This edition will be great, once microsoft finishes debugging it! Wait till some service packs come out before committing your critical data.
Management studio dialogs are too big to fit on the screen. I use 1024 x 768. Do they QA at all? I constantly have to resize the dialog to reach to ok button.
Editing the schema of large tables is not practical in management studio, since it uses temp tables to do every modification. Takes forever to complete, if it does n’t time out and roll back first. You have to turn off the timeout in the options by setting it to zero.
Better to write an alter table command by hand, it will be much faster.
Query Tuning wizard crashed and hung in memory as soon as i opened it.
Getting my linked server to work in SQL 2005 was a pain. It won’t work unless sql engine is running as local system. That is a security hole which i don’t like but don’t know how to fix.
Error messages are useless.
You need lots of memory for SQL. I have 2GB and it gladly uses up 1.5GB doing my queries, but that may be my query.
I would n’t put this in production until a few service packs come out.

I usually am pleased with Microsoft developement tools (documentation excepted). In this case, the ‘no support’ policy got me. The installation fails leaving me with bad options: Open a $100 email trouble case, Open a $250 telephone trouble case, plead with the volunteers at the help forum (no solution in 6 weeks) or reload to SQL Server 2000 Developer.

In my opinion great product. Except don’t get much more bang for your buck then if you just downloaded the free Express version and the free tools located on that same site. Similar features and best part doesn’t cost $50.
