SQL Server 2012 Released
Microsoft announced the release of SQL Server 2012.What’s in it? How to I get up to speed with this Release? Check out the link for more information.

Microsoft Says,

Customers can download the latest version of SQL Server 2012 here . Also, for a deep dive on all things SQL Server 2012, check out the SQL Server 2012 Virtual Launch Event. All content from the Virtual Launch Event will be available until June 30, 2012. The event features 30+ webcasts from SQL Server 2012 experts in addition to a number of other multimedia features from Microsoft partners.

Personally, I’m an Engine guy. So, there is little in this release for me personally. For those of you using the Microsoft BI stack, WOW! There are some really great performance improvements and extensions to existing functionality. There are also a lot of new BI capabilities.

Are you using SQL Azure? This release has some new tools making it easier to develop in both native SQL engine and SQL Azure.

Go check it out.

Cheers,

Ben
