Greetings,

I'm looking for a scheduled release date for Service Pack 2 for SQL Server
2005.

Thanks,

MS do not decide on such dates. The official response is "when it is ready". It is in RC2 now, so
based on that, we can *guess* that it might be 1.5-2 months away, but nobody knows.

There is no such thing.

The release date will be largely based, I would guess, on how much
[negative] feedback is obtained from the SP2 CTP. Which you can download,
kick the tires, and report any problems at connect.microsoft.com:

http://www.microsoft.com/sql/ctp.mspx

Other than that, as Tibor mentioned, we can guess, but there are no
announced dates, because it is not based on a date, but rather WHEN IT'S
READY.

At the keynote at PASS, Paul Flessner I believe stated that SP2 would likely
be out in "early Q1." Of course that is not an official announcement, and
it really could mean anytime between January 1st and March 31st. Or later,
if it's simply not ready.
