SQL Server for Education Purpose

Question

I have 60 students and as it is Covid season, we are having the classes in online mode. I am supposed to teach them SSIS and SSRS as one of the topics in database technology. Instead of installing sql server in all of the student's computers, can I setup sql server in a cloud such that all students can access as different users and have there training.
Do I have to install it by myself ?
Will i get support ?
How much will be the charges?

Answer 1

You can use SQL Server Developer Edition for this, and there's no restriction against using it on a shared server, but you'd still have to pay for hosting the Windows server, which might be $5-$10/hour for an environment multiple users can work on.

A better idea might be to explore getting the students Azure educational accounts: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/free/students/

Answer 2

Hi @thomas thomas ,

We can download the following tools:

1. SQL Server
2. SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
3. SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) for Visual Studio

Best Regards,
