I haven't heard about any general problems with Symantec AV Corporate
Edition and SQL Server. We use CE 9 and I haven't noticed anything, but our
SQL Server systems are pretty lightly loaded.
I have heard RUMORs that CE 10 is a "disaster". Neither source (one of whom
was in a position to very much be in the know) has provided details, so I
take the claim with a large grain of salt. But I'm always interested in
getting more details so we can factor them into our plans for an upgrade to
CE 10.
