In these pages, you'll find our Gold, Silver, and Bronze Editors' Best winners in each category directly adjacent to your Community Choice winners.

We let you nominate your favorite products and services, built the voting survey from there, and let everyone participate in the final voting phase. As for Community Choice, we followed the same process as in previous years by opening up the Community Choice nomination process to all. But we feel, as always, that this year's winners show an uncommon breadth of functionality and originality. Our editors always face a challenge when choosing their Editors' Best favorites from such a competitive and multifaceted field.

(View last year's winners at ' 2011 SQL Server Magazine Editors' Best and Community Choice Awards'). Our Editors' Best program highlights products that SQL Server Pro editors and contributors believe are worthy of recognition, whereas our Community Choice program lets readers like you decide which products are the best. Our annual SQL Server Pro Editors' Best and Community Choice award programs give us a unique way to recognize the hottest products on the market for the current year.
