After weeks in the desert of no GP or SQL news, this week has been a freakin’ flood!
Now SQLSearchServer has a great series of articles on upgrading from SQL Server 2000 to 2005. I know, you’ve all done your upgrades. Right. Yeah. (For those of you who have trouble determining tone online, that was sarcasm.)
I opened up Upgrading to SQL Server 2005: A Dozen Must Have Tips thinking I was going to see another set of basic steps. What I found was that each tip has one or more good sized articles behind it with lots of detail.
While not GP centric, this is fantastic SQL Server 2005 resource including an article titled “10 Steps to Justify and Plan Your Upgrade“.

Archived post from 2007. Dynamics GP and the links it points to have changed since; check current documentation before relying on version-specific steps.
