Hmm long time ago, been really busy @ work and @ home ;)

Read about some interesting new features in SQL Server 2005.
- CTE
- CROSS/OUTER APPLY
- DELETE/UPDATE OUTPUT INTO
- INSERT WITH MERGE
- XPath Queries in XML columns
- Triggers on DDL
- ...

The list is long and very very interesting :(

I can hardly wait to use it but unfortunately the release will be around the end of the year and before companies start using it will take some time too. At home I will of course enjoy it to it's fullest :)
