Which SQL 2005 Version to Buy

Would like to buy SQL Server 2005 for my server to use with CF. There are 2 versions Workgroup and Standard. The only feature I see on standard that makes me think I should buy it is Web Services (HTTP Endpoints). Support for native Web services, Web Services Description Language (WSDL), and Web authentication.

Can anyone help let me know if I need to buy the standard version with this to work with ColdFusion?

it is very unlikely that you will want to 'buy' SQL Server. Get the desktop version, it works the same and is free. It only can be used for development, but I'm guessing that's all you need it for. If not, try using MySQL. it's free and works almost as good for small apps.
