You can get a much more complete answer by using google to find the answer. If you google this phrase:

"difference between sql server 2005 and sql server 2008"

The first two results returned will probably give you all the answers you require.

Tools Enhancements:

SQL Server Management Studio has the following improvements:

· In the Query Editor window, you can query multiple servers at the same time by opening query windows from registered server groups. The query results can be combined into a single results pane, or can be returned in separate results panes.

· You can access SQL Server Profiler from the Query Editor window, from the Query menu, the Query Editor toolbar, or by pressing CTRL+ALT+P.

· You can now open tables by using a Return Top n rows option.

· On the Tools/Option menu, you can specify the action that results by double-clicking tables in Object Explorer.



Transact-SQL Enhancements:


· Lock Escalation Option - A new LOCK_ESCALATION option of ALTER TABLE allows you to disable lock escalation on a table.

· Query Hints - Table hints can now be specified as query hints to provide advanced query performance tuning options.

· Hierarchyid Data Type - SQL Server 2008 introduces a new system-provided data type to encapsulate hierarchical relationships.

· User-Defined Table Type - The Database Engine introduces a new user-defined table type that supports representing table structures for use as parameters in stored procedures and functions, or in a batch or the body of a stored procedure or function.

· Compatibility Level - ALTER DATABASE SET COMPATIBILITY_LEVEL replaces sp_dbcmptlevel for setting the database compatibility level.

· GROUPING SETS - The GROUPING SETS, ROLLUP, and CUBE operators are added to the GROUP BY clause.

· Table Hints - The FORCESEEK table hint is added to provide advanced query performance tuning options.

· Transact-SQL Row Constructors - Transact-SQL is enhanced to allow multiple value inserts within a single INSERT statement.

What is it with retards like you that find long answered questions, and add answers they copy and paste from the web ? I assume you're just trolling for membership points to put on your otherwise barren resume ?
