All about Microsoft | at | by Mike
On the last day of July, Microsoft made available to testers a new Community Technology Preview build of its SQL Server 2008 database, code-named "Katmai."
The July CTP build comes one month after the June CTP. Microsoft is expected to test SQL Server 2008 primarily, if not exclusively, via CTPs, which are not full-fledged beta builds, but more like interim updates.
Microsoft has been talking about SQL Server 2008 features by categorizing them in a handful of buckets: "Pervasive insight, "dynamic development," enterprise data platform and beyond relational." On the Microsoft Connect site, theres a great slide listing specific SQL Server 2008 features that Microsoft introduced in the June CTP and what it added into the July CTP.
