What Is the difference between SQL 2012 and 2016?
Top 7 Features Coming to SQL Server 2016, let's see in the detail with examples.
1. Query Store
2. Polybase
3. Stretch Database
4. JSON Support
5. Row Level Security
6. Always Encrypted
7. In-Memory Enhancements
Query Store
Actually, In this version Microsoft trying to
maintains a history of query execution plans with query performance and quickly
queries etc.
PolyBase
This SQL connector provides the connectivity to Azure
Blob Storage and Hadoop using database tables query and Its dealing to a lot of
large text files.
Stretch Database
In this section, Microsoft is trying to reduce your storage cast by a hybrid feature that is called Stretch Database.
JSON Support
JSON Support Is very awesome features (https://smallseotools.
Row Level Security
The SQL Server 2016 provide row-level security. It's
very useful for multi-tenant environments and Its provide the limit to access
the data based on role etc.
Always Encrypted
The Always The encrypted mechanism provided an easy way to encryption to data and makes much better security.
In-Memory Enhancements
Now in SQL Server 2016, Fixed the issues and
trying to improved memory mgmt and Its also supporting foreign keys, check and
unique constraints and parallelism also.
Insert multiple level JSON data into SQL Server 2016 -
Now Native JSON support in SQL Server 2016 and it provides you some functions to read and parse your JSON object to table format.
1. The
OPENJSON () table value function transforms JSON
object to one or many rows. It will not execute any command. It just
returns a table row if JSON text is properly formatted. OPENJSON function will
also work with JSON arrays and this function can also open nested/hierarchical
JSON objects. OPENJSON will just return set of rows instead of a single row.
2. The
JSON_Value () is a scalar function
and used to returns a value from JSON on the specified path.
There are some specific examples for OPENJSON read nested JSON –
Example 1 – OPENJSON AND
JSON INPUT
DECLARE @json NVARCHAR(MAX)
SET @json=N'{
"Name":"Anil",
"Surname":"Singh",
"Age":32,
"Skills":["SQL","C#","MVC","Angular
2, 4 and 5"]
}'
SELECT * FROM OPENJSON(@json);
Result –
Example 2 – OPENJSON AND
JSON INPUT
DECLARE @json NVARCHAR(MAX)
set @json =N'[
