The biggest highlight of the new version is the table-level memory OLTP (On-Line Transaction Processing, online Transaction Processing system) and real-time big data analysis.

Quentin Clark, vice president of Microsoft enterprise responsible for the project, said that the memory OLTP originated from the Hekaton that Microsoft has used for many years. Hekaton is a fully in-memory transactional database engine, this project will be fully included in SQL Server 2014,In terms of performance, it is 50 times higher than the current standard SQL Server..

SQL Server function evolution

Clark also said that Microsoft will provide Heakaton memory OLTP in the SQL Server box. for users, "In the box" means that users do not need to purchase specialized software/hardware support, you can use the memory OLTP function in the project.

Another highlight of this version is the capability of the hybrid cloud platform, which claims to simplify cloud backup and disaster recovery by backing up to Azure and connecting to Azure at any time, in addition, it is easy to migrate automatically deployed SQL servers to Azure virtual machines.

In actual development, the SQL Server team will continue to invest in R & D and investment in columnstore performance and data compression. Currently, column store has been rooted in BI services and Excel tools for faster business observation.
