SQL Server 2008 Services Architecture Diagram

Question

I recently saw a poster/chart that pictorially depicted the SQL Server 2008 Database Engine and the Services (Integration/Analysis/Reporting etc) along with the relationshops between these services and the engine and some level detail for each service. I can't seem to find the chart on the MSDN online books for download.

Is it available on MSDN (pdf) or does this chart need to be purchased?

Thanks,

Yaseen

Hi Yaseen,

I could only find the chart in the following page, if it is not the one you want, please let me know.

Tom,

Thanks for your message and link. This is not the diagram I saw on the poster, is there any way to check if the poster is available for purchase. Its about 2 feet and 4 feet. It seems like the perfect overview of SQL Server 2008 and its services.

Its similar to the MFC class charts that were available 10-15 years ago that provided an overview of classes and hierarchy.

Any information would be most appreciated.

Best wishes,

Yaseen

I think you're referring to the SQL Server 2008 System Views Map.  ; )
