Key benefits

  • Build database applications by using the development features of SQL Server 2017
  • Work with temporal tables to get information stored in a table at any time
  • Use adaptive querying to enhance the performance of your queries

Description

Microsoft SQL Server 2017 is a milestone in Microsoft's data platform timeline, as it brings in the power of R and Python for machine learning and containerization-based deployment on Windows and Linux. This book prepares you for advanced topics by starting with a quick introduction to SQL Server 2017's new features. Then, it introduces you to enhancements in the Transact-SQL language and new database engine capabilities before switching to a different technology: JSON support. You will take a look at the security enhancements and temporal tables. Furthermore, the book focuses on implementing advanced topics, including Query Store, columnstore indexes, and In-Memory OLTP. Toward the end of the book, you'll be introduced to R and how to use the R language with Transact-SQL for data exploration and analysis. You'll also learn to integrate Python code into SQL Server and graph database implementations as well as the deployment options on Linux and SQL Server in containers for development and testing. By the end of this book, you will be armed to design efficient, high-performance database applications without any hassle.

Who is this book for?

Database developers and solution architects looking to design efficient database applications using SQL Server 2017 will find this book very useful. In addition, this book will be valuable to advanced analysis practitioners and business intelligence developers. Database consultants dealing with performance tuning will get a lot of useful information from this book as well. Some basic understanding of database concepts and T-SQL is required to get the best out of this book.

What you will learn

  • • Explore the new development features introduced in SQL Server 2017
  • • Identify opportunities for In-Memory OLTP technology
  • • Use columnstore indexes to get storage and performance improvements
  • • Exchange JSON data between applications and SQL Server
  • • Use the new security features to encrypt or mask the data
  • • Control the access to the data on the row levels
  • • Discover the potential of R and Python integration

Book has great examples using SQL and details for developers on creating sql code for new 2016 2017 features like JSON and encryption. A dba may decide to skip past and go to the dba topics but still highly recommended.

ConclusionThe book’s title is misleading. This book is essentially the SQL Server 2016 version of the book, amended to take into account SQL Server 2017. I would estimate 75% of the book relates to SQL server 2016, and 25% to 2017. In some ways I felt a bit cheated. That said, if you’re unfamiliar with both SQL Server 2016 and 2017, this book is an excellent starting place, and would merit a rating of 4.8 (out of 5).This book aims to introduce you to the salient new and enhanced features in SQL Server 2016 and 2017, and succeeds. It is generally easy to read, well written, with useful explanations, tips, example code, and diagrams.Whilst the book doesn’t cover all the new features (e.g. PolyBase), it does cover the major ones. I suspect the more you know about SQL Server already, the more useful this book will be. Since the book focuses on new and enhanced features, large subject areas are omitted (e.g. database design).Sometimes, before discussing an extended feature (e.g. In-Memory OLTP), a large amount of background information is given with reference to previous editions of SQL Server. Whilst this may be useful if you don’t know the feature, it could be argued it is unnecessary - if you already know SQL Server 2014.It might have been useful to include a section discussing SQL Server changes in terms of some of the industry’s wider trends (e.g. Big Data, Social Media, the Cloud).Overall, if you want to know more about the new and enhanced features in SQL Server 2016 and 2017 together, I can recommend this well-written book.

There is lots of good info in this book, though it is clearly a partially updated version of the 2016 book. Whole sections discuss SQL Server 2016 as the new version, not 2017. And the large page count is partly due to the number of pages that just contain a short paragraph.

Das E-Book ist schlecht lesbar, Grafiken überlappen den Text und die Texte mit "Source Codes" sehen grausig aus. Schwierig was über den Inhalt zu erfahren und zu rezensieren, wenn es so sehr anstrengt den Text zu lesen.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
