Sql express vs workgroup 1

[jordanking]

hello, I am looking to upgrade from express to workgroup.

this may be out of the scope of this forum, but does anyone work with sql server workgroup? I was wondering if the managability features "Profiler" and "Database tuner advisor" come with it. I have found documentation from microsoft that it does and does not.

this page says it does not:

this page says it does: (2/3 of the way down)

http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinfo/features/compare-features.mspx

SQL Server 2005 Workgroup includes the full SQL Server Management Studio in addition to the other SQL Server database management tools including SQL Agent, SQL Profiler, and the Import/Export Wizard.

I don't work with it but if I remember correctly, Workgroup is the same as Express but with SQL Agent and Log Shipping capabilities. It also makes use of more CPU's and memory and does not have a databse size limit.

I got confirmation that workgroup does not come with profiler, howerver you can run profiler against workgroup if you already have it as a part of standard or enterprise.
