Question

9780735693883f_thumb.jpg

 

Introduction

 

Our purpose in Introducing Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 is to point out both

the new and the improved in the latest version of SQL Server. Because this

version is Release 2 (R2) of SQL Server 2008, you might think the changes are

relatively minor—more than a service pack, but not enough to justify an entirely

new version. However, as you read this book, we think you will find that there are a

lot of exciting enhancements and new capabilities engineered into SQL Server 2008 R2

that will have a positive impact on your applications, ranging from improvements

in operation to those in management. It is definitely not a minor release!

 

Who Is This Book For?

 

This book is for anyone who has an interest in SQL Server 2008 R2 and wants to

understand its capabilities. In a book of this size, we cannot cover every feature

that distinguishes SQL Server from other databases, and consequently we assume

that you have some familiarity with SQL Server already. You might be a database

administrator (DBA), an application developer, a power user, or a technical

decision maker. Regardless of your role, we hope that you can use this book to

discover the features in SQL Server 2008 R2 that are most beneficial to you.
