6. PASS Community Summit - Seattle November 19-22, 2002 Washington State Convention & Trade Center Seattle, Washington

7. Gord Mangione, VP Microsoft SQL Server Bill Baker, General Manager SQL Server Peter Spiro, Distinguished Developer YUKON debrief

8. OLAP and Data mining BI Dev Workbench ETL Management Tools Best Practices and Partnerships ACT III! Act I = OLAP Act II = Data Mining Act III … YUKON BI

9. ACT III ??? YUKON BI

10. Scalability, Serviceability, Manageability, Securability, Usability Scalability Centralized calculations on the server –Less network traffic –Simple to maintain Cached MDX Calcs Disk based dimension storage (150 Mil members tested) 10X performance increase on write-back YUKON BI “…Abilities”

11. Securability Every line of code reviewed in May (2K sp3) –Secure by default (disable http anonymous) –Fine grain admin permissions –Service runs at lowest security level Encryption –Pipe, password, local cubes Signed binaries Audit YUKON BI “…Abilities”

12. Manageability Integrated with relation engine –Single shell FE, Query Editor supports MDX, SQL –Profile OLAP (connections, actions, stats, usual) –Integrated Backup/restore Development –Development lifecycle (dev-test-prod) –XML based DDL, stored procedures Analysis Management Objects – ASO (Replaces DSO) MDX Debugger –Visualize calculation logic –Debug logic… step by step, check calc logic YUKON BI “…Abilities”

13. Availability Failover clustering “in the box” Multi-instance Server staging Back-up and Restore –NOT Archive and restore! –No more 2 Gb limit XML for Analysis (XMLA) –The way that A.S. interacts with clients –Native server protocol, not PTS –Enables integration with other AS servers –Available now. YUKON BI “…Abilities”

14. Serviceability Trace events Flight recorder – last “n” events Capture and replay events Dr Watson  Backward compatibility –Full support for MDX, ADO MD, OLE DB –Migration tools –Side-by-Side integration YUKON BI “…Abilities”

15. Usability Usability studies Focus Groups Site visits … YUKON BI “…Abilities”

16. Programmability Goals –Enable developers to take advantage of existing skills –Provide end-to-end development tool Common Language Runtime (CLR) –Infrastructure integration (memory, threads, SQL types) –Functions procedures, triggers –User defined types, aggregations –in-proc data access –symmetric data access )mid-tier/data tier deployment. –Tight integration with (AUTHORING, DEBUGGIN, PROFILING) YUKON RDBMS

17. Programmability XML –Structured/semi-structures data documents –XML data types (first class citizens, columns, variables, parameters of the XML type can be associated with XSD… not just a char column) –X-Query (standard optimizations/storage) –Native Web Services (HTTP, soap protocal) –Web service YUKON RDBMS

18. Programmability T-SQL enhancements –Varchar(max), date, time –Recursive queries (ANSI) (“bill of materials” types of queries) –Exception handling (for transaction abort) –Query notification (notify when the results of the query change) –Mid-tier cache invalidation –Multiple active result sets (single connection allows multiple requests in the server) –Query notifications YUKON RDBMS

19. Data Management Security –Implementation robustness, more precise control –Row level security, user/schema separation, –Flexible server roles, all permissions grantable, tools documentation Availability/Scalability –Online operations (create index, restore) –Support for high-end failover clustering operations –Scale up operations (target 64 proc machines) –64 bit operations support for Itanium 2 family Available in SQL2K SP3! YUKON RDBMS

20. Data Management Manageability (differentiate from other systems) –Innovative management tools and object models –Awareness and auto-reporting of problems –Comprehensive logging and playback to isolate issues. Futures (MSFT realized that database technology is really useful thing!!) –VLDB, RAS, Query capabilities (available to many storage areas... file system, Exchange, etc), –Self managing –Unified Storage –Synergy between data triangle Personal data Internet data Business data YUKON RDBMS

21. Application Example VB code created with visual studio –“create assembly”... to point to the dll security is defined by permission buckets. Stored procedure calls the assembly –“create HTTP Endpoint” … to create a web service allow the procedure to be accessed outside SQL Algorithm on the XML data –Created a user defined aggregate based on the CLR –Consume multiple rows into a scalar value –XML loaded into the DOM –Extract the data and run the aggregation Takeaway –Integrated into system YUKON RDBMS

22. Conference Sessions 200+ members of the Microsoft SQL Server Team including product managers, developers, testers, and members of the support team Over 100 Technical Sessions focusing only on SQL Server More than 80 MVP, Microsoft and user-expert presenters 30+ leading complementary solution providers on our tradeshow floor

23. Conference Sessions 11 full-day SQL Server seminars 10 Ask the Expert topics and 3 Q&A Panel discussions, moderated by Microsoft The most detailed preview of Yukon for months to come.

24. Highlights Yukon SP 3 Beta Access to Microsoft Development Team Ask the Experts

25. Next Year November 11-14, 2003 Washington State Convention & Trade Center Seattle, Washington BE THERE!
