MCP Magazine | at | by Mike
Microsoft ratcheted up its product support for SQL Server 2005 by releasing Service Pack 3 on Monday, along with SP3 Cumulative Update 1. On the same day, the company also released Cumulative Update 11 for SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 2.
If that weren't enough, the company offered incentives for Microsoft's partners and Microsoft Dynamics customers to jump to SQL Server 2008, which was released as a product last summer.
Microsoft is updating its price list on January 1, 2009 and will replace the runtime for SQL Server 2005 with that of Microsoft SQL Server 2008, according to a Microsoft Dynamics blog.
