If you are using older hardware, your installation time may vary. SQL Server 2017 developer version is full featured free edition, which you can use on your development and test database (but not on production database). Additionally, note that my hardware is pretty good installation was completed very quickly. I have used the developer’s edition in the video. I think it is a fair ask.įor the same reason, I have created a quick video about how to install SQL Server 2017. I think lots of people wanted to see how the installation process is before they do it themselves. However, it seems like lots of readers wanted to see the installation video of the latest version of SQL Server. This was the primary reason, I had not created an installation video for SQL Server 2017. The installation of SQL Server 2017 is pretty straight forward and very similar to previous versions of SQL Server.
I have been using it for a while and it is a pretty stable release from Microsoft. SQL Server 2017 has been released for a while.
