MS SQL Server 2005 Consulting and Support

Microsoft SQL Server

Information technology solutions often involve the storage and retrieval of data in a database. A solid, well-engineered MS SQL database design provides the foundation for a successful database enabled application.

We believe that good database design begins with good requirements definition. We work with our clients to gain a thorough understanding of the meaning of the data to be stored as well as the processes to be modeled by the MS SQL database application.

Metroplex Tech has extensive experience in creating database solutions tailored to the specific requirements of our clients - from compact flat-file storage techniques to complex relational database solutions.

In addition, Metroplex Tech SQL consultants can help you plan and implement migrations from legacy information management and database systems, such as SQL Server 2000 to the latest Microsoft SQL Server version.

Feature Overview of Microsoft SQL Server

Microsoft SQL Server uses a variant of SQL called T-SQL, or Transact-SQL with many extensions. T-SQL mainly adds additional syntax for use in stored procedures, and affects the syntax of transaction support. Microsoft SQL Server also supports Open Database Connectivity (ODBC).

The latest release SQL Server 2005 also supports the ability to deliver client connectivity via the Web Services SOAP protocol. This allows non-Windows Clients to communicate cross platform with SQL Server.

Microsoft has also released a certified JDBC driver to let Java Applications like BEA and IBM WebSphere communicate with Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and 2005. Microsoft SQL Server 2005 also features automated database mirroring, failover clustering, and database snapshots.

Microsoft also aims to intrinsically support many digital data formats, including pictures, audio, video and other multimedia data. Intrinsic awareness of multimedia data will allow specialized functions to be performed on them. Other new data types include specialized date and time types and a Spatial data type for location-dependent data. Better support for unstructured and semi-structured data is planned as well. For unstructured data as well, specialized data types, including the File type will be added.

The next release of SQL Server can be a data storage backend for different varieties of data: XML, email, time/calendar, file, document, spatial, etc as well as perform search, query, analysis, sharing, and synchronization across all data types.

On the management side, SQL Server 2008 will include the Declarative Management Framework which allows configuring policies and constrains, on the entire database or certain tables, declaratively.

For data warehousing needs, SQL Server includes better compression features, which also helps in improving scalability. It also includes Resource Governor that allows reserving resources for certain users or workflows.

SQL Server Katmai will support the ADO.NET Entity Framework and the reporting tools, replication, and data definition will be build around the Entity Data Model. SQL Server Reporting Services will gain charting capabilities.
