Now, here is the dillema. You see, I (ahem, we ) don't have much idea on the new features of SQL 2005. Search for reference materials here in RP proved futile. So I am posting here, just in case you guys may have the time (and the technical knowledge of course ) to give me a helping hand.

Thanks in advance.

a good start to know the latest features of SQL 2005 is to read about the top 30 new features in SQL 2005

you can also look at this book(Microsoft SQL Server 2005 New Features) by Michael Otey which outlines the new features of SQL 2005. I suggest skirming the table of contents.

HTH :)

Knowing how the business goes in the Philippines, I doubt this will go on full blast.  This will probably kill the CPLS business
