Microsoft to overhaul admin features for Yukon

Microsoft continued to peel away the blinds covering its pending "Yukon" SQL Server version of its database software Wednesday with the introduction of new enhancements to the company's database administration technology.

Announced at the annual 2003 Professional Association for SQL Server (PASS) Community Summit in Seattle, the improved SQL Server extract, transform and load (ETL) tools are designed to cut down on the manual knob-tuning for database administrators (DBAs), which gives the software features something in common with Oracle's pending 10G database technology.
