Product Features:SQL Server 2014 enables customers to build mission-critical applications and Big Data solutions using high-performance, in-memory technology across OLTP, data warehousing, business intelligence and analytics workloads without having to buy expensive add-ons or high-end appliances. SQL Server 2014 uses a common set of tools to deploy and manage databases both on-premises and in the cloud, which makes it easier for customers to take advantage of the cloud with existing skills. SQL Server 2014 makes it easier and more cost effective to build high-performance, mission-critical applications, enterprise ready Big Data assets, and BI solutions that help employees make better decisions, faster. These solutions have the flexibility of being deployed on-premises, in the cloud or in a hybrid environment, and can be managed through a common and familiar a tool set. SQL Server 2014 accelerates reliable, mission critical applications with a new in-memory OLTP engine that can deliver on average 10x, and up to 30x transactional performance gains. For Data Warehousing, the new updatable in-memory columnstore can query 100x faster than legacy solutions. SQL Server also delivers peace of mind as the most secure database five years in a row. With Windows Server, physical processing now scales up to 640 logical processors, and virtual machines scale up to 64 logical processors. SQL Server 2014 uses this scale, storage spaces and network virtualization to maximize overall infrastructure utilization. It can also run on Windows Server Core to lower the surface area of attack. What's new in SQL Server 2014 with Service Pack 3?Microsoft SQL Server 2014 service packs are cumulative updates. SQL Server 2014 SP3 upgrades all editions and service levels of SQL Server 2014 to SQL Server 2014 SP3. In addition to the fixes that are listed in this article, SQL Server 2014 SP3 includes hotfixes that were included in SQL Server 2014 Cumulative Update 1 (CU1) tthrough SQL Server 2014 SP2 CU13. Microsoft's announcement described a number of improvements brought by SP3. It's a long list, but here's the short version:An improved distribution database cleanup procedure.Improved performance for "change tracking cleanup."Improved query handling based on CPU thresholds.T-SQL syntax support for loading tables other than the "default filegroup."Backup performance improvements for small to medium databases on large-memory machines.Database restore improvements for compressed "4K-sector volumes."There were other improvements, including Dynamic Management Views (DMV) additions. DMVs show server diagnostic information. For instance, there's a new view to help administrators plan "TempDB sizing" per database version storage requirements. Microsoft also added two new DMVs for monitoring transaction log information. IT pros may be cheered by getting full dumps (instead of mini-dumps) when "replication agents encounter an unhandled exception." Microsoft is also promising that SP3 will enable the "proper handling of Service Broker" when there's an Availability Group failover as all open connections will now get closed with SP3. + all the features from Service Pack 2 and 1: Performance and Scalability ImprovementsAutomatic Soft NUMA partitioning: With SQL Server 2014 SP2, Automatic Soft NUMA is enabled when Trace Flag 8079 is turned on during instance startup. When Trace Flag 8079 is enabled during startup, SQL Server 2014 SP2 will interrogate the hardware layout and automatically configure Soft NUMA on systems reporting 8 or more CPUs per NUMA node. The automatic, soft NUMA behavior is Hyperthread (HT/logical processor) aware. The partitioning and creation of additional nodes scales background processing by increasing the number of listeners, scaling, and network and encryption capabilities. It is recommended to first test the performance workload with Auto-Soft NUMA before turning it in production. Dynamic Memory Object Scaling: SQL Server 2014 SP2 dynamically partitions memory objects based on number of nodes and cores to scale on modern hardware. The goal of dynamic promotion is to automatically partition a thread safe memory object (CMEMTHREAD) if it becomes a bottleneck. Un-partitioned memory objects can be dynamically promoted to be partitioned by node (number of partitions equals number of NUMA nodes), and memory objects partitioned by node can by further promoted to be partitioned by CPU (number of partitions equals number of CPUs). MAXDOP hint for DBCC CHECK* commands: This improvement addresses connect feedback (468694). You can now run DBCC CHECKDB with the a MAXDOP setting other than the sp_configure value. If MAXDOP exceeds the value configured with Resource Governor, the Database Engine uses the Resource Governor MAXDOP value, described in ALTER WORKLOAD GROUP (Transact-SQL). All semantic rules used with the max degree of parallelism configuration option are applicable when you use the MAXDOP query hint. Enable >8TB for Buffer Pool: SQL Server 2014 SP2 enables 128TB of virtual address space for buffer pool usage. This improvement enables SQL Server Buffer Pool to scale beyond 8TB on modern hardware. SOS_RWLock spinlock Improvement: The SOS_RWLock is a synchronization primitive used in various places throughout the SQL Server code base. As the name implies, the code can have multiple shared (readers) or single (writer) ownership. This improvement removes the need for spinlock for SOS_RWLock and instead uses lock-free techniques similar to in-memory OLTP. With this change, many threads can read a data structure protected by SOS_RWLock in parallel without blocking each other and thereby providing increased scalability. Prior to this change, the spinlock implementation allowed only one thread to acquire the SOS_RWLock at a time, even to read a data structure. Spatial Native Implementation: Significant improvement in spatial query performance is introduced in SQL Server 2014 SP2 through native implementation. Supportability and Diagnostics ImprovementsDatabase Cloning: Clone database is a new DBCC command that enhances troubleshooting existing production databases by cloning the schema and metadata without the data. The clone is created with the command DBCC clonedatabase(‘source_database_name’, ‘clone_database_name’). Note: Cloned databases should not be used in production environments. Use the following command determine if a database has been generated from a cloned database: select DATABASEPROPERTYEX('clonedb', 'isClone'). The return value of 1 indicates the database is created from clonedatabase while 0 indicates it is not a clone. Tempdb supportability: A new errorlog message that indicates the number of tempdb files and the size/autogrowth of tempdb data files present at server startup. Database Instant File Initialization Logging: A new errorlog message that indicates on server statup, the status of Database Instant File Initialization (enabled/disabled). Module names in callstack: The Xevent callstack now includes modules names + offset instead of absolute addresses. New DMF for incremental statistics: This improvement addresses connect feedback to enable tracking the incremental statistics at the partition level. A new DMF sys.dm_db_incremental_stats_properties is introduced to expose information per-partition for incremental stats. Index Usage DMV behavior updated: This improvement addresses connect feedback from customers where rebuilding an index will not clear any existing row entry from sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats for that index. The behavior will now be the same as in SQL 2008 and SQL Server 2016. Improved correlation between diagnostics XE and DMVs: This improvement addresses connect feedback (1934583). Query_hash and query_plan_hash are used for identifying a query uniquely. DMV defines them as varbinary(8), while XEvent defines them as UINT64. Since SQL server does not have "unisigned bigint", casting does not always work. This improvement introduces new XEvent action/filter columns equivalent to query_hash and query_plan_hash except they are defined as INT64 which can help correlating queries between XE and DMVs. Support for UTF-8 in BULK INSERT and BCP: This improvement addresses connect feedback where support for export and import of data encoded in UTF-8 character set is now enabled in BULK INSERT and BCP. Lightweight per-operator query execution profiling: While troubleshooting query performance, although showplan provides lot of information on the query execution plan and cost of operator in the plan but it has limited information on actual runtime statistics like (CPU, I/O Reads, elapsed time per-thread). SQL 2014 SP2 introduces these additional runtime statistics per operator in the Showplan as well as an XEvent (query_thread_profile) to assist troubleshooting query performance. Change Tracking Cleanup: A new stored procedure sp_flush_CT_internal_table_on_demand is introduced to cleanup change tracking internal tables on demand. AlwaysON Lease Timeout Logging: Added new logging capability for Lease Timeout messages so that the current time and the expected renewal times are logged. Also a new message was introduced in the SQL Errorlog regarding the timeouts. See the blog for more information. New DMF for retrieving input buffer in SQL Server: A new DMF for retrieving the input buffer for a session/request (sys.dm_exec_input_buffer) is now available. This is functionally equivalent to DBCC INPUTBUFFER. Mitigation for underestimated and overestimated memory grant: Added new query hints for Resource Governor through MIN_GRANT_PERCENT and MAX_GRANT_PERCENT. This allows you to leverage these hints while running queries by capping their memory grants to prevent memory contention. Better memory grant/usage diagnostics: A new extended event was added to the list of tracing capabilities in SQL Server (query_memory_grant_usage) to track memory grants requested and granted. This provides better tracing and analysis capabilities for troubleshooting query execution issues related to memory grants. Query execution diagnostics for tempdb spill: Hash Warning and Sort Warnings now have additional columns to track physical I/O statistics, memory used and rows affected. We also introduced a new hash_spill_details extended event. Now you can track more granular information for your hash and sort warnings. This improvement is also now exposed through the XML Query Plans in the form of a new attribute to the SpillToTempDbType complex type. Improved diagnostics for query execution plans that involve residual predicate pushdown: The actual rows read will now be reported in the query execution plans to help improve query performance troubleshooting. This should negate the need to capture SET STATISTICS IO separately. This now allows you to see information related to a residual predicate pushdown in a query plan. Please notice:Installation of SQL Server 2014 is supported on x64 processors only.The Main Picture is promotional only, the photos of the Shrink Wrapped DVD Case is the actual item.The software comes with retail Core License, making them good in a production setup.If you have any question, please don’t hesitate to ask. We will do all we can to answer you within one business day. Important:Many sellers only sell the license and link, we also did that in the beginning, but more and more customers wanted the installation DVD also, so we found a new distributor, which also supplied that. Our customers are very happy with this solution. So there is no problem with the software and license at all.If you rather want the license and link, we can open a box and send it to you instead, please tell us right after you place the order. In that case, you will receive the license much, much faster, and if you want, we can still ship the box to you. If not, we will trash it so the license won't be sold again.
