Microsoft has released the upcoming version of SQL Server,
SQL Server 2011 code-name
SQL Server Denali CTP1 (Community Technology Preview 1) for SQL Server database professional, SQL Server database administrators and developers.
The
MS SQL Server 2011 release date of first CTP, CTP1 is 8th of November, 2010.
We can expect the next CTP within 3 months time. And a similar timing schedule is leading me to expect the
MS SQL Server 2011 release date of RTM version at the end of 2011.
You can find the
MS SQL Server 2011 download link at
Microsoft Downloads
After you download Microsoft SQL Server 2011 CTP1 from Microsoft Downloads and install SQL Server 2011, to see what is new in SQL Server 2011 and work with samples, you can also
download SQL Server 2011 sample databases and AdventureWorks sample database for SQL2011.
You will find more information about
next version of SQL Server, MS SQL Server 2011 or SQL Server Denali at
