I'd suggest you get New IT Guys.
The Max Size of a Database in SQL Server as provided with SBS 2000 is 1
TERABYTE. - One thousand gigabytes.
Even an MSDE and Jet for Access 2000+ has a Max Size of 2 GB and AFAIK
the only MS Database with a 1 GB Limit was Jet pre Access 2000.
It is also -not- the case that SQL Server on SBS causes any damage to
SBS files. It's a total nonsense.
I think with the 100s of Thousands of SBS 2000 Premium with SQL Server
installs we'd have heard about it by now.
Perhaps if these Guys have specific evidence of such corruption they
would care to post it here so we can investigate and resolve it for the
good of all users.
( ...and as a double check in the millions of Usenet posts in Google
Archives I can't find one instance of such a claim )
