Need for SQL

I'm in the process of ordering a new 2003 server from
Dell. It will be used in a Doctor's office with <5
clients. In your opinion is SQL software an essential
ingredient for overall performance, or does the 2003
server already incorporate many of the features of SQL ?
In simple terms what does SQL provide that 2003 srever
doesn't? As you can see I'm confused, I want to save cost
and not be redundant but in know way do I want to limit
the capabilities of the office.Hi
You may want to look at Small Business Server 2003. This includes amongst
others!
Windows 2003
Exchange 2003
The premium edition includes SQLServer 2000.
Although it may be alot of software to run on a single system the pricing of
this product may make it a viable option if you are looking to deploy all
three applications.
