Spatial Data Server 10.1 and SQL Express

[DougCollins]

Greetings,

The documentation for ArcGIS Server 10.1 seems to indicate that the Spatial Data Server will only work with the Enterprise editions of ArcGIS Server 10.1.  Does anyone know if the Spatial Data Server will work with the Workgroup editions of ArcGIS Server 10.1 and SQL Express (2008 or 2012)?

Thanks, I appreciate any help you can provide me.

Spatial Data Server is only available with ArcGIS Server Enterprise and will not work with workgroup geodatabases.

One of the main reasons for using Spatial Data Server is to publish feature services from a database, though.  You can use ArcGIS Server Workgroup to publish feature services from workgroup geodatabases... 

Or did you mean you want to use Spatial Data Server with databases in a SQL Server Express instance (not a "database server" that contains geodatabases)?  If so, you should be able to do that, as long as you have purchased ArcGIS Server Enterprise, which, as mentioned, is the only way to get Spatial Data Server.
