Some Key New Features of SQL Server 2008
| Data Compression |
Reduces the amount of storage space needed to store tables and indexes, which enables more efficient storage of data. |
| Resource Governor |
Control and allocate CPU and memory resources to high priority applications. This enables predictable performance to be maintained and helps avoid performance from being negatively affected by resource-intense applications or processes. |
| Hot-Add CPUs and Memory |
Available with the 64-bit edition SQL Server Enterprise, allows CPUs to be dynamically added to servers as needed, without the need to shut down the server or limit client connections. Hot-add memory enables memory to be added in the same way. |
| Partition Aligned Indexed Views |
Indexed Views let SQL Server persist the results of a view, instead of having to dynamically combine the results from the individual queries in the view definition. Indexed Views can now be created to follow the partitioning scheme of the table that they reference. |
| Partitioned Table Parallelism |
On a multiprocessor system, SQL Server 2008 uses parallel processing when you run queries that reference partitioned tables. |
| Filtered Indexes |
Use filtered indexes to optimize performance for specific queries by ensuring that they contain only the rows referenced by the queries.
