SQL Server 2008 Release
Microsoft squeeeeezed in the
July CTP for SQL Server 2008 with barely a few hours to spare. It
includes some interesting new functionality. It looks like separate date and time
data types are finally included as well as support for a time zone aware
datetime data type. There are also improvements in Reporting Services,
Analysis Services, improved dependency handling in T-SQL, improved XML support,
large user-defined types and various other enhancements. Microsoft also
posted a neat
chart summarizing the improvements.
