Its really leasing to see the feedback given incorporated, even if it has been used word for word (I'm sure I should get some royalities :) <br> <br>However there's still no pages covering and explaining the standard error messages in SQL.

Looking at the discussion of this it is clear that our new efforts to do a better job telling customers what we added and what we changed in BOL (something we never did before) is not fully understood. <br> <br>The updated content is now available on msdn and there you can see the topic where we list links to what we added and what we changed: <a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345309">http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345309</a>(en-US,SQL.90).aspx#BKMK_SSDE <br> <br>In addition, we have added change tracking tables to many of the updated topics so a customer can tell what part of the topic we have updated. Example in this topic: <a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143496.aspx">http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143496.aspx</a> <br> <br>Our goal is to post the new and updated topics to the online library on an ongoing basis and then roll all new and updated content into the quarterly downloads (unfortunately we can’t do incremental updates to the local copy of BOL yet). This should address several of the comments posted to your blog entry. <br> <br><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=502094" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/euanga/archive/2005/12/07/500750.aspx#502047Fri, 09 Dec 2005 19:30:08 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:502047Travis OwensBinh Cao &amp; C To, <br> <br>I think you misread my point... which was, the team should release updates as often as they feel neccesary, I'm just suggesting instead of downloading a whole new books online, I'd like to get just the newest update pack. <br> <br>And for the team to interminately release a full install refresh every once in awhile. <br> <br>This means you install the ~100meg BOL package now, and every month or two you install a 3meg update package instead of having to download another ~100meg package every 1-2 months.<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=502047" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/euanga/archive/2005/12/07/500750.aspx#502037Fri, 09 Dec 2005 19:10:27 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:502037C ToYou read newspaper or articles everyday. For some IT industry today, to get information refreshed on even the same product every three months can be a serious cripple. I won't lobby for going for less. <br> <br>Updates on the documentation can be and should be done whenever possible. There is no punishment for your machines or operating system if you do so. These updates are not system updates. If you don't like the more frequently, you can do it less frequently, you do have a choice. You can do it once a year. All you want to ask is that they should be accumulative. Some people want to read Internet news every minute, and many only read daily newspaper, while quite a few prefer only monthly magazines. <br> <br>For people who don't like using the out-of-date information when there new info available, we now have a choice.<div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=502037" width="1" height="1">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/euanga/archive/2005/12/07/500750.aspx#501275Thu, 08 Dec 2005 01:29:41 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:501275Binh Caospeak for yourself travis. <br>I think whenever there is a good sizable changes in content, there should be an update....the size of the download should not matter, the value of the content and the accuracy of the document should be the factor determining when an update is released. <br> <br><div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://blogs.msdn.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=501275" width="1" height="1">
