SQL Server 2005 has been tweaked drastically to make your life as a Database Administrator (DBA) or Developer easier.
While much of the core functionality has been carried over from previous versions of SQL Server, many of the rules of play have changed:
* SQL Server 2005 makes your life as a DBA or Developer easier because it combines good productivity features, easy to use new tools, and a more powerful than ever database engine.
* Now DBAs and Developers can work together more easily–the tools for each job have been integrated and simplified inside the new SQL Server Management Studio.
* SQL Server 2005 is faster than all previous versions–it broke the 1,000,000 transactions per minute milestone, which means it can now compete with the major players in the enterprise database market.
With this new version, there’s a lot to learn.
