Scenario: ISS 8.5 is on our work machines, our Microsoft SQL Server is currently down for an indeterminate amount of time, and we don't have a back-up. We can continue to develop code on localhost. Because SQL Server is down, we can't execute any data transactions. Are there any reliable resources online to, at least, test if the developed SQL syntax is correct?

Edit: I will go ahead and eat my words. I had presumed that we were not allowed to install SQL Server Express locally. That was a bad guess. After I had sent our boss the suggestion from marc_s, he gave us the go-ahead. Now we have a back-up plan. For the record, the SQL Server is now online.

You must have access to another SQL server in order to test code against a SQL server. Your only options are to install SQL server on local machines, install SQL server on a local networked computer, or use a SQL server installed at a third party host.

  • As it currently stands, the first two options are out. Which leaves the third: "use a SQL server installed at a third party host". – JR.sc Jan 14 '16 at 20:38
