SQL Server 2008: Why do all the Microsoft web sites still point at and talk about SQL Server 2005

  • 项目

In short there is a "rolling thunder" plan to both release bits and update all the sites.

Yesterday the MSDN subscriber sites were updated, also the MVP and TAP sites.

Today Eval Edition and Feature Pack became available

    Thats a bit of a silly question. The reason why all the sites still refer to 2005 a lot is because the vast majority of DBAs are currently using 2005 and will be for a fair while yet! If MS switched to 2008 immediately I think there would be a lot of angry DBAs and developers :-)

    I want to start programing and database managment. I don't want to use Access. Can I start using sql on my laptop with regular configuration. Are there books available for the same. Please consider I am a novice of SQL.

    Harry, Welcome to the wonderful world of data-centric apps! I would suggest you start by downloading one of the express editions of visual studio along with the express edition of sql server. There is lots of info on SQL Server 2005 Express and some books and tools. SQL Server 2008 Express is the newest version but all the tools and books are not there yet. You could also look at SQl Server Compact Edition. There are forums on http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn dedicated to express, compact and also new users. Enjoy. -Euan
