Just a day ago, while I was discussing one of the project with another outsourcing team lead in India (who is leading team of 100+ programmer and developer) he asked me if I know all the codenames of the SQL Server releases so far. I knew only two code names SQL Server 2005 – Yukon and SQL Server 2008 – Katmai. Once our meeting was over, I could not stop thinking about this question. I search online and very easily I found answer to this question on wikipedia.
- 1993 – SQL Server 4.21 for Windows NT
- 1995 – SQL Server 6.0, codenamed SQL95
- 1996 – SQL Server 6.5, codenamed Hydra

- Next release – SQL Server 2008, codenamed Katmai (version 10.0)
