Lara Rubbelke, Microsoft SQL Server Community Principal Program Manager,
recently talked with PASS Marketing Vice President Rick Heiges about the changes
in editions and licensing for SQL Server 2012.
Rick: Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions Lara. Let’s get

Lara: We’ve streamlined SQL Server 2012 editions to better
align with how customers are deploying applications and solutions and are
releasing SQL Server 2012 in three main editions:
• Enterprise Edition – for mission-critical applications and large-scale data
warehousing
• Business Intelligence (BI) Edition – a new edition that provides premium
corporate and self-service BI
• Standard Edition – for basic database, reporting, and analytics capabilities.
Enterprise Edition will include all features available in SQL Server 2012, and
the BI Edition will include premium BI features as well as all of the Standard
Edition features.
