Important
The book and its sample code were written for, and tested against, the initial Release To Manufacturing (RTM) version of SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition. At press time, Microsoft had just released Service Pack 1 (SP1) of SQL Server 2005. Some of the book’s sample code has been tested against SP1 and some of the text has been explicitly verified against it, but an exhaustive check of the book and its code was not feasible, given the near simultaneous release of SP1 and the book.

SP1 consists primarily of a combination of bug fixes to the RTM version of SQL Server 2005, as well as the commercial release of the SQL Server 2005 database mirroring functionality, which is not covered in this book. As such, we expect that very little, if any, content or sample code in the book will be incompatible with SP1.

If and when we discover any such incompatibilities, however, our intent is to update the sample code and post errata notes to this Web page. Please monitor this page for new code updates and errata postings. You might also want to visit http://spaces.msn.com/PSS2005CUpdt, where we will post, in blog form, announcements about any such updates. For those of you who use RSS readers, you can subscribe to this blog’s RSS feed at http://spaces.msn.com/PSS2005CUpdt/feed.rss. SP1, its documentation, and a corresponding update to SQL Server 2005 Books Online can be downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/sql/sp1.mspx.

Installing the Code Samples
After you download the code samples file to your computer, run the installer and follow the instructions that appear.

Uninstalling the Code Samples
To remove the code samples from your computer, make the appropriate selection from Add Or Remove Programs in Windows Control Panel.
