About the Presenter & Acmeware • This is our 10th year at MUSE! • Acmeware’s founder led the development of the DR while working at MEDITECH • We work exclusively with the MEDITECH DR • We have a friendly (and valued) relationship with MEDITECH • Ian Proffer • 15 years in IT, specializing in relational databases • 6+ years in healthcare, including MEDITECH C/S (Jefferson Healthcare) and Harborview Medical Center in Seattle
Session Agenda • SQL Server 2000 and 2005 • What’s new in SQL Server 2008 • Reporting Services 2008 • Demo • Windows Server 2008 • Discussion, questions and answers
Goodbye, old friend… • Mainstream support for SQL 2000 ended April 8, 2008 • Last service pack is SP4 • Extended support will be available until April 2013 • Pay-per-incident • Security update support at no cost • Self-help available online • SQL 2000 will not run on Windows Vista
Don’t worry, it’s not going anywhere • Microsoft mainstream support for SQL 2005 will be available for the foreseeable future • For our DR customers, migration from SQL 2000 to 2005 is just reaching its peak • New deployments are all on Server 2003/SQL Server 2005
What’s New in SQL Server 2008 • Security • Transparent data encryption – encrypt an entire database • Backup encryption – compresses and secures the backup file • Auditing – now monitors data access and modifications • Policy-based Framework from Windows Server 2008 automates administrative tasks
What’s New in SQL Server 2008 • Continuity • Hot-pluggable CPU allows you to add CPUs on the fly, if your hardware supports it • Enhanced database mirroring provides complete redundancy
What’s New in SQL Server 2008 • Performance • Built-in compression now at the row and page level improves disk storage and reduces memory requirements, backups compressed too • Resource Governor monitors and limits server resources by process or user and intervenes as necessary • More performance counters and new Performance Dashboard for increased measuring ability; new Performance Studio puts all performance tools in one console • NULL storage – sparse columns allow NULL values to be stored without using any physical disk space
What’s New in SQL Server 2008 • Development enhancements • DATE and TIME data types • New MERGE T-SQL syntax allows different operations (UPDATE, INSERT or DELETE) on a table based on user-defined conditions – all in a single statement
What’s New in SQL Server 2008 • Data integration (“Business Intelligence”) • Integration Services (SSIS) now scales past 2 processors and adds better performance for large datasets • Analysis Services (SSAS) scales and performs better for large datasets • Report Services (SSRS) integrates nicely with Office 2007 – export directly to Word, use Word and Excel for report templates in Report Designer
Reporting Services • SQL 2005 added: • Interactive sorting • Direct client printing (print report without exporting it first) • Use of multi-valued parameters • Better expression editor in Report Designer (list of functions, auto-complete, syntax checking) • Integration with SQL Server Management Studio and Visual Studio
Reporting Services • SQL 2008 adds: • Integration with Office 2007 • Better report rendering performance, especially for large datasets • New “Tablix” data region, which allows you to build reports that include: • Multiple parallel row/column members at each level • A mix of dynamic or static members on both rows and columns • Optional omission of member headers
Report Designer – add “Insurance” label inside or outside group
Windows Server 2008 • New user authentication and data encryption architecture • Logging improvements to capture SQL auditing events • Server clustering and database mirroring improvements • Policy-based Framework • Administration through Windows PowerShell (automated scripting environment) • Reliability and Performance Monitoring (think Windows Vista) • Built-in server virtualization (Hyper-V)
