  • This is so misleading. Release date is for SQL Server code name Denali and not for SQL Server 2011.

    Hello
    Can someone help me with the question below:

    How do I install BOL 2011 without Microsoft SQL Server “Denali” (SQL 2011) is installed?

    Best regards,

    Hi,
    I follow this blog for the information it provides – great work guys for keeping this blog going.

    Now about this new version of MSSQL Server, would anyone know if the DB Connection Stream Provider has changed – it was the same in MSSQL 2008 and MSSQL 2008 R2.
    (Provider=SQLNCLI10)

    Kind regards,
    ME
