Ms Sql Server 2000 64 Bit Free Download

The free version of sql server 2000 is called 'MSDE'. I haven't tried it, but I don't think it works with windows 7. If it does work with Windows 7, you'll have to make sure you run the installer as administrator, and remember that being logged in to the administrator account isn't enough to ensure that happens anymore.Otherwise, you'll have to update to at least sql server 2005. Both sql server 2005 and sql server 2008 have express editions with licenses that do permit production use if that's any help.

If that doesn't work you'll need to install sql server 2000 on a separate machine (even a vm would do) and use newer sql server management studio software to connect to it.
