TechEd: Be more productive with SQL Server 2005 tools (DAT323)

One slide, and over an hour worth of demos.  The presentation was mostly aimed at DBA's, and it was evident in the presentation that they've taken all the SQL Server related tools to the next level.

All database services are nicely integrated into a single tool leveraging the power of the Visual Studio platform... very nice.  If you are using the XML Data Type, no more frustrations with trying to extract or visualize the xml, because that is built right in via hyperlink and xml editor.

Resizable dialogs!  It's about damn time.

Fantastic management capabilities that will help you track down, analyze, and fix problems such as blocked/blocking queries, running tasks against multiple SQL Services within a single job, maintenance plan creation/editing/viewing, database tuning advisement, and built database reporting.

Many other very cool features demonstrated as well.  To keep up with the lastest from the Microsoft team check out:
