Live from Tech Ed – Support for DB2

Posted on June 3, 2008 by Jeff Levinson

Bill Gates, at the Keynote for Tech Ed 2008 Developers conference announced support for DB2 within Visual Studio Team System Database Edition in an upcoming release. The date for this was not announced but it will be shortly! Stay tuned for more on this development. Essentially what this means is that DB Pros is no longer locked into just SQL Server but it will be extensible after the next updated! WHOOHOOOO!

    I also hear that the Database Publishing Wizard from the SQL Server Hosting Toolkit will now be part of Visual Studio 2008 … would love to hear more about this, too.
