Lock Pages in Memory on x64 Standard

All,

I have a new database server running W2K3/MSSQL2K5 x64. I read in BOL that you can use the Lock Pages in Memory option to improve performance on your database server. I did some research on the internet and some sources are stating that you can only use that option with MSSQL2K5 Enterprise but in BOL they state that you can use this option in Standard/Enterprise.

Can anyone confirm that "Lock Pages in Memory on x64 Standard" works in MSSQL2K5 Standard?

Thanks in advance for the help.As far as I understand this, it is available on 32-bit systems with AWE and on 64-bit systems. The three versions supporting this feature is thus Standard, Enterprise and Developer.

Localization of Reports

Are there any plans to improve the process of localizing reports? for example, it would be nice to extend the RDL schema to include a section for resource strings and localization information.

Thanks

This is very high on our wish list. Unfortunately, it will most likely not make it in Katmai.

Hi Brian,

Sorry to hear that we won't see this functionality in Katmai. Should we start a campaign and try to get it into Katmai J?

Given we have to deal with this reality for a while, what is the best approach to localize reports. We know about the recommendation in http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156493.aspx and http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa964130.aspx.

We have 100’s of reports and we don’t want to make sacrifice performance, if possible.

Thanks
