SQL 2005 Ready?

I need a gameplan from Microsoft regarding the tools provided with SQL 2005. I have customers wanting to switch (mainly for 64-bit, but other reasons), but my first attempt at upgrading to 2005 I uncovered serious bugs in SQL Management objects, SQL Management Studio, Script Generation and more. I can't even believe some of this stuff was even tested. The engine appears solid, but buggy tools and the inability to use tools from SQL 2000 that work make it hard for me to recommend such upgrades. Are there any hotfixes for these issues yet? What is the timeframe for a service pack to address these items?

Robert, Thank you for your honest feedback. Though It's difficult to address such general comments, I've provided my email address below for you to send me the specifics on the issues you hit. I'll do my best to respond to each one. To the best of my knowledge there have not been any hot fixes released for the areas you mentioned. We are working on the first service pack. The dates for the first service pack have not been released but I would expect you to hear more toward the end of January.

You can email me at dan.jones@microsoft.com

Thank you,

Dan Jones
