Touring the Yukon Territory
Sit back, relax, and eat some popcorn. It's time to watch my home movies of my trip through the Yukon territory. Now that you've run from the room, screaming that you don't want to see home movies, I'll fess up. I have no home movies and I've never been to the Yukon Territory of Canada. The Yukon I'm speaking of is the next version of SQL Server, code-named Yukon. Microsoft has chosen SQL Server 2005 as the official name for the product.
I've been spending some time working with Yukon over the past month. I must say that I'm somewhat overwhelmed. There is LOTS in there. Yukon will change the way you write applications for SQL Server. There are changes how you install, manage, write T-SQL, handle security, and much, much more. One member of the Yukon team said this update is bigger than SQL Server 7.0 was.
If you haven't seen it yet, it's time you should. Microsoft is showing off its home movies of Yukon beginning December 6 in a series of SQL Server 2005 Webcasts. This will be a great opportunity for you to see what's changed in the database, slated for released next summer.
So, sit back, relax, and eat some popcorn.
