What's New in Version 2000
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 is a significant release because it continues to build upon the framework Microsoft created with SQL Server 7.0. It has become the database of choice for e-Business and data warehousing initiatives, and it continues to set the standard for performance, ease-of-use, and out-of-the-box functionality. Also, SQL Server 2000 is a supporting component to the Microsoft.NET strategy. Those administrators who are upgrading from previous versions will be very pleased with the 2000 product and all that it has to offer.
