Microsoft doesn't give DBAs much consideration with Katmai

"I just got a chance to poke around in the Katmai SSMS and I really hope it's not feature complete," Database underground author Sean McCown writes.

That's because a few of the little things, details that make or break a product release, some of those have been overlooked.

The job monitor, for starters, fails to remember refresh settings. Another, and one of several McCown has personally asked the Redmond tools guys for, is sharable snippets with nicknames. A third: undockable Windows. And the list goes on ...

"It just goes to show once again that MS really doesn't give DBAs much consideration," McCown writes in Talking to myself. "Anyway, I'm going to keep looking for DBA enhancements in the GUI and I'll report if I find anything that's actually easier than it was 10 yrs ago."
