Survey Developers Administrators
AlwaysOn: Objectives • Increased availability • Improved hardware utilization • Simplified administration
AlwaysOn: Availability Instance Availability Database Availability
AlwaysOn: Instance Availability • Enhances Windows Failover Clustering with: • Enhanced diagnostics • Flexible failover policies • Easier multi-site clustering
AlwaysOn: Health & Diagnostics • Five Resource Types: • System • Resources • Query Processing • IO Subsystem • Events
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 A Site B
AlwaysOn: Database Availability • Enhances database mirroring with: • Multiple Secondaries • Availability Groups • Virtual Network Name • Readable Secondaries
AlwaysOn: Availability Groups • Multiple user databases in replicated set • Failover together within topology
AlwaysOn: Secondaries • 1 primary + up to 4 secondaries • 2 max synchronous secondaries • Provide failover & automatic page correction • 1 secondary in automatic failover pair
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
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
Windows Core Server Support • Supports: • Database Engine • Analysis Services • Integration Services
Security: Contained Databases Instance Instance Login User User/Login • Useful in scenarios when need to move a database: • AlwaysOn • Application Development • Azure
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
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
Security • BUILTIN\Admins & LocalSystem • Managed service accounts & virtual accounts • Custom server roles
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_writeproc for custom audit
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
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
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!

Columnstore Index Execution Plan With Columnstore Index Without Columnstore Index
Columnstore Index Scan • Scans required index columns • Optimized for batch retrieval • Retrieves ~1,000 rows per batch • Batches proceed to subsequent filtering
Batch Hash Table Build& Hash Match & • Multiple filtering values organized as hash table • Hash table applied to index scan batches
Memory Consumption With Columnstore Index Without Columnstore Index
New T-SQL Functions • String Conversion • Date & Time • Logical • Analytical
String Conversion Functions • PARSE • FORMAT • CONCAT • TRY_CONVERT • TRY_PARSE
Date & Time Functions • DATEFROMPARTS • DATETIME2FROMPARTS • DATETIMEFROMPARTS • DATETIMEOFFSETFROMPARTS • SMALLDATETIMEFROMPARTS • TIMEFROMPARTS • EOMONTH
Logical Functions • CHOOSE • IIF
Analytical Functions • CUME_DIST • PERCENT_RANK • PERCENTILE_CONT • PERCENTILE_DISC • FIRST_VALUE • LAST_VALUE • LEAD • LAG
Programmability Enhancements • Pagination in ORDER BY clause
Programmability Enhancements • Windowed operations in OVER clause • Enable moving averages, running totals, etc.
Programmability Enhancements • THROW statement • FORCESEEK & FORCESCAN table hints • Back ported to SQL Server 2008 R2
Sequence Objects • Defined using: • TinyInt: 0 to 255 • SmallInt: -32,768 to 32,767 • Int: -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647 • BigInt: -9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 • Decimal: - 99,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999to 99,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999 using decimal(38,0) • Bound by start, increment, min & max values • Cycle options for when range is exceeded • Created outside scope of current transaction • Values consumed upon request • Caching available for performance • Cache lost with system failure • Default cache of 50 • Retrieved using NEXT VALUE FOR or sp_sequence_get_range
