I am just gettting into database design. Do I invest in SQL Server 7 or SQL
Server 2000

Can't think of a single reason to stay in 7.0. 2000 is simply better, and a
no-brainer to update to.

As Dave said, you cannot really purchase SQL 7 anymore. You can purchase
a 2k License and Downgrade. That is install 7 until your software can be
bumped up.

If you are purchasing personally, or ?? keep the developer version in mind.
Much cheaper, about $ 400.
