    1.3 Uninstalling SQL Server 2005 SP2

    Once SQL Server 2005 SP2 has been applied, it cannot be removed without uninstalling the entire product.

    -- You can never go back!

    3.2.5 Upgrading an Instance of SQL Server to another Edition

    After you apply SP2 to an instance of SQL Server 2005, you will not be able to upgrade to another edition of SQL Server 2005. To upgrade an instance of SQL Server to another edition, you must perform the edition upgrade before you apply SP2. However, you can upgrade SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP2 to SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services SP2.

    -- You want to upgrade from developer to enterprise? Too bad, so sad.

    Not sure what the rationale is for 3.2.5. I don't recall this being the case before.

  • Does anyone know when Microsoft are going to release SQL Server 2005 SP2?
