James Boother introduces new features in SQL Server 2008
Databases play an increasingly important part in our business lives.
Not only does business success increasingly depend on the quality of
the databases we operate but also on those databases' agility in being
able to provide the right information as and when we need it.
And, when databases are corrupted - or stolen, as has happened a number
of times in the past year with some 'high profile' public sector
databases - both the operational efficiency and credibility of the
organisation that owns them is called into question.
It was against this background that James Boother, managing director of
software developer Live Software Solutions (LSS) addressed The UK SQL
Server User Group (www.sqlserverfaq.com) at its October meeting at the
Microsoft office in Victoria, London. James Boother was invited to
speak at the event by Christian Bolton of Coeo, a company formed to
focus on 'deep-dive' technical engagements to complement existing teams
within Microsoft's customers and services partners.
The User Group examined SQL Server 2008 - the latest version of this
popular database - and James Boother spoke on 'the table value
parameter (TVP) additions to SQL Server 2008', taking a detailed look
at how to use TVPs compared with the options available in previous
versions of SQL Server (SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005).
"SQL Server 2008, launched in February 2008, brought new features for
resource management and better instance isolation," said James Boother,
who has been using SQL Server since 2000 in a variety of enterprise
applications. "Making best use of these features is key to the success
database development projects where customers want to maximise their
investment in SQL Server.
"Understanding the metrics to characterise database and resource use,
including transaction throughput, availability and security
requirements, are just some of the factors that you should consider
when determining the use of these new features."
James Boother's company, which holds Microsoft Certified Partner
status, develops and delivers software for, among others, the insurance
and publishing sectors.
