SQL Server 2005
• New Version of SQL Server
–
–
–
–
Planned to be deliver in 2nd half of 2005 (with crossed fingers)
More than just .NET integration
All features noted here are valid in Beta 2
MS can pull/add features at any time though
• What didn’t make it
– No row-level security (boo…hiss)
– New temporal datatypes (Date, Time, UDT Time)
Engine Enhancements
• New DataTypes
– XML Datatype
– CLR DataTypes
Engine Enhancements (2)
• T-SQL Changes
– New Exception Handling (TRY…CATCH)
– Changes to TOP syntax
• Including calculated TOP numbers and use in UPDATE and DELETE
– Common Table Expressions (CTE)
• Clearer way to make local Temp Tables and recursive queries
– New APPLY clause
• Allows a table-valued function to be called on all rows of a table
– New Security Context
• E.g. CREATE PROC spRunMe WITH EXECUTE AS OWNER
– DDL Triggers
• Allows CREATE/ALTER/DROP commands
Engine Enhancements (3)
• Data Storage Changes
– Materialized Views
• Allows Custered Indexes on Views to pre-compute a view
–
–
–
–
Persisted Computed Columns
Unified Large Object Types (e.g. varchar(max) instead of text)
Added ALTER INDEX
Non-Key columns can be added to indexes (partially clustered)
Engine Enhancements (4)
• Full-Text Engine
– Now has DDL statements
• e.g. CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX …
–
–
–
–
Can backup and restore catalogs
Can include catalogs in attach/detaching of databases
Supports Internationalization
New Thesaurus support
Engine Enhancements (5)
• Other engine changes:
– MARS Support (multiple resultsets from a single connection)
– HTTP SOAP Access through new ENDPOINTS
• Like SQL XML but supported through DDL statements
– Database Mirroring
• Way to handle fail-over without clustering
– Support for Catalog Views
• Can now query TABLES, VIEWS, INDEXES, etc.
• Supports backward compatible sys.systables, but is depreciated
CLR Integration
• Consists of two pieces:
– Managed Code
– Managed Types
– Improved Hosting Environment
• Hosting was created for an ASP.NET environment
• SQL Server’s requirements are completely opposite
CLR Integration
• Managed Code
– Stored Procedures/Functions
class Foo {
public static void Method1() {
}
}
CREATE ASSEMBLY Utilities
FROM ‘C:\assemblies\utilities.dll’
CREATE PROCEDURE Method1
AS EXTERNAL NAME Utils:Foo::Method1
exec Utils:Foo::Method1
CLR Integration (2)
• Other Managed Code
– Managed Triggers
• Can be managed code like sprocs and functions
– Custom Aggregates
• Managed Code that aggregate rows in different ways
• Finally a way to write your own MAX, AVG, etc. aggregates
In Proc Managed Provider
• SQL Server Managed Provider for Managed Code
– Used inside the Server for access to data:
//using System.Data.SqlServer;
SqlConnection conn = SqlContext.GetConnection()
SqlCommand cmd = conn.CreateCommand();
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT * from authors";
SqlDataReader r = cmd.ExecuteReader();
while (r.Read()) {
Console.WriteLine("{0} ", r["au_lname"]);
}
r.Close();
CLR Datatypes
• Can store .NET Types in database tables
– Information can be indexed
– Lots of limitations
•
•
•
•
•
•
Must support the concept of NULL.
Must support conversion to and from a string representation.
Must define the mechanism with which its state is serialized.
Must have a default (parameterless) constructor.
Must conform to SQL Naming rules (128 character maximum).
Cannot be more than 8K in size.
XML Changes
• FOR XML Changes
– Now Supports XSD
– Can return new XML datatype
– More support for handling of nulls in XML creation
XML Changes (2)
• XML Datatype
– Allowed for local variables as well as column types
– Supports XPath/XQuery searches
– Supports in-line modification of XML documents
• No need to get entire document just to add/delete/modify an element
– Support multiple types of XML Indexes
• By Path, node name or property names
XML Changes (3)
• Supports Typed XML
– Supports specifying an XSD as an XML type
– Will validate XSD on storing XML data in tables
– Not as memory restrictive as CLR Types (can be over 8K)
Service Broker
• Reliable Messaging System inside the Database
– Built-in support for asynchronous operations
– Guaranteed delivery like MSMQ
– Endpoints do not have to exist on local machine
Service Broker (2)
• Service Broker Components
– Messages
• Bits of information that describe an operation
– Contracts
• An agreement to what a message will consist of
– Queues
• FIFO stores for messages
– Services
• Code that handles a message out of a Queue
Service Broker (3)
• Other Service Broker Services
–
–
–
–
Conversation Management (discussions between services)
Transactional Support
Orchestration of Multiple Conversations
Security
