  • On the SQL Server Build Lists page, the links to the 2016 and 2017 builds appear to be broken.

  • ... and I haven't even installed a single SQL Server 2017 version yet.

    Should be fixed

    If you're using 2016, I don't think 2017 adds a lot. Unless you need one of the specific features they enhanced.

    Same for 2019, not a big step for the engine over 2016, unless you need new functionality.

    Agreed.  Hopefully, we won't have to upgrade until 2021 and then someone else can do it because <drum roll please> I'll be retired. 😀

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

  • I'm impressed. Spark with SQL Server shows that Microsoft is finally getting the demand for truly scalable BI within the product. Good deal. We left SQL Server behind... this is a decent consideration for coming back.

    I'll not be far behind :Whistling:

    Far away is close at hand in the images of elsewhere.

  • Thank you for this article, Steve. There's a lot here I wasn't aware of. I've got a question about SQL Operations Studio being renamed to Azure Data Studio. Does that mean I need to uninstall SQL Operations Studio, then download and install Azure Data Studio?

    I have no idea. Since SOS was preview (beta), I uninstalled it and just installed ADS.

    Does ADS no longer have the Preview moniker?
