There are many new features that are being shipped with Microsoft
SQL Server 2008. But there were only a couple on that list that really stood out as a reason for me to upgrade to SQL Server 2008. What features are you most excited about in the Microsoft SQL Server 2008 release?
- Data Compression: Enable data to be stored more effectively and
reduce the storage requirements for your data. Data Compression also
provides significant performance improvements for large I/O bound
workloads like data warehousing.
- Backup Compression: Keeping disk-based backups online is
expensive and time consuming. With SQL Server 2008 backup compression,
less storage is required to keep backups online and backups run
significantly faster since less disk I/O is required.
- T-SQL Intellisense: It is about time that SQL Management Studio gets Intellisense. Source ( Is SQL2K8 Really a dot Release )
