    How much longer will Microsoft support SQL 7.0 for?

    Do you have any ideal ?

    Mainstream support for SQL 7 ended in 2005. Extended support will end in 2011.

    Mainstream support for sQL 2000 ended in April this year and extended support will end in 2013

    Or it is not a question before the official launch of SQL 2008 ?

    SQL 2008 was officially launched 2 weeks ago, on the 6th Aug.

  • But what is "Extended support" ?

    Does it mean if we have had "Extened support" from Microsoft, we can still have Microsoft technical support services on our SQL 7.0 systems ?

    This is best described by MS itself on http://support.microsoft.com/gp/lifepolicy
