Just hit report, and then submit it. No need to add comments. I'll figure it out.

I thought the next version of SQL was going to be 2011.

Not necessarily. No release date or name has been announced. The reason people have been referring to the next major version of SQL as SQL 11 is because @@version on SQL 2008 returns 10.0.xxxx. Hence, the logical deduction is that for the next major version, @@version will return 11.0.xxxx, hence calling it SQL 11 (and the one after SQL 12)

SQL 2008 R2 returns 10.5.xxxx

I just had an idea for an epic summer movie. It involves an intrepid group of DBA's and SQL Developers who get sent back to prehistoric times by a typo in the DBCC TIMEWARP parms.

And in the registry it'll be 110

That appears to be the current plan:

https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/387616/tables-node-does-not-show-all-schemas-in-ssmse-2008

The Microsoft comments refer to it as SQL11 with a planned release of 2011.

Apparently it's my turn to feel snippy. I couldn't resist.
IMO, it wasn't snippy at all. In fact, I might have sent them a lmgtfy link, instead of just suggesting google.

It's always a good idea to actually try Google first before making such a recommendation because there's nothing on this one.

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

No. I did that on purpose because I knew he'd either find too many posts or none at all. Hence my "when you're confused, refer to the below posts" comment.

Any stand-in for Raquel, male, female or other, must wear a fuzzy bikini. There are no other options.
