This document summarizes new features in SQL Server 2008 for developers. It covers new data types like spatial, XML, and CLR types as well as features like table valued parameters, change tracking, and ADO.NET Entity Framework support. It also discusses enhancements to Integration Services, reporting services, and the core SQL Server engine.

SQL Server 2008 for Developers
- 1. What’s New for Developers in SQL Server 2008 Mike Taulty, Mike Ormond Developer & Platform Group Microsoft Ltd [email_address] ( http://www.mtaulty.com ) [email_address] ( http://www.mikeo.co.uk )
- 2. Agenda Relational++ New data types beyond the traditional RDBMS Data In, Data Out Information from Data Database Applications Core Capabilities & Tooling
- 3. Relational++
- 4. New Data Types FILESTREAM Extension to varbinary(max) Data is stored in the file system Access with file system API’s or relational API’s HIERARCHY ID Model the traditional employee/manager relationship New Date & Time data types DATE, TIME, DATETIMEOFFSET, DATETIME2 & functions to deal with them
- 5. XML Data Type Enhancements Improved schema validation support Supports validation of Office 12 documents Allows for lax content Unions of lists Lists of unions XQuery support FWOR finally becomes FLWOR (the let clause) Use of variables in .modify() operations
- 6. CLR Data Type Enhancements UDTs > 8K possible for CLR implementations Aggregates Multi-input aggregates now possible in CLR implementations Aggregates > 8K now possible in CLR implementations Sort order on CLR Table Valued Functions Today, SQL spools output from CLR TVF’s and then sorts them – often this is redundant
- 7. Data Types, XML, CLR
- 8. Spatial Data Proliferation of geographical data GPS Systems Virtual Earth, Live Search Maps etc New opportunities for spatially aware apps Route planning Land assessment Territory analysis SQL Server 2008 Storage and retrieval of spatial data using standard SQL syntax
- 9. Spatial Data Types Comprehensive Support Flat Earth (Planar) - geometry Round Earth (Geodetic) – geography CLR System Types Microsoft.SqlServer.Types .Geo[metry | graphy] Host of useful spatial methods / properties (OGC) Importing of WKT / WKB (OGC) and GML data High Performance Integrated into SQL 2008 Spatial Index support
- 10. Spatial Data in SQL 2008
- 11. Semi-Structured Additions Sparse columns Optimised storage for sparsely populated columns Wide Tables Support for hundreds of thousands of sparse columns Filtered Indexes Define indices over subsets of data in tables
- 12.

- 13. Data In, Data Out
- 14. SQL Server Integration Services New Script Environment for Script Tasks & Components VSTA replaces VSA (deprecated) C# language programmability More of the familiar VS environment ADO.NET Source and Destination OLEDB source/destinations still there Data Profiling Task & Viewer
- 15. SQL Server Integration Services Data Flow performance In 2005, an execution tree (even with branches) is executed on a single thread In 2008, this is handled differently (i.e. better ) Lookup Transformation Share cached lookup across packages More granular control over cache use for matched/non-matched data Additional changes elsewhere MERGE, Change Data Capture, Data Types, etc.
- 17. Tracking Changes Change Tracking Synchronous - when the DML is committed Detect net changes to data Tables/Rows effectively have a version # Good for building one- and two- way sync solutions Change Data Capture Asynchronous - reads transaction log Detect net and incremental changes to data Good for building one- way sync solutions
- 18. Change Tracking & Data Capture
- 19. MERGE DML statement combining multiple operations into one Merge source target match so UPDATE no match so INSERT no source match so DELETE
- 20. MERGE statement
- 21. ADO.NET Synchronisation Services Synchronisation Framework Online/Offline Applications 2-tier, N-tier architectures Set of components Sync Classes Client Database SQL Server Compact Edition Server Database Any ADO.NET store “ Service” Based Approach
- 22. ADO.NET Synchronisation Services Server Sync Provider Sync Agent Sync Adapters Client Sync Provider Sync Table Sync Group Client DB Server DB Transport Proxy Service
- 27. Reach All your Users with Scalable BI platform Deliver insights throughout your organization Deliver reports of any size at enterprise scale Scale out through read-only Analysis Services storage Enhance analytical capabilities with more complex computations and aggregations Deploy and manage your BI infrastructure Streamline development of the analysis infrastructure with new cube design tools Optimize cube design with real time best practice alerts Backup cubes with enhanced scalability Pervasive Insight
- 29. Client Library Support for Features Visual Studio 2008 ships with; .NET Framework V3.5 Support for most new SQL 2008 data types Support for table valued parameters Microsoft Synchronization Services SQL Server 2008 ships with; Client library support for some new data types; Microsoft.SqlServer.Types.dll (SqlGeometry, SqlHierarchyId) ADO.NET V3.0 Entity Framework, Data Services ship separately
- 30. Table Valued Parameters Stored procedures and functions can now take a table as a parameter Passing “arrays” of data to the server in one go Often done in the past with XML, strings Mechanism Declare table type server side Define parameter to be of table type New ADO.NET parameter type SqlDbType.Structured Pass DataTable, IEnumerable<SqlDataRecord>, DbDataReader into ADO.NET client side
- 32. ADO.NET Entity Framework .NET Entity Provider (Entity SQL) Command Connection Reader Adapter V3.0 Store .NET Data Provider V2.0 Command Connection Reader Adapter V3.0 Conceptual Model Entity Entity relationship Store Model (SSDL) ER Model (CSDL) Mapping (MSL) V3.0 Programming Model Object Relational Mapping LINQ
- 33. ADO.NET Entity Framework Schema independence Store independence Higher level constructs Relationships Inheritance Status At Beta 2 Today Tooling at CTP 1 Store .NET Provider V2.0 Conceptual Model .NET Provider (EntitySQL) ORM & LINQ V3.0 Mapping
- 35. ADO.NET Data Services (“Astoria”) Flexible data services for the web URI addressable resources (RESTful) Simple data formats (XML / JSON) Modelling of data with EDM CRUD operations support HTML + Javascript Data (XML, JSON) DLL + XAML Data (XML, JSON) Data (XML, JSON) Mashup UI Data Feeds
- 36. Astoria URI Format Data Service URL (special WCF service) Entity Set Name (eg Customers) Optional Predicate Navigation Property (eg Orders) Optional Predicate Querystring Options (eg orderby) http://localhost/service.svc/Customers[ALFKI]/Orders?$orderby=City
- 39. Resource Governor Dynamically monitors & controls access to server resources request Resource Pool 1 Resource Pool 2 Workload Group 1 Workload Group 2 MIN, MAX CPU MIN, MAX RAM MIN, MAX CPU MIN, MAX RAM Workload Group 3 Workload Group 1 Priority Max Request Memory Max Request CPU Time Max DOP Max Requests classify()
- 41. Guiding Procedure Execution More control & visibility of stored procedure execution to aid predictable execution sp_create_plan_guide accepts XML Showplan output sp_create_plan_guide_from_cache sys.fn_validate_plan_guide Plan guides visibile in Management Studio Monitoring Events – Plan Guide (Un)Successful Counters – (Mis)Guided Plan Executions/Sec on SQL Statistics object
- 43. Performance Studio Unified framework for capturing “metrics” from SQL Server schedule Interfaces Mgmt Studio S’procs API Dashboard UI post SQL 2008 Data Collector Collection Set Collection Set Collection Set Collection Item Collection Item Collection Item Counter, SQL trace or SQL query
- 44. Data Collector
- 45. Extended Events (XEvent) High performance eventing system for SQL Integrates with Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) Possibility of end-to-end tracing DDL for managing event sessions on a server “ When” to log Where to send it Data to log Filters
- 46. Extended Events
- 47. Auditing (not in current CTP) Written to files or event logs Server level auditing Login, Logoff, Create DB, etc. (many) Database level auditing Changes to Users, Roles, Schema, etc. (many) Granular level auditing CRUD + EXECUTE on tables, views, procedures, etc. AUDIT UPDATE ON Employee [BY User1]
- 48. Platform Enhancements Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) Encrypt my data on disk transparent to applications Database Compression (not in CTP5) ROW / PAGE Compression Integrated Full Text Search (not in CTP5) Easier to deploy / manage and better performance Declarative Management Framework Establish policies for monitoring or compliance
