sql server dts: Hi,

CTP means - Community Technology Preview. This allows active customer
feedback to drive final updates and routine fixes
delivered in this service pack. The program will provide pre-release builds
of Vista to interested customers and developers
throughout the beta program. CTP builds will be available to MSDN and
TechNet subscribers and technical
beta program testers. Microsoft has plans to update the CTP at least once a
month - a level of access never
offered before in past Windows beta tests.

Thanks

Yes, that is a beta of SQL Server 2005. There was a beta 1, and instead of releasing a beta 2, MS
decided to release more incremental steps, called CTP. But to be clear, your CD is *not* the release
version of SQL Server 2005.

I do not recommend using a pre-release since the produce has been released for almost a year not.
And definitely not using it in production (which isn't legal).
