| Thanks spirit1,I guess my question is do we know if this would be the next "version" or just and update to 2008? ie. Does anyone know if the compatibility setting for SQL 2000 will be removed in this release or not?I've inherited some old code that has alot of TSQL style joins and I'm trying to prioritize refactoring. The code won't run unless the db is set to 80 compatibility mode and I'm just tying to get a handle on a drop dead date when it has to be rewritten so I can report to management.Thanks |

| There have been no announcements that I'm aware of regarding the next major version of SQL Server. Probably info will start appearing after the launch of 2008 R2.--Gail ShawSQL Server MVP |
