I am interested to know whether SQL Server 2005 supports Procedure Variable and View Variable similar to that of Table Variable used in SQL Server 2000 Madhivanan Failing to plan is Planning to fail
No answers Well. Where do I find the major differences between SQL Server 2000 and 2005? Madhivanan Failing to plan is Planning to fail
I would probably start herehttp://www.microsoft.com/sql/2005/productinfo/overview.mspx or download the 2005 BOL. Frankly, I don't know the answer. -- Frank Kalis Microsoft SQL Server MVP http://www.insidesql.de Ich unterstütze PASS Deutschland e.V. http://www.sqlpass.de)

You must have SQL 2005 CTP installed to have the 2005 books online, so take your chances. Satya SKJ Moderator http://www.SQL-Server-Performance.Com/forum This posting is provided “AS IS†with no rights for the sake of knowledge sharing.
I think you only need to have the 2.0 framework.... [?] -- Frank Kalis Microsoft SQL Server MVP http://www.insidesql.de Ich unterstütze PASS Deutschland e.V. http://www.sqlpass.de)
That is essential, but still few links and subjects will not work until you have the CTP installed. I tried on my project laptop exclusively BOL but without CTP it couldn't work.

Short summary of some new stuff TSQL Common Table expression Really useful for handling Tree like Data structure Navigate top down, Bottom up, Stop at some level, get the node information..etc ROWNum Ranking/Dense Rank funtions Pivot/Unpivot Very good to pivot and unpivot the data ( as we use in excel) OUTPUT command in UPDATE/DELETE statements Used to store old and new data. Same like deleted and inserted tables we use in trigger to hold old and new data But, there is a limitation, If you Update Huge volume,the system goes for a toss. Service Broker Used for messaging,queue..etc .net Integration Very good one. Create funtions, datatypes, procedures in .net and use in YUKON Simple steps..create assembly in .net, Import assembly in YUKON , use it.. XML Store your xml data as a column, query it, Use in where clause..etc Database Mirroring Templates
Some more to add.... Snapshot Isolation Two updates at the same time to same data... Non Clustered Indexes I heard that apart from columns which we use for indexing, you can store other columns also along with the index keys, But they will not be part of the index.. I may be wrong..but has to verify.
Thanks for the information [<img src='/community/emoticons/emotion-1.gif' alt='' />]<br /><br />Madhivanan<br /><br />Failing to plan is Planning to fail
