RE: SQL Server 2005 Review

Isn't it only natural, that complex systems are trying to get simpler, while simple systems are trying to get more complex, encroaching on each other territory?
Thanks Jared, good article.

Subject: SQL Server 2005 Review

Here is an interesting review of SQL Server 2005 by EWeek. Seems to be quite objective.

http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1896097,00.asp

One of the more interesting bits from an Oracle perspective:

   However, by making management more complex, Microsoft has discarded the

   one significant advantage it had over Oracle Database 10g and IBM's DB2-ease

   of administration. This makes DB2 and Oracle Database 10g look all the more

   attractive for their broader choice of development frameworks, management

   interfaces, and server hardware and operating systems.

Some of us might find that somewhat ironic.
