In my last post, I asked some very pointed questions about the delivery of the new DBPro tools. Mostly I was concerned that these would only be available to customers willing to pay a premium. Matt Nunn commented on my questions, and I was so pleased with the reply, I wanted to bring more attention to it.
Wanted to comment on this blog. Visual Studio Team Edition for Database Professionals will be available for everyone, ther eis no need to have even Visual Studio prior to acquiring this ediiton, it will ship with everything needed to run it. We also integrate with any source control system that implements the SCCI interface, i.e. any source control system that can plug into the Visual Studio IDE, which is pretty much all of them.
Hope this sets the record straight and answers your questions and I encourage you to try the new edition when the CTP goes live on June 11th. You wil be able to download it for http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/teamsystem/dbpro and for this particular CTP you will need to download a trial version of either Team Suite or VS Pro (or have a full version already) but moving forward that will not be the case
Thanks Matt for clearing this up. My apologies for making some assumptions without asking the simple questions. Once again, Microsoft is taking care of the database community in Premium fashion.
