SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition - Kudos to the SQL Team
If you track the Microsoft or ASP.NET weblogs you've surely noticed that roughly two weeks ago now Microsoft released SSCE or SQL Server 2005 Compact Edition. Rather than simply saying "they released it, go download it because it's cool" I want to openly thank the SQL team for providing a very interesting product. As luck would have it, I was working on a POC for a customer in the later part of December into early January, and they actually RTM'd the day prior to my final demo (thanks guys!) and allowed me to provide a rather interesting demo using an approach very different than I had planned. While I'm on the topic, I'd like to give a shout-out to Jim Wilson who helped me diagnose a rather esoteric problem I was having with the CTP.
