We are in the middle of our largest SQL Server in our stores upgrade right now. The DB is moving from a Win2003 Active/Passive cluster running on SQL2000. The new environment is all Win2008R2 and the db is an active/passive Win2008R2 cluster running SQL2008R2. It will be rolled out to all of our stores by July. Our other large SQL2000 Cluster has 25 dbs and two of them have been moved to another Win2008/SQL2008R2 Cluster with the others in the beginning stages of dev/test.

Other than that we have a handful of other smaller dbs in SQL2000 yet to convert. I expect 90% of those will be converted by June of next year.

We have about 250 SQL Server dbs here.

Based on the fact that our critical store apps dbs will be just fresh moved to SQL2008R2 this year I just don't see SQL2012 being a we need to upgrade to it in the next few years at all. I am sure we will have a few apps that we will upgrade in the coming few years that will require SQL2012. However, I just don't see us upgrading just because the new version is out.
