newbie question

hi,
before i continue, let me first gave you an overview about
my status. i new to SQL Server before i'm just using MS
Access database. i have a win 98se, with 32mb memory! i
have a couple of simple app/addin and i wanted to use SQL
Server. first i bought SQL Server 2k enterprise edition,
but when i already installing the application if found out
i need to upgrade my hardware and software in order to use
it. but i don't have the money to it.
so my first question:
Is it possible to SQL Server2k enterprise edition on my
computer without upgrading my software and hardware:
so i bought the later version, SQL 7. at first glance on
its documentation i found some interesting text. SQL-DMO,
i believe this is the Object model to manipulate all
objects and collection inside the SQL Server. Please
correct me if not!.
so my second question:
What happen to ADO? Does it mean to say I can use either
of the two or pick just one to do my database work?
thank for advance. Please don't make me look stupid or
something. Remember i'm a newbie!hi newbie,
I heard from a friend that SQL 7.0 runs in win 98.
you can try.
about ADO you can download the mdac component from download.microsoft.com to
have the new drivers to access
SQL data bases. you can look for string connections here:
