The RTM version of Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2008 Database Edition GDR R2 is now available for customers to download. The GDR R2 version is the most current release of Database Edition that adds support for SQL Server 2008 and numerous new features. See the GDR R2 download page for more details. The GDR R2 is available to all customers through the same Microsoft Download channel customers acquired the GDR from. The previous version of the GDR is no longer available.
We appreciate customers who participated in service release candidate evaluation program and confirmed fixes in that limited release.
Version Upgrade

Customers currently using the [9.1.31124.01] version of GDR should upgrade to GDR R2 version [9.1.40413.00] to get the latest set of fixes available for the product.

Customers currently using Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2008 Database Edition [9.0.30729.1 SP] should upgrade to GDR R2. It is not necessary to install the GDR prior to installing GDR R2. A project upgrade for projects previously created with the GDR is required when upgrading to GDR R2, but the upgraded project will stay compatible with the GDR. A project upgrade for projects previously created with the Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2008 Database Edition [9.0.30729.1 SP] is required when upgrading to GDR R2 resulting in upgraded projects that are only compatible with GDR and GDR R2.
