I'm going to bring out my anal attitude

Let us please not refer to MS' SQL Server as merely "SQL" - SQL is a technology, not a product - SQL is the technology used for database access in several products, including Oracle, mySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Sybase, and, oh yeah!!! DB2 on the i!!!

I know, lots of people thing only of SQL Server when using the term, SQL = woefully, IMHO.

OK - off my Sunday morning soapbox and off to church to repent!

it.

An application states that it requires SQL 2005 to run. Two questions
immediately come to mind:

1) Is SQL 2000 not mentioned because there is functionality in SQL 2005 that is
needed, or is SQL 2005 listed as a requirement solely due to the age of SQL
2000?

2) If there are new functions in SQL 2005 beyond what SQL offers, what are the
functions.

It is a long story why I am asking this.

Thanks.
