Has anyone heard if Microsoft is planning on retiring (or phasing out support of) Sql Server 7?
It appears it's been phased out of MSDN, I was hoping to be able to download it(discs w/ 7 on it are long gone), but can't seem to be able to anymore. So was wondering if there was any timetable for their support of 7?

My understanding is they support current version plus one version back (MSDN does not apply this). This is how they handle OSs and most all other items.

Take this with a grain of salt but I thought I saw on the Microsoft website that SQL Server 7 support will end 12/05. You should really be working on moving to SQL 2000.

Yes, thanks, it is 12/05, although they'll support using their extended support (or something like that) for another year or so after that, found it on microsoft's website late yesterday.
For our internal databases we are on 2000, but we are a software development company, so we need our product to be compatible w/ both.

OK, do you remember the link to the place on Microsofts Web site that shows that type of information ?
