An early Xmas present for SQL 2005 users

On Friday Microsoft release Service Pack 4 for SQL Server 2005 (for SQL Express see here and other 2005 editions see here). Although this is a nice early Christmas present remember that the Three Wise Men didn’t arrive until January 6th! If you want to have a Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year, take a tip from the Maji and don't rush a release out before Xmas and make sure that you test it thoroughly first!
