Description

The following versions of the SQL Server database platform are supported:

  • SQL Server 2008 64-Bit Enterprise

  • SQL Server 2008 64-Bit Standard

  • SQL Server 2008 64-Bit Enterprise SP1

  • SQL Server 2008 64-Bit Standard SP1

  • SQL Server 2008 64-Bit Enterprise SP2

  • SQL Server 2008 64-Bit Standard SP2

  • SQL Server 2008 R2 64-Bit Enterprise

  • SQL Server 2008 R2 64-Bit Standard

  • SQL Server 2008 R2 64-Bit Datacenter
