SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 1 (SP1) CTP

Just woke up ready to celebrate my birthday (do not try to ask a woman how old she is :-P) and discovered the CTP version of SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 1 (SP1) is now available. Hum, well, I will check it out but definitely not today I am afraid as I have other plans in mind... :-)!

With this release, there are significant investments to ease deployment and management of Service Packs:

  • Slipstream - You are now able to integrate the base installation with service packs (or Hotfixes) and install in a single step.
  • Service Pack Uninstall - You are now able to uninstall only the Service Pack (without removing the whole instance)
  • Report Builder 2.0 Click Once capability
