SQL Server 2014 CTP2 was announced quite a while ago. I still see very few people working on it or writing about it. There can be many reasons for not attempting to start with SQL Server 2014 but the reality is that it is coming in the next few months and it will be here before we know it. Today is December 1, 2013 and in one month we will be in the year 2014. SQL Server 2014’s release cycle will announce its GA very soon and if we have not started with SQL Server 2014 we will be a bit late for sure.
