Nowadays, Microsoft has released the Express edition of SQL Server 2019. We can use this edition for lightweight data-driven mobile, desktop or web applications. However, when we decide to use this edition, the supported features have to be checked in the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/sql\/sql-server\/editions-and-components-of-sql-server-version-15?view=sql-server-ver15\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Editions and supported features of SQL Server 2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the database size can not exceed 10 GB and the SQL Server Agent feature is not supported by the Express editions. As a result, we must take the limited features into consideration before planning to use the SQL Express Editions.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Download_SQL_Server_Express_2019_edition\"><\/span>Download SQL Server Express 2019 edition<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We can download the express edition of SQL Server 2019 from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/sql-server\/sql-server-downloads\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Microsoft official web site<\/a>.
