Microsoft said it will deliver its much-anticipated SQL Server 2005 database by next summer and pushed back the timing of a third beta testing program.

Earlier in the year, Microsoft delayed the delivery of SQL Server 2005, code-named Yukon, from the end of this year to the first half of 2005. On Monday, the company sent a letter to beta testers, saying a final product will be available next summer.

A third beta program, which had been scheduled for the end of this year, will now start in the first quarter of next year, Microsoft Senior Vice President Paul Flessner told beta testers in the letter. A widely available second beta program began in July.

To help customers and developers prepare for the third beta program, Microsoft released on Monday a Community Technical Preview of SQL Server 2005, which is an interim delivery between the second and third beta versions.
