SQL Server 2005 sp 1 was released on April 18th. Information can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/sql/sp1.mspx
Download SQL Server 2005 Service Pack 1
And then there are some new tools and SP1 for SQL Server 2005 Express Edition at http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/sql/download/.
But right now, the most exiting thing to me is the SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services, which includes
- SQL Server Management Studio Express, a graphical management tool based on SQL Server Management Studio that makes it easy to manage and administer SQL Server Express databases.
- Reporting Services, an integrated report creation and design environment to create reports.
- Full-Text Search, a powerful search engine for searching text-intensive data.
I realize I'm quite geeky when I do get excited about a free version of Reporting Services. :)
