Sorry. I didn't see that Gail had already alerted you.

Care to drop any hints?No. Not until the announcements are made.
Check Twitter later (Grant, Tom LaRock, Kendra, etc) they should be tweeting the highlights (I'm trying to finish performance reviews)
Dang...
I think I caught the big announcement a minute ago (or the recap of it)
If it's what you're talking about, my old boss' head is going to explode...
:hehe:

Announcements include:
SP1 for 2016 (which also has CREATE OR ALTER).
A single development surface. This means all functionality in Enterprise is also in Standard and Web (WHOOOP!).
vNext community preview available (you can start testing on Linux).
It's a pretty exciting day.[/url]

I thought MS joining the Linux Foundation was the big news, obviously instead you both meant what SP1 is going to do to/for SQL2016 (found this on another site[/url])
SQL Server 2016 Service Pack 1 is also out today. This would normally not be tremendously interesting news, but this Service Pack has a difference. Traditionally, the different versions of SQL Server (Express, Standard, and Enterprise, from smallest to largest) have offered different features. They're all built on the same core engine, but some capabilities, such as in-memory transactional databases, were only available in the more expensive versions. This made it hard for developers to justify using those features; if customers may be using a mix of Standard and Enterprise, for example, many developers will stick with the Standard feature set, and ignore Enterprise capabilities.
Service Pack 1 makes all SQL Server versions functionally identical. They still have differences in terms of the number of processor cores and amount RAM they can use, but going forward, that's the only difference between SKUs. Microsoft's hope is that this will result in greater adoption of previously high-end features such as data warehousing and transparent database encryption. The company made a similar change with Windows Server licensing a few years ago, broadly unifying features across SKUs, using the different price points to govern hardware scaling and virtual machine licensing.
My response to that was two words, one of which I shouldn't use in polite company and the first was "holy"

All that, and the vNext is also on Windows. They're going to be releasing another full version of SQL Server very soon now. We are in for a wild ride.

True, but way more exciting is that it'll also be on Linux. 😛
First CTP will come out soon (if it isn't already - the date was announced at PASS but I forgot). RTM date for vNext is not announced, but everyone can do a reasonable guess based on the first CTP date.

Question, any way to get these keynotes to view later? I would like to share these with others here at work. Plus, I came in late.

I was just starting to get all excited about it, then I followed Brent Ozars' link to the feature comparison page (which has been updated) only to see that the *ONE* Enterprise Edition feature we *HAVE* to use (TDE), isn't going to the lower editions...
I would've loved to be able to tell the bosses that we should start planning to move to 2016 (and we haven't even gotten entirely on 2014 yet) because we were going to save a fortune in licensing...
*sigh*
I guess I'll go cry into my lunch now...

Did he say SQL Server 2016 supports Docker?
