    It's interesting, a Google search does not return any useful info. Apparently Microsoft has pulled anything abut 2005. Another reason to upgrade I suppose.

    All I can say is, give it a try. The installer will alert you if the version of SQL you are trying to install is not supported or if there are "known compatibility issues."

    "I cant stress enough the importance of switching from a sequential files mindset to set-based thinking. After you make the switch, you can spend your time tuning and optimizing your queries instead of maintaining lengthy, poor-performing code."
