SQL Server Code Name

Question – What is the code name of SQL Server 2008?

Well I knew that the Microsoft gives code names to it products when they are in developmental stages. But I never came across the code name for SQL Serves!

So I did some research on Net to find code name of all the SQL Server Release till date. They are listed below.

SQL Server 2008	Katmai / Akadia
