SQL Server 2005 - An Introduction

Icon Special Report Preview:

Microsoft has been working hard, very hard indeed at re-engineering many of its products to cope with the demands of the 21st Century. Their flagship database product, SQL Server, has not escaped the overhaul, and today we now have a worthy competitor to other mainstream database systems.

In fact, the overhaul has led to the main product being so feature rich that there are now four versions of SQL Server 2005 to match any company’s requirements: Enterprise, Standard, Workgroup and Express.

If all you require is a simple database solution, then Microsoft is even offering the SQL Server 2005 Express edition for free to help you get started.

You can get a comparison on each of the products and a full guide to all the new features by clicking here.

SQL Server 2005 has been redesigned to provide:-

  • A high level of security and protection against viruses, hackers and disasters to ensure 24x7 availability of all information.
  • A greater range of development facilities to help get applications to market more quickly.
  • Up-to-date support with today’s Internet facilities to provide faster and more secure access for online transactions.
  • A wider range of administration facilities to ensure proactive problem resolution.
  • Built-in facilities for business intelligence. With the right business intelligence you can quickly spot trends and quickly make decisions that could result in making, or saving, your company potentially significant amounts of revenue.

So how does SQL Server 2005 do this? Read on!
