Roundup of new SQL Server 2008 Downloads Just Released
- by Scott Whigham on April 11, 2009 3:46 AMAs often happens around a service pack 1 release (see SQL Server 2008 SP1 Released!), MSFT released a flurry of other downloads as well. This time, we get a Feature Pack, a new Report Builder, some B.I. stuff, and even a new Upgrade Advisor. Here’s a listing with links of the latest SQL Server 2008 downloads:
- SQL Server 2008 SP1
- SQL Server 2008 Upgrade Advisor – April 2009
- SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services Add-in for SharePoint - April 2009
- Microsoft SQL Server JDBC Driver 2.0
- SQL Server 2008 Data Mining Add-ins for Microsoft Office 2007 - April 2009
- SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services Report Builder 2.0 - April 2009
And the big daddy: the SQL Server 2008 Feature Pack (April 2009) which features all of the above except SP1. In the feature pack, you’ll find updated versions of previously installed/used tools like the SQL Server 2005 Backward Compatibility Components and SQLCMD as well as features you may not have really used much yet such as the Windows PowerShell Extensions for SQL Server and Datamining Viewer Controls.
