What are Microsofts plans for supporting Microsoft SQL Server on MSCS clusters?
Microsoft SQL Server, Enterprise Edition version 6.5 is available now and provides “active/active” cluster support (for example, both servers can be running SQL Server, with each server supporting its own databases). Microsoft SQL Server 7.0, currently in beta test, will include additional cluster-aware enhancements that provide for faster recovery in the event of a server or application failure. The version of Microsoft SQL Server that follows release 7.0 will include new features for shared-nothing scalability on MSCS clusters (for example, a single database will be able to span multiple servers).
