Dive into RDS Custom for SQL Server - Leverage your existing licenses and high availability

  • Article

RDS Custom for SQL Server recently released exciting new features related to Bring Your Own Media (BYOM) and High Availability. By using BYOM, customers may leverage their existing SQL Server licenses with Amazon RDS Custom for SQL Server, when used in accordance to Microsoft terms. This allows customers who have already purchased SQL Server licenses to save on TCO/license costs, while offloading the undifferentiated heavy lifting of database management to Amazon RDS Custom. By using Multi-AZ deployment, customers can now set up high availability for their databases.

Question of the Day

STRING_AGG's behavior

Executing the following script (Sql Server 2022), you get the table t0 with 10 rows:
CREATE TABLE t0
( id     INT PRIMARY KEY
, field1 VARCHAR(1000)
, field2 VARCHAR(MAX));
INSERT INTO t0
SELECT
  gs.value
, REPLICATE ('X', 1000)
, REPLICATE ('Y', 1000)
FROM generate_series(1, 10, 1) gs;
GO
What happens if you execute the following statements?
  1. select STRING_AGG(field1, ';') within group (order by id)  from t0;
  2. select STRING_AGG(field2, ';') within group (order by id)  from t0;
