5. Survey Developers Administrators

6. AlwaysOn: Objectives Increased availability Improved hardware utilization Simplified administration

7. AlwaysOn: Availability Instance AvailabilityDatabase Availability

8. AlwaysOn: Instance Availability Enhances Windows Failover Clustering with: – Enhanced diagnostics – Flexible failover policies – Easier multi-site clustering

9. AlwaysOn: Health & Diagnostics Five Resource Types: System Resources Query Processing IO Subsystem Events

10. AlwaysOn: Failover Policies Condition Policy Number 012345 Windows Service Down Cannot Obtain Health System Reports Error Resource Reports Error Query Processing Reports Error

11. AlwaysOn: Multi-Site Clustering Multi-site clustering supported since 2005 – VLAN required between sites – Storage-level replication separate from SQL Server Multi-subnet support with 2012 – Storage-level replication still separate from SQL Server DNS Site ASite B

12. AlwaysOn: Database Availability Enhances database mirroring with: – Multiple Secondaries – Availability Groups – Virtual Network Name – Readable Secondaries

13. AlwaysOn: Availability Groups Multiple user databases in replicated set Failover together within topology

14. AlwaysOn: Secondaries 1 primary + up to 4 secondaries – 2 max synchronous secondaries Provide failover & automatic page correction 1 secondary in automatic failover pair

15. AlwaysOn: Secondaries

16. AlwaysOn: Automated Failover Condition Policy Number 12345 Windows Service Down OR AG Lease Expired Replica in Failed State System Reports Error Resource Reports Error Query Processing Report Error

17. AlwaysOn: Virtual Network Name Virtual Network Name (VNN) established with Windows Failover Cluster Services (WFCS) Availability Group Listener interacts with WFCS to identify primary Availability Group Applications connect to VNN or individual server names Virtual Network Name

18. AlwaysOn: Readability All secondaries support backups 2 secondaries can be designated readable Availability Group Listener can route read-only workloads to readable secondaries – Routing list prioritizes secondaries – Application must specify ReadOnly intent Virtual Network Name

19. AlwaysOn: Administration

20. Windows Core Server Support Supports: – Database Engine – Analysis Services – Integration Services

21. Security: Contained Databases Instance User Login Instance User/Login Useful in scenarios when need to move a database: AlwaysOn Application Development Azure

22. Security: Contained Databases Supports Windows & SQL authentication – Windows-only recommended for authentication security & DoS concerns Must be enabled at instance-level and implemented for specific databases Access to instance-level resources permitted – Database becomes partially contained – Partial containment monitored through sys.dm_db_uncontained_entities & cdb_uncontained_usage event

23. Security: Contained Databases Increased potential attack surface – db_owner, db_securityadmin, or users with ALTER ANY USER permissions can grant access without knowledge of instance admins Drives security administration to multiple levels – DB-level logins can access other databases through guest or corresponding logins or user-accounts

24. Security BUILTIN\Admins & LocalSystem Managed service accounts & virtual accounts Custom server roles

25. Security: Audit Improvements Server-level audit available in every edition – Database-level audit in Enterprise & Developer only Fail operation options for log failures More information in audit logs Audits can be defined with filters sp_audit_write proc for custom audit

26. Resource Governor Enhancements Support for 64 resource pools Hard caps for CPU usage – CPU does not wait for contention Resource pools can be assigned affinity for specific schedulers or NUMA nodes

27. Performance Improvements Full-text search – Fully integrated with database engine – Improved query optimization & parallelism – Versioning to improve concurrent reads & writes Spatial indexes – Numerous improvements to indexes – Helper procs for easier index tuning – Support for row and page-level compression – Query plan optimizations

28. Performance Improvements Expanded online operations – Add a non-nullable column with a default – Index rebuilds support BLOBs Support for 15k partitions – Back ported to SQL Server 2008 & 2008 R2 Columnstore indexes!

30. Columnstore Index Execution Plan With Columnstore Index Without Columnstore Index

31. Columnstore Index Scan Scans required index columns Optimized for batch retrieval – Retrieves ~1,000 rows per batch – Batches proceed to subsequent filtering

32. Batch Hash Table Build & Hash Match Multiple filtering values organized as hash table Hash table applied to index scan batches &

33. Memory Consumption With Columnstore Index Without Columnstore Index

34. New T-SQL Functions String Conversion Date & Time Logical Analytical

35. String Conversion Functions PARSE FORMAT CONCAT TRY_CONVERT TRY_PARSE

36. Date & Time Functions DATEFROMPARTS DATETIME2FROMPARTS DATETIMEFROMPARTS DATETIMEOFFSETFROMPARTS SMALLDATETIMEFROMPARTS TIMEFROMPARTS EOMONTH

39. Programmability Enhancements Pagination in ORDER BY clause

40. Programmability Enhancements Windowed operations in OVER clause – Enable moving averages, running totals, etc.

41. Programmability Enhancements THROW statement FORCESEEK & FORCESCAN table hints – Back ported to SQL Server 2008 R2

42.
