what is SQL Server Katmai

Question

Hello everyone,

can any one update me on this. Is this a new product from Microsoft? How different is it from SQL Server 2005.

I'm working in a Data warehouse project which is about to start its development and the environment we have is SQL Server 2005 as Database & Integration Services as ETL Tool.

Please do guide me, should i move to "katmai" instead of SQL Server 2005 and how different would be the performance. 

 

Answer 1

 

Katmai is just the next version of sql server, aka sql server 2008.  They have put a lot of work into the BI side of things such as revamping reporting services and adding change data capture to the database engine.  Here's a link to the new features page and there are also a good many webcasts to be found over there.
