Musings on SQL Server Manageability

This is the personal blog of Richard Waymire, Program Manager for SQL Server's Management Platform team.

CTP5 should be out Monday

And it's got stuff lots of you have been waiting for - the vast majority of SQL Server 2005 support is now in the project.  That means you can import SQL Server 2005 databases into projects, design and build them, and then deploy them. 

There are some language features that we're not quite done with, but these shouldn't affect the majority of users.  Stuff that's missing includes ALTER support for some security & service broker stuff.  What this practically means to you is that if you have a post-deployment script that includes one of these statements we won't fully understand it.

However, most of those items are NOT used in core project entries.  So this won't stop you from testing the majority of scenarios with SQL Server 2005.
