Created Release: sql nexus 2.5.0.5 (Aug 11, 2008)

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 17:54:30 GMT

this release fixed three things
1) added text rowsetimport engine that wasn't included in 2.5.0.4
2) added version logging for reporter.exe (readtrace integration)
3) added an option to enable or disable MARS using readtrace (this was turned on by default before. it can cause 0 appended to spids when readtrace does trace importing. for servers that don't use MARS, this can be confusing)
