Hello everyone Smile

I've heard that Microsoft are releasing new free version of SQL Server. Is that true and where can I download it?



Thanks,

Bob

Hi Bob,

Microsoft has released only a Beta 2 version of the SQL Server Express 2005. You can find more info about SQL Server Express 2005 here:

Yeah, I'm curious what the differences are as well.

Is this recently new? It seems Microsoft is releasing a decent amount of new things (this, windows messenger live beta, etc)

I just noticed this, thanks Don
Good article

SQL 2005 is a little older now though isn't it?
