I know that for the full edition of Sql Server it is readily understood as MSSQS or simply SQS, is there a corresponding acronym for the Express edition?

---

I've never heard of "MSSQS" being an acronym for anything. I've pretty much just heard MSSQL and, if the specific version is needed, then it's said.

---

Neither MSSQS nor SQS gives any Google hits for SQL Server. MSSQL is the most common abbreviation, although Microsoft never abbreviates the product name, so MSSQL is strictly a community thing.

Also, there is no "full" edition, there are Enterprise, Standard, Developer etc. So even "MSSQL" is ambiguous, as you can see here on Stackoverflow from the numerous MSSQL questions that do not mention the edition (or even version).

I don't think there is a concrete acronym for SQL Server Express edition, but if you want to use the instance name of a SQL Server Express instance you could always use 'SQLEXPRESS'.
