Now Live: SQL Server 2008 R2 Upgrade Guide 1/25/2011

The comprehensive “SQL Server 2008 R2 Upgrade Guide,” from Microsoft and a world-class Solid Quality Mentors author team, is now live at the SQL Server 2008 R2 Why Upgrade site.

The freely downloadable 15-chapter, 490-page guide carries on the rich tradition SolidQ began with the “SQL Server 2005 Upgrade Technical Reference Guide” to provide customers with the real-world information they need to make a smooth and successful move to a new SQL Server version. SolidQ also wrote the “SQL Server 2008 Upgrade Technical Reference Guide.”

Thanks to the leadership of Ron Talmage and the fantastic team of expert authors for this edition of the Upgrade Guide: Pablo Ahumada, Herbert Albert, Larry Barnes, Allan Hirt, Aaron Johal, Greg Low, Dejan Sarka, and Antonio Soto. And continuing thanks to those who contributed to the earlier editions of the Upgrade Guide on which this one is built.
