This is an analysis of SQL Server's search popularity within Google; looking at the last four versions as of 4th April 2008.

Interestingly SQL 2005 took over SQL 2000s top search baton in Q4 2006. A full year after its release. Will we see the same with 2008? With the delayed launch, there may be more interest in 2008. Time will tell.

Rank       Version
1             SQL 2005
2             SQL 2000
3             SQL 2008
4             SQL 7
