Dear SQLers:
I understand that SQL Server 2011 Express is in the works and its
alpha/beta/whatever can be downloaded. I have, once again, gotten
lost in microsoft.com trying to find the download. Does anyone have a
URL?
Sincerely,
Gene Wirchenko

Officially, it's not named SQL Server 2011 yet. Marketing may yet decide > I understand that SQL Server 2011 Express is in the works and its

that SQL Server Excelsior sounds better, though it's admittedly unlikely.
:-) Slightly more realistically, "SQL Server 2012" would still be a
possibility if something goes seriously wrong, though I can't imagine what.
AFAIK, there is no Express-version of Denali yet. My recollection may be
off, but I don't think Express-versions are actually released until RTM. The
CTP1 can be downloaded at
