Microsoft Corp. is planning a series of new releases for its SQL Server 2000 data management system this year ahead of its next major upgrade due in 2003.
These include an accelerated release of the 64-bit version of the SQL Server 2000 database, the general availability of the next release of SQL Server's mobile database and a third service pack to address such areas as security. The Redmond, Wash., software maker has pushed up its planned release of a 64-bit version of its SQL Server database to coincide with the release of the Windows .Net Server, Gordon Mangione, vice president of Microsoft's SQL Server Team told eWEEK during briefings here this week. The 64-bit version of SQL Server promises to up the ante in its ability to scale for larger enterprises.
