最近有一些幾萬年沒人關注的財務相關的系統要遷移SQL Server數據,找人問了一大圈才知道他們當初具體買的什么版本然后在某個犄角旮旯的ftp服務器里找到了相應的安裝包。
鑒於每次向人解釋SQL Server各個發行版之間的差異實在是耗費心力,於是在官網找了一個說明貼出來。
Editions and supported features - SQL Server 2017 | Microsoft Docs
一、發行版差別簡易說明(SQLServer2017為例):

二、發行版之間的規模差異

三、高可用特性差異

1 For more information on installing SQL Server on Server Core, see Install SQL Server on Server Core.
2 On Enterprise Edition, the number of nodes is the operating system maximum. On Standard edition there is support for two nodes.
3 On Enterprise Edition, provides support for up to 8 secondary replicas - including 2 synchronous secondary replicas.
4 Standard Edition supports basic availability groups. A basic availability group supports two replicas, with one database. For more information about basic availability groups, see Basic Availability Groups.
補充:
很多發行版還會有Enterprise core和Enterprise版本的差別,微軟在版本命名這方面無下限的很,不是親手和官方銷售談的合同買的根本理不清。
關於Enterprise core和Enterprise版本的差別,enterprise有20核的上限,而enterprise core版本無核數上限的。
