Seems like Microsoft just RTM-ed the GDR version of Visual Studio 2008 Database Edition. Although the name "GDR", which stands for "General Redistribution Release", implies otherwise, this really is a complete new release, based on a new architecture. We have taken the architectural changes from the Rosario project (Visual Studio Team System 2010) and rolled them forward in time. The coolest feature IMHO are: the Standalone Deployment Engine, which makes it possible to deploy the database schema on target databases that are not all up to date or are different...
