marcandalysse 0 #3 March 4, 2008 Quote a new SEQUEL Server guess what? that's what it was first called before turning into SQL...When willl MS catch on and stop naming their products with YEARS? SServer2005 barely came out in 2005 and looks like SS2008 may miss the mark its been delayed till fall....Plus nobody will start using it in production till 2009 once the first service/bug patch comes out!When someone asks me to build a system with SS2005 I remind them that this is 2008!!mp "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marcandalysse 0 #4 March 5, 2008 I know the thread was to link to that 'funny' video, but to me there is nothing funny about MS...this article just came out today..... QuoteSQL DBA Underwood, wish that Microsoft would sharpen its data management focus -- that is, concentrate on improving SQL Server-the-relational-database, instead of building in add-ons, extra bells and whistles, and developer- or manageability-friendly amenities. "In many cases I think they are building too much into their products: Office, SQL Server, Windows, all of them," he says. "There are core things that each product is good at and they tend to become over-engineered, bloated, and unwieldy when they try to put everything into one package. I think the focus should be on performance tuning, ANSI SQL extensions, backups, and recovery, the things a RDBMS are supposed to do.Almost no one is considering migrating to SQL Server 2008 at the moment" "The reason angels can fly is that they take themselves so lightly." --GK Chesterton Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
