What happened with SQL English query?

SQL Server 2000 was deployed with English Query. At that time, I was young and new to SQL so I skipped that chapter. Now after years, there is again an idea of making a logical program which can understand simple user questions.

Is there any alternative to that? Where is English Query now?

Best regards,

Admir

Too bad, because when you got it set up right it was very cool! I saw a demo of with hooked up with speech recognition and media player --- the presenter said "what is the first song on the last album by the artist who sang start me up. Play it!" Perhaps not great in the so-called real world, but big wow factor on an exibit hall.

+4 A:

English query not part of SQL Server since version 2005.

English Query is unfortunately not available in Microsoft SQL Server 2005. You can, however, use a SQL Server 2005 license to install a copy of SQL Server 2000 and use English Query against a SQL Server 2005 database. Speak with your Microsoft representative about the licensing implications for English Query.

Though it's not the same thing, Full Text Search is the closest thing to "English Query" that exists in SQL 2005+.
