Joomla adopts Microsoft SQL Server

Joomla recently released version 2.5, which now includes multi-database support that covers the addition of Microsoft SQL Server and is no longer exclusively married to MySQL.

The new version includes 25 new features in an extensive CMS overhaul, which seeks to hurdle over both WordPress and Drupal as the world’s leading website creation and maintenance package.

By the way, for those of you who have not yet tried out installing or testing Joomla you can test drive their software.

One nice feature we confirmed in the new release is the ability to flag a new site as offline after installation.

This control is greatly appreciated, since there will always be instances when you do not wish unauthorized people to see the site before you have finished tweaking (or customizing) the Joomla install on affordable web hosting platforms such as Anhosting.
