SQL Server 2025 is in public preview

Microsoft announce that SQL Server 2025 is now in public preview. There’s not much news on the licensing, apart from the introduction of SQL Server 2025 Standard Developer Edition. The Developer Edition has long been based on SQL Server Enterprise and this new edition will enable developers to test their apps that will use Standard edition in production. It will continue to be a free edition for dev and test purposes.
