[dba-SQLServer] Being helpful

Hi John

Enjoy the launch, and make sure to pick up your Heroes wallet.  Nope, you
won't find SQLS 2008 in there (apart from the Nov 07 CTP), because MS
haven't got it working yet!  But you do get a nice Appreciation Voucher card
(wow!) - which will entitle you to the Standard Edition when it does come
out...

John

I shall sit on my wallet then and wait for SQL Server 2008.  I am going to a
product launch down in Charlotte next month and should get my copy there. It
sounds like it will be worth the time to learn the new environment.

Of course that means a whole new set of books.  My wife HATES my books, at
$45-$60 apiece.  Has anyone seen any 2008 books that they can recommend?
BASIC PROGRAMMING!  ;-)

it would seem that you may look forward to the ever upgrade path from M$.
while there are current purchasable apps you can get for Sql Server such as
Sql Prompt (2.0 free or 3.0purchase) that provide intellisense and really
help speed up much of the syntax building process there are also other tools
from similar vendors that will help with syntax problems etc.  The follow up
upgrade to sql server, that is SqlServer 2008 will provide a lot of really
cool tools such as intellisense, and the ability to run the same script
accross multiple servers etc. neat stuff, along w/ things like db
comrpession etc.

Until then, I think the community has been helpful, and so long as we all
try to stay ontopic we can avoid another rant gone wrong.
