For the 'Knight's 24-Hour Trainer Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Integration Services' book, is it correct that the SQL Express (Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2) will not work with this book ? When I attempt to use the 'AdventureWorks2008' database for the Lessons in the book, it request me to turn on the Full Text Search feature, but when I look at the features within the SQL Express version, it's not an option at all. Is this correct ????

Appreciate a fast response to my question ?

Thanks

Unfortunately you cannot use SQL Express to do any SSIS other than the basic import/export wizard. Best to purchase a copy of SQL 2008 R2 Developer Edition (about $50 / £40) from the Microsoft store. It has the same features as the Enterprise version but it is limited to a development (non-production) environment.
