Economic
Scalability

Optimized for Windows Server 2003 & 64 bit H/W

Great performance



Manageability

T-SQL code-compatibility with SQL Server 2000

8 node clustering support

Same on-disk format as 32-bit for easy migration
One setup for database & OLAP based on Windows
Installer technology
Compelling alternative to expensive Unix solutions

Cost Savings
Large memory addressability (up to 32 TB)
Nearly unlimited virtual memory (up to 8 TB)
I/O savings due to larger memory buffer pools

The highly scalable database platform for memory
intensive, performance-critical business applications
3
Dynamic Online Configuration

Most DB configuration is Dynamic



Memory added W/O restart or reboot



No longer requires a server restart
Only I/O Affinity remains static
Eliminates one cause of planned failover
Requires: Appropriate H/W & Windows Server
2003
Address Windowing Extensions (AWE)


Changes to physical size don’t require
downtime
 Dynamically configurable (Min / Max)
 Maximum limited by physical memory
 Dynamically adjusts to “hot-add” memory
Requires Windows Server 2003
4
Snapshot Isolation

New transaction isolation level


Increased Data Availability for read
dominated applications




Existing isolation levels unchanged
 Serializable, repeatable read, read
committed, & read uncommitted
Non-Blocking consistent reads in OLTP
environment
Writers don’t block readers
Readers don’t block writers
Allows writes, which can cause conflicts

Includes mandatory conflict detection
5
Online Index Operations

Online index operations now allow concurrent
modification of the underlying table or index


Online Index Maintenance





Updates, Inserts, Deletes
Create, Rebuild, Drop
Reorganize (including BLOBs)
Index-based constraints (PK, Unique)
Simple DDL for both Online/Offline operations
Updates incur some additional cost during an
online index operation

Maintains old & new indexes during maintenance
6
Fast Recovery
Restart or Restore

SQL Server 2000

Database is Available after Undo Completes
Redo

Yukon

Database is Available when Undo Begins

7
Database View

Read-only, consistent copy of a database



Unchanging as database is modified




Good for reporting state of DB at single point
in time
Supports fast primary DB rollback to view
 Correction of DBA or user/programmer
error
Fast & efficient
Copy-on-Write
Storage only required for DB changes
Can be created for any database
8
Database Mirroring

Database Failover – an Instant Standby





Hardware




Works with standard computers and storage
No shared storage components
Impact to transaction throughput


Very Fast … expect well under 8 seconds
Automatic or manual failover
Zero data loss
Automatic re-sync after failover
Zero to minimal
Automatic, transparent client redirect
Use ViewPoint to make mirror database a readable
reporting database

The Developer Experience
VB,C#,C++ VS .NET
Project
Build
Runtime
hosted by SQL
(in-proc)
Assembly:
“TaxLib.dll”
SQL Data Definition:
create assembly …
create function …
create procedure …
create trigger …
create type …
SQL Server
SQL Queries:
select sum(tax(sal,state))
from Emp
where county = ‘King’
13
.NET Integration
Key Theme: Choice & Control

Choice of where to run logic




Choice of programming language



Database, for logic that runs close to data
Mid-tier, for logic that scales out
