Hi all,
I have not worked in Standard edition in a while (Enterprise only), but a new client of ours only wants Standard edition installed.
I know of the main differences between Std and Ent (such as hardware, AO groups, etc.). But I was mostly wondering if there are any TSQL specific commands / table design features / data types, etc. that are available in Ent but not in Std edition?
Thanks

Not at that level.
I believe ONLINE create/rebuild of indexes is not available in standard.
If you're on SQL 2016 on above, data compression is still available.

thank you
I just came across this table sys.dm_db_persisted_sku_features
Which looks like it could be what I was looking for

I guess your client may be looking at workload and thinking Standard Edition will do.
Both they and you should look at BCO and what SLAs they want for RTO and RPO and how this might be achieved with Standard and Enterprise. For me, the Availability Group options in Enterprise justify the extra cost. The additional ease of operation with online operations are a wonderful great free bonus, but BCO capability is the killer app that makes Enterprise worth paying for.
