Microsoft on Thursday released its third Community Technical Preview of the SQL Server 2005 database. The new code drop, the first CTP since December, includes the new Report Builder and Management Studio features as well as 64-bit support, Microsoft said. The company also will post more Visual Studio 2005 bits to ensure that the recently released Visual Studio CTP works with this latest code.
A Microsoft spokeswoman said the third--and hopefully final--beta of the database is still on track for the first quarter, meaning that it must be released by the end of March. The CTP for the first SQL Server 2005, code-named Yukon, dropped in October, when Microsoft said it was adding another test round to the delayed database.
