| Well, I know they (FINALLY!!!) dropped the obsolete *=, =* outer join syntax. They've also limited direct access to system tables. Both of these are definitely good things so no one will be missing these old features. |

Do they have anything like compatibility mode, so you can get your favorite obsolete features back.quote:

| I vaguely remember someone posting that *= did NOT work in compatibility mode either, but I think it was one of the older CTP/beta releases. I haven't tested it, but I kinda hope that one remains broken forever, it's only been on the obsolete list for 10 years. |

I believe it didn't work in April, but it did in June.  I might be wrong though. hmmmI'm currently redownloading ALL the MSDN software since I blew my computer away BEFORE I copied everything to one of my other drives. This should give you "another" good laugh Rob.MeanOldDBAderrickleggett@hotmail.comWhen life gives you a lemon, fire the DBA. |

| I removed about 40 undocumented and deprecated DBCC commands. I also removed the functionality of DBCC PINTABLE without it going through standard deprecation as its a dangerous command which no-one needs to run (i.e. you can't beat the buffer pool algorithms).Paul RandalDev Lead, Microsoft SQL Server Storage Engine(Legalese: This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.) |
