Enhanced Windows Server 2012 Integration

 SQL Server 2014 provides improved integration with Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server SQL Server 2014 will have the ability to scale up to 640 logical processors and 4TB of memory in a physical environment. It can scale up to 64 virtual processors and 1TB of memory when running on a virtual machine (VM). 1  SQL Server 2014 supports the OSs' new Storage Spaces feature. With Storage Spaces, you can create pools of tiered storage to improve application availability and performance. 1  SQL Server 2014 can take advantage of the OSs' Server Message Block (SMB) 3.0 enhancements to achieve high-performance database storage on Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2012 file shares. Many enhancements were made to SMB 3.0, with the most notable being SMB Transparent Failover and SMB Direct. The new SMB Transparent Failover feature provides highly reliable SMB storage that's fully supported for applications like SQL Server and Hyper-V. With the new SMB Direct feature, you can leverage the NIC's Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) feature to provide access speeds for SMB file shares nearing the access speed for local resources /10/2015SQL Server 2014, more than just in-memory14 |

Enhancements to Backups

 Backup to URL/SQL Azure  Backs up only to Azure BLOB storage /10/2015SQL Server 2014, more than just in-memory16 |

Enhancements to Backups  Backup to URL/SQL Azure /10/2015SQL Server 2014, more than just in-memory17 |

Enhancements to Backups  Encrypted backup  Multiple encryption algorithms up to AES 256 bit are supported giving you a variety of algorithms to choose from 1  Without a certificate or key the backup file cannot be restored.  Adding backup encryption to a TDE encrypted database, gives additional protection for your data.  Available in Standard, BI and Enterprise Editions /10/2015SQL Server 2014, more than just in-memory18 |

Enhancements to Backups  Encrypted backup code: /*STEP 1: Create a Master Key*/ USE master; CREATE MASTER KEY ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = '23987$KL95234nl0Bef'; /*STEP 2: Create a Certificate*/ Use master CREATE CERTIFICATE DB_BackupEncryptCert WITH SUBJECT = 'DB Backup Encryption Certificate'; /*STEP 3: Backup the Certificate*/ BACKUP CERTIFICATE DB_BackupEncryptCert TO FILE = 'C:\Database Files\Backup\BackupCert.cert' WITH PRIVATE KEY ( FILE = 'C:\Database Files\Backup\BackupCert.privatekey', ENCRYPTION BY PASSWORD = 'MyCertPassword-2014' ); GO /*STEP 4: Backup the DB*/ BACKUP DATABASE [AdventureWorks2014] TO DISK = N'C:\Database Files\Backup\AdventureWorks2014_encrypt.bak' WITH ENCRYPTION ( ALGORITHM = AES_256, SERVER CERTIFICATE = DB_BackupEncryptCert ), STATS = 10 GO I’ll Demo this later /10/2015SQL Server 2014, more than just in-memory19 |

Updateable Columnstore Indexes

 Introduced in SQL Server 2012  Limited to non-updateable non-clustered indexes, making it most useful on read-only tables  Microsoft claims that Columnstore indexes can provide upto a 10x performance gain 1  SQL Server 2014 eliminates the restriction on read-only index/table, allowing them to be updated. 1  Note a Columnstore index must use all the columns in a table and it can’t be combined with other indexes 1  SQL Server 2014 allows for a Clustered Columnstore index /10/2015SQL Server 2014, more than just in-memory29 |

Buffer Pool Extension

 Buffer pool extension provides the seamless integration of a nonvolatile random access memory (that is, solid- state drive) extension to the Database Engine buffer pool to significantly improve I/O throughput. 1  Available in Enterprise, Business Intelligence and Standard Editions 2  Reduces the need to add more DRAM /10/2015SQL Server 2014, more than just in-memory31 |

Buffer Pool Extension DEMO 10/10/2015SQL Server 2014, more than just in-memory34 |

Inline specification of Clustered and non-Clustered indexes

 Ability to move create index statements into the create table statement. CREATE TABLE [dbo].[t4] ( [c1] [INT] NULL, [c2] [INT] NULL, [c3] [INT] NULL ) ON [PRIMARY] GO CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX [ix_1] ON [dbo].[t4] ([c1] ASC,[c2] ASC) GO CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [ix_2] ON [dbo].[t4] ([c3] ASC) GO CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX [ix_3] ON [dbo].[t4] ( [c2] ASC,[c3] ASC) GO 10/10/2015SQL Server 2014, more than just in-memory36 |

Inline specification of Clustered and non-Clustered indexes  Ability to move create index statements into the create table statement. 1  Currently, inline indexes do not support the options UNIQUE, INCLUDE and WHERE. 2 CREATE TABLE [dbo].[t4] ( [c1] [INT] NULL, [c2] [INT] NULL, [c3] [INT] NULL, INDEX ix_1 CLUSTERED (c1,c2), INDEX ix_2 NONCLUSTERED (c3), INDEX ix_3 NONCLUSTERED (c2,c3) ) ON [PRIMARY] 1 1 BOL Itzik Ben-Gan /10/2015SQL Server 2014, more than just in-memory37 |

Partition Indexing Changes

 Prior to 2014 (2005+) you can rebuild specific partitioned indexes, but only in offline mode.  Starting in 2014, you can now rebuild partitioned indexes in ONLINE mode.  Requires partitions, which are an Enterprise only feature  ALTER INDEX ON REBUILD Partition = WITH (ONLINE = ON);  DEMO /10/2015SQL Server 2014, more than just in-memory39 |

Incremental Statistics

 Prior to 2014 (2005+) you can update statistics on an entire table or entire index 1  Starting in 2014, you can now update a specific partition  Requires partitions, which are an Enterprise only feature 1  UPDATE STATISTICS WITH INCREMENTAL=ON 1  UPDATE STATISTICS WITH RESAMPLE ON PARTITIONS(2) 1  Using RESAMPLE can result in a full-table scan. For example, statistics for indexes use a full-table scan for their sample rate. When none of the sample options (SAMPLE, FULLSCAN, RESAMPLE) are specified, the query optimizer samples the data and computes the sample size by default. 2  DEMO /10/2015SQL Server 2014, more than just in-memory41 |

Connect Any Database Permission

 New server level permission 1  Allows connection to all databases 1  Does not give any database level permissions (only allows connect) 2  Useful in auditing with SELECT ALL USER SECURABLES 2  DEMO /10/2015SQL Server 2014, more than just in-memory43 |

Select All User Securables

 New server level permission 1  Allows read access to all user databases 1  Does not give database level connection  Useful in auditing with CONNECT ANY DATABASE  DEMO /10/2015SQL Server 2014, more than just in-memory45 |

Resource governor IO

 Additional resource which can be controlled via Resource Governor 1  Still an Enterprise only feature  Ability to use settings MIN_IOPS_PER_VOLUME and MAX_IOPS_PER_VOLUME 1 USE master; GO CREATE RESOURCE POOL WITH ( MAX_IOPS_PER_VOLUME = 30, MIN_IOPS_PER_VOLUME = 1 ); GO /10/2015SQL Server 2014, more than just in-memory47 |

Resource governor IO  You can configure Maximum Outstanding IOPS per volume which is set at the instance Level and is not Resource Pool Specific  Limits maximum outstanding I/O operations per disk volume  Value: 0 – 100, value is number of queued I/O’s, not a percent.  Designed to tune IO resource governance to the IO characteristics of a disk volume. ALTER RESOURCE GOVERNOR … WITH ( MAX_OUTSTANDING_IO_PER_VOLUME = value) /10/2015SQL Server 2014, more than just in-memory48 |

SQL Server Data Files in Windows Azure

 SQL Server Data Files in Windows Azure enables native support for SQL Server database files stored as Windows Azure Blobs. 1  Works in all editions 1  This feature allows you to create a database in SQL Server running in on-premises or in a virtual machine in Windows Azure with a dedicated storage location for your data in Windows Azure Blob Storage /10/2015SQL Server 2014, more than just in-memory50 |

 Benefits  Easy and fast migration Simplifies the migration process by moving one database at a time between machines in on-premises as well as between on-premises and cloud environments without any application changes  Cost and limitless storage Limitless off-site storage in Windows Azure while leveraging on-premises compute resources  High availability and disaster recovery benefits If a virtual machine in Windows Azure or an instance of SQL Server crashes, you can re-create your databases in a new machine by just re- establishing links to Windows Azure Blobs  Security You can have a fully encrypted database with decryption only occurring on compute instance but not in a storage instance. In other words, using this new enhancement, you can encrypt all data in public cloud using Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) certificates, which are physically separated from the data /10/2015SQL Server 2014, more than just in-memory51 | SQL Server Data Files in Windows Azure
