Beta testing SP1

Is it possible to get a list of all the fixes and enhancements that are going into SP1 for SSIS? This will make it alot easier to test seeing as we will know what we are looking for.

Regards

-Jamie

Any answer to this guys? I've got it installed but don't know what I'm looking for.

Beta program for Laguna?

Hi,
I'm interested in looking at SQL Server Mobile Edition (Laguna) and
wondered if there was a beta program for it, and the possibility of
getting on the program.

Thanks.

beta headache

Hi Folks,

I'm still using the the SQL Server 2005 June CTP to develop. I'm working for a client that intends to upgrade, but has not done so yet. We believed that we had 365 days from the date of installation before it would expire (late July). But Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 just expired, which is used by SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio, so now we can no longer develop SSIS packages or Reporting Services reports.

What can I do?

I thought that maybe installing Visual Studio 2005 express might work, but when I went there, it seems that it is split up into modules (e.g. Visual Basic 2005 express, Visual C++ express, etc...). I don't know if just one of these would be sufficient and if so, which one. Even if it would, it says I'll need to completely remove the SQL Server 2005 beta, as well as the Visual Studio 2005 beta, and I think the .net framework.

My contract is up at the end of June, and it was understood that the client was going to take care of the upgrade. Is there a quick fix here? What can I do with minimal effort? (I don't really have time to wait for the client to get the upgrade approved and done. I know, sniff, sniff! lol.)

Uninstalling and reinstalling really shouldn't be terribly time consuming. You should definitely get off the betas and onto released software. For SQL, you can go straight to Express at SP1 level (i.e., don't bother installing Express RTM because the remastered version with SP1 bits is now available, and better). If you don't have stuff in master like special logins, a simple uninstall/reinstall will be easiest. If you do feel a need to retain the Master database, use the special /savesysdb switch when you uninstall and then you can carry all that stuff over to the current build.

Sorry, I don't have any answers for you on the Visual Studio Express bits to use. I'm sure they've got a forum up here where you can ask that question.

Beta Data Conversion

I have a data file in Beta 2 version, but now I've already uninstalled the
beta version and installed a new Release Version of SQLServer 2005. Does
anybody know how to convert the data file to be usable in SQLServer 2005?Jeffry
Are you talking about .MDF datafile? If you are , have you tried to attach
the file? There are two system stored procedures as sp_detach_db,
sp_attach_db

Beta 2 Management studio navigation

A couple of questions:
-- I can see how to desgin a table in the tree, but how do you quickly view all rows in a table like you could in enterprise manager?
-- Where do you go to set up a new DTS script if it is not done with the wizard?
Thanks.
If you have a question about SQL Server 2005 Beta 2, please ask it in
the newsgroups that have been established for it. You can find out how
to access those newsgroups where you got the beta version of SQL Server
2005.
