Team Edition For Database Professionals

I got pretty excited when I came across this.  For all the back and forth about stored procedures / ad-hoc the thing that has been missing in the DBA world is a clean interface for DBAs with developers.  I currently use database projects to version my stored procedures, but it's not all that elegant or impressive of a solution.

It seems like this is going to be addressed!  It also allows for T-SQL unit testing which should be interesting.  If Microsoft successfully pulls this off, does the whole argument about business logic in the classes vs stored procedures go away?  Afterall, both a class and a stored proc exist as a file, and if they are now both in the solution and potentially you could "goto" the stored proc from the data layer code just like you could goto a class...

Food for thought.

Come on Eric.  You know this debate will never go away.  There are too many 'right fighters' in the world. :)  
That being said, I am with you.  I am really looking forward to the IDE.

The least it will do is provide (partly) the same toolset for dba's and developpers. Speaking a common language will (hopefully) bridge gaps and make people share (and not clearly divide) responsability.

I think the product looks nice, but if it's a choice of VS team edition for developers or that, I'll never see it.

I think it's yet another SKU gone bad:  The people and (and people at small companies)  that  must wear many hats are just the people that can not afford the "many hat" SKU.
