Edward,

I haven't really gotten a chance to dig into the guide yet, but kudos to the entire team that contributed to it! Just glancing at the TOC, it looks to be an excellent guide and a great read for all of us!!

|||Having just finished reading the SSAS 2005 Performance Guide in preparation for a large incoming BI project, I consider this guide to be technically indispensable as well as exceptionally readable -- a rare combo! Lastly, it reinforces the sophistication of AS 2005. Well done to the author and subject matter experts!|||

I noticed in the document that it applies to Sql Server 2005 - SP2.

When is SP2 going to be released?

There is a lot of great information in the guide that I am sure applies to SP1 as well, but what in it is SP2 specific?

Thanks,

Wino.

You will see SP2 release pretty soon :)

Meantime you can try to install CTP of SP2 from http://www.microsoft.com/sql/ctp.mspx

|||What a wonderful document. I have been craving something like this ever since getting started with Analysis Services. This is better than any book / articles I have read about the "guts" of AS. Thank you so much!
