With Microsoft™ SQL Server, Microsoft™ officially threw its hat into the database management ring. The current version of Microsoft™ SQL Server (which as of this writing is Microsoft™ SQL Server 2008), aims to make data management self–tuning, self–organizing and self–maintaining. In addition, with the development of SQL Server “Always On” technologies, Microsoft™ hopes to provide near–zero downtime.

Microsoft™ SQL Server 2008 includes support for structured and semi–structured data, including digital media formats for pictures, audio, video and other multimedia data. In current versions, such multimedia data can be stored as BLOBs (binary large objects), but they are generic bit–streams. Intrinsic awareness of multimedia data will then allow specialized functions to be performed on them. According to Microsoft™ Corp., Microsoft™ SQL Server 2008 can be a data storage backend for different varieties of data: XML, email, time/calendar, file, document, spatial, etc. It can also perform search, query, analysis, sharing and synchronization across all data types.

Microsoft™ SQL Server has been touted as one of the more affordable database management system solutions, and the latest iteration of Microsoft™ SQL Server 2008 R2 shows increased performance in scalability. While perhaps not the best solution for database warehouses exceeding 20 terrabytes, Microsoft™ SQL Server is a reliable and low–cost alternative that seems to improve with each version.

DTM has had the opportunity to work with Microsoft™ SQL Server for a wide range of clients and projects. As custom solution developers, the majority of our work with Microsoft™ SQL Server has involved performing maintenance, functionality tweaks, fixes, feature enhancements and sub application feeds for established, or newly created, Microsoft™ SQL Server deployed solutions.

SQL Server 2008 R2 delivers several breakthrough capabilities that will enable your organization to scale database operations with confidence, improve IT and developer efficiency, and enable highly scalable and well managed Business Intelligence on a self-service basis for your users.
