SQL Server 2008 SP1 Released!

And guess what – no new features in the SQL Server itself! I was somewhat surprised that there aren’t any new sp_configure bits or new trace flags… Now, there are new things; just no new features in the SQL Server Database Engine.

New Stuff:

  • Slipstreaming installations – allows us to create an install DVD w/ SP1 already applied
  • Ability to uninstall SP and cumulative updates without having to completely uninstall/reinstall SQL Server (hmmmmmmmmm)
  • Report Builder 2.0 for SSRS

Gotchas:

  • Install Visual Studio 2008 SP1 first if you have VS2008 on your box – read KB956139 for this blog post or more info
