Because SQL Server 2000 lacks some high-end performance, it is considered a 90-pound little. In fact, no strong person can accomplish every feat, and no company needs every high-end feature. For years, many large and small businesses have been using SQL Server to run their company business. While Microsoft SQL Server 2005, which has been fully modified, has brought many powerful new features and a new batch of tools, SQL Server is becoming powerful.
Admittedly, SQL Server is always inferior to Oracle databases when it comes to real enterprise features, especially in terms of high-availability and disaster recovery. Oracle is able to meet 24x7 business-critical operations with features such as online rebuild indexing, log shipping based on snapshot recovery, and failover, and SQL Server cannot provide real 0 data loss without the help of a third-party solution. For customers who do not need these protections, SQL Server provides a reliable and stable database with a low licensing fee. However, the maintenance-related downtime is an indisputable fact.
Now, this situation has changed. After more than five years of modification, SQL Server 2005 not only overcomes the drawbacks of high availability and disaster recovery, but also has a comprehensive improvement in almost every way: management tasks are simplified, monitoring and diagnostics are enhanced, and the default locking configuration, data encryption, and other new features enhance security. Today, Analysis Services, Report services (Reporting Services), and data Mining (information Mining) are fully integrated and mature. Data Transformation Services (DTS) has been rewritten from beginning to end, becoming a more powerful and flexible SQL Server Integration Service (SSIS). Integration with Visual Studio and. Net/clr, the internal mechanisms of SQL Server are presented to. NET developers, and the internal mechanisms of. NET are presented to SQL developers. This means that it can be exploited now. NET, which can be used in storage procedure, data flow and data transformation, business intelligence and other applications.
SQL Server 2005 also promises to improve performance. In addition to having database administrators partition the database and load-balancing, Microsoft has done a lot to improve memory management, indexing strategy, and query optimization. The user will see this difference.
