Microsoft slips out database test release
C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft has released another test version of its forthcoming SQL Server 2005 database and has introduced a free management tool.
The company made the second "community technology preview" of SQL Server 2005 available on Friday. A third test version, which will be made more widely available to customers, is expected early next year. A final version of the database is due by the summer.
SQL Server 2005, code-named Yukon, had been expected some time this year. In March, however, Microsoft pushed back its final delivery target to the second half of 2005.
