  • I suspect a lot of AI for analytics especially for security and BI on Azure.

    I do not expect much of it to reach on-premises SQL Server anytime soon as it would not surprise me if Microsoft announced it was moving to five year releases. ie The next version will be SQL2027.

     

  • TBH... I'm deathly afraid of any changes or "improvements" that MS makes any more.  The huge slowdown that started with the new cardinality estimator in 2016 was the first big sign of trouble.  Fortunately, shifting  back to the legacy CE fixed all our stuff.

    Then, 2019 came out with a huge number of performance issues and, apparently, changing back to the Legacy CE and even flipping the Compatability Level back to 2016/2017 didn't help folks.

    2022 was released with those same problems and other things to help slow the system down even a bit more.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

    Some AI, embeddings in Azure SQL DB, but nothing about on-premises.

    I got that wrong.

  • Yeah, I suspected something since Software Assurance is a big revenue item and they can't let those customers get nothing. I'm not sure I think there was a lot here, but I bet we see 2.5-3yr releases from here because of SA
