Microsoft Has Released SQL Server 2008

Today, Microsoft announced that official release of SQL Server 2008. Build #10.0.1600.22 has been declared as a SQL Server RTM.

SQL Server 2008 includes major enhancements to the Microsoft Business Intelligence Stack, some of which I have mentioned in my previous posts.

Note that if you have Visual Studio 2008 on your machine, you must wait for a few more days to get the official release of Visual Studio 2008 SP1, which is a required prerequisite to integrate the SQL Server 2008 client tools with Visual Studio 2008.

Enjoy!
