So you get a new CTP. How do you find out whats
changed?
Well the first port of call should be BOL. We are told that for Katmai, BOL
content will ship with the feature, which is good to know.
But what if you don't have BOL or you don't trust it. Well the system
resource database contains most features. So have a look at that.
I recently did this for a build of Katmai without BOL and was able to find
system procedures, functions and dmvs that were new.
I'm going to start a DataDude project on the resource database that way I can
easily track changes between releases.
So how do I look at the resource database. The easiest way is to copy the mdf
and ldf files in your data folder and then attach the database as another
name.
