Microsoft® SQL Server™ version 7.0 extends the scalability of SQL Server at both ends of the performance spectrum. SQL Server 7.0 adds enhanced support for desktop users by running on Microsoft Windows® 95/98. Many of the architectural changes made to the database engine and the data structures in SQL Server 7.0 databases increase the speed with which very large databases (VLDBs) are processed. These enhancements make the same SQL Server database engine a good choice for managing databases ranging from a small, personal database on a Windows 95/98 laptop to terabyte databases accessed by thousands of Internet users.
