VWD 2008 Express.  Visual Basic.

I have some questions:

1.  If I create a web site that uses a local database (stored in a directory in my web site's root directory) handled by SQL Server 2008 Express, what happens when I move the site from VWD to my server?  My server has SQL Server 2005 Standard running on it.  Will my site run even if SQL Server 2008 Express is not installed on the server?  Do I need to install SQL Server 2008 Express on my server?

2.  Can my Windows 2003 Server run both SQL Server 2005 Standard and SQL Server 2008 Express?

3.  What advantages/disadvantages are there in using SQL Server 2008 Express rather than SQL Server 2005 Standard to manage my site's database.  Can I create views, functions, and routines in SQL Server 2008 Express while in the VWD environment?

Thanks for the help.
