fustrating thought about microsoft sql 2005
31st March 2008
I have been working with MS SQL 2005 for some time. No matter how much I use it, I still prefer the MS SQL 2000 IDE. The 2005 one is just so much slower. I think Microsoft has really tried to make it fit the Visual Studio .Net IDE so much. I guess its not a bad thing but damn the program is a memory hog and works so much slower. I mean half the day as a developer you spend in SQL Server. So why would you want it to be so slow loading. I mean its just SQL Server that runs slow and of course the Visual Studio 2005/2008 IDE starts off slow but picks up after its fully loaded. I run these both on Dual Core 2.0, 4 gig ram, windows XP pro operating system.
I have also messed with both these IDEs on the same exact machine running Windows VISTA and i actually have noticed it runs better in Vista strange as Vista is even a bigger memory hog than Windows XP. Strange I tell you simply strange.
Anyone share this same experience between SQL2005 and SQL2000?
