I have the same sentiment here... but I think one should bear in mind what SAS University Edition is intended for. It is an awesome program (as I am sure we all here in the community know full well) and they need to make sure that University Edition is not used for corporate gain. My take on it is, that as soon as as you have a SQL server running, then it is a very strong indicator that you are in a corporate environment and should not be using University Edition. But yes, I too have SQL running on my local machine so that I can practice and hone my skills. And it is unfortunate that you can't connect SAS University Edition to it... but I feel there is a good enough reason for it. Just my 2c worth.
