Выпущен декабрьский CTP пакета обновлений SP2 для SQL Server 2005
Всех с наступившим Новым Годом и Рождеством!
После праздников можно и о работе немного: вышел декабрьский CTP пакета обновлений SP2 для SQL 2005.
Коротко о том, что в SP2 (и в этом CTP тоже):
Driving Innovation:
§ Support for the upcoming Windows Vista.
§ Data Mining Add-Ins for Office 2007, which enables data mining functionality from SSAS to be used directly within Excel 2007 and Visio 2007.
§ SSRS integration with MOSS 2007, which allows integration with the Report Center in SharePoint providing seamless consumption and management of SSRS reports within SharePoint.
§ SSAS improvements for Excel 2007 and Excel Services relating to performance and functionality.
Heterogeneous Environments (Interoperability):
§ Oracle Support in Report Builder. Users will now be able to use Report Builder on top of Oracle data sources.
§ Hyperion support with SSRS. Organizations will now be able to use SSRS to build reports on top of Hyperion Essbase cubes.
Performance/Enterprise:
§ Data compression (varDecimal), which is important for data warehouse scenarios and is specifically important for SAP BW scenarios. This requires less disk storage of decimal data which increases overall performance.
§ Manageability enhancements. Based on customer feedback, SQL Server provides enhanced management capabilities for DBAs such as improvements in database maintenance plans, enhanced management reports and a new copy database wizard.
SQL Server Express Edition
§ Management reports have been added to SQL Server Express Edition enabling customers to get insights into the performance of their Express Edition and SQL Server Compact Edition databases.
§ SQL Server Management Studio Express Edition now enables management of SQL Server Compact Edition databases.
