SQL Server 2025 ready to go

 I have not yet done looking at SQL Server 2022, SQL Server 2025 is ready to go. Microsoft is indeed relentless! 

Microsoft announced SQL Server 2025 at the Microsoft Ignite event in Chicago. Now , AI spans all over the Microsoft Eco system and that includes SQL Server. This time around Microsoft introduced SQL Server 2025 and SQL database on Fabric.


SQL Server is integrated with AI with:

  • Vector search
  • Vector Indexing using DiskANN
  • T-SqL functions to support generation embedding and text chunking

Another useful feature added is the support for calling external REST APIs into SQL Server, a feature that existed in AZURE SQL Database. This AI feature makes it easy to store your AI models on premises and use them right away.

SQL Server 2025 will have optimized locking and will support native JSON datatype and improvements to Always on Availability groups. Also,GIT support for Microsoft Management Studio was announced. With this SSMS has now what is called a dark mode! 

Furthermore, a new product was announced, the SQL Database on Fabric. Microsoft Fabric is its unified analytics platform that integrates various datatools under one title. It is supposed to simplify data analysis and insights for both professionals and business users. 

Hey, Google does not have one such thing under a single title, but it has various functionalities dispersed in its cloud.

Let's move on!
