    I haven't seen it posted anywhere yet but SQL Server 2008 has officially gone gold and is now available on MSDN and Technet :) http://www.betanews.com/article/No_more_delays_SQL_Server_2008_released_to_manufacturing/1218058175[^] If people could now wait an hour or so before the free for all begins it would be appreciated :) <edit>Kudos to Microsoft for actually listening to feedback and sorting their subscribers site out :)</edit>

      Sweet! I never got around to testing that Beta, or CTP, or whatever the last thing before the RTM was, and I guess now I wont need to. Also:

      The article wrote:

      You can cd to a table, and run a dir on the table's contents.

      Methinks MS was trying too hard :)

      "impossible" is just an opinion.

        Yeah, I was just gong to post about it. Here is a quick link to What's New in 2008.. Going to have to check this out! http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc434690.aspx[^] A few things got me drooling a bit: * Compression at row or page level * Merge - Insert/Update rolled in one * LINQ Provider (actually use directly against SQL Server 2008 tables/columns) * Date and Time enhancements * Filestream data type

          Thats the way powershell works ... data strctures are exposed via the file system ... I wonder where they could have 'borrowed' that idea[^] from? ;)
