Have SQL server 2017 officially released or not?
From Microsoft site, I can see there is SQL server 2017, but not sure if it is officially realeased or not?
Any way I can know that?
Thanks

October 2nd. I would paste a link, but I SSC and phones don't mix. Simply Googling SQL Server 2017 yields lots of results.

Thanks, I did google and a lot of results.
But no one seems telling when is the release date, or is it already released or not?

Thanks

Thank you, that is clearly stated in this document.

But in Microsoft site and most of articles it is hard to find this info.

Thanks

I didn't see it either which I was I gave you that other link. On the 2017 main page, click on the Try It Now button and then read the fine print in the middle of the page - just below the 2016 download links. Right there is the smallest font on the page - like they are trying to hide it or something. 🙂
I would have expected it to be on the main page too.

Yup it's on the downloads page but SQLFriends was referring to the main page that comes up on a search using SQL Server 2017. That is the second page I referred to - click the try it now button and you go to the downloads page where the tiny print about the release date for 2017.
The main first page is here - not the downloads page:
SQL Server 2017 on Windows and Linux

That link above is the link to http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-server/sql-server-2017

Thanks for that. I thought it was just me.
