New Features in SQL Server 2014

New Features in SQL Server 2014 : -
-----------------------------------
Microsoft introduces many new features in his Very popular product SQL Server version 2014. Below are some introduction about them :

1. In-Memory OLTP Engine
2. AlwaysOn Enhancements
3. Buffer Pool Extension
4. Updateable Columnstore Indexes
5. Storage I/O control
6. Power View for Multidimensional Models
7. Power BI for Office 365 Integration
8. SQL Server Data Tools for Business Intelligence
9. Backup Encryption
10. SQL Server Managed Backup to Windows Azure

1.In-Memory OLTP Engine -->
---------------------------
Version 2014 of Microsoft SQL Server do enable the memory optimization of selected tables and stored procedures. The In-Memory OLTP engine is designed for high concurrency and uses a new optimistic concurrency control  mechanism to eliminate locking delays. Microsoft states that customers can expect performance to be up to 20 times better than with SQL Server 2012 when using this new feature.

2. AlwaysOn Enhancements -->
----------------------------
Microsoft has enhanced AlwaysOn integration by expanding the maximum number of secondary replicas from four to eight. Readable secondary replicas are now also available for read workloads, even when the primary replica is unavailable. In addition, SQL Server 2014 provides the new Add Azure Replica Wizard, which helps you create asynchronous secondary replicas in Windows Azure.

3. Buffer Pool Extension -->
----------------------------
SQL Server 2014 provides a new solid state disk (SSD) integration capability that lets you use SSDs to expand the SQL Server 2014 Buffer Pool as nonvolatile RAM (NvRAM). With the new Buffer Pool Extensions feature, you can use SSD drives to expand the buffer pool in systems that have maxed out their memory. Buffer Pool Extensions can provide performance gains for read-heavy OLTP workloads.

4. Updateable Columnstore Indexes -->
-------------------------------------
When Microsoft introduced the columnstore index in SQL Server 2012, it provided improved performance for data warehousing queries. For some queries, the columnstore indexes provided a tenfold performance improvement. However, to utilize the columnstore index, the underlying table had to be read-only. SQL Server 2014 eliminates this restriction with the new updateable Columnstore Index. The SQL Server 2014 Columnstore Index must use all the columns in the table and can’t be combined with other indexes.

5. Storage I/O control -->
--------------------------
The Resource Governor lets you limit the amount of CPU and memory that a given workload can consume. SQL Server 2014 extends the reach of the Resource Governor to manage storage I/O usage as well. The SQL Server 2014 Resource Governor can limit the physical I/Os issued for user threads in a given resource pool.

6. Power View for Multidimensional Models -->
---------------------------------------------
Power View used to be limited to tabular data. However, with SQL Server 2014, Power View can now be used with multidimensional models (OLAP cubes) and can create a variety of data visualizations including tables, matrices, bubble charts, and geographical maps. Power View multidimensional models also support queries using Data Analysis Expressions (DAX).

7. Power BI for Office 365 Integration -->
------------------------------------------
Power BI for Office 365 is a cloud-based business intelligence (BI) solution that provides data navigation and visualization capabilities. Power BI for Office 365 includes Power Query (formerly code-named Data Explorer), Power Map (formerly code-named GeoFlow), Power Pivot, and Power View. You can learn more about Power BI at Microsoft’s Power BI for Office 365 site.

8. SQL Server Data Tools for Business Intelligence -->
------------------------------------------------------
The new SQL Server Data Tools for BI (SSDT-BI) is used to create SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) models, SSRS reports, and SSIS packages. The new SSDT-BI supports SSAS and SSRS for SQL Server 2014 and earlier, but SSIS projects are limited to SQL Server 2014. In the pre-release version of SQL Server 2014, SQL Server Setup doesn’t install SSDT-BI. Instead, you must download SSDT-BI separately from the Microsoft Download Center.

9. Backup Encryption -->
------------------------
One welcome addition to SQL Server 2014 is the ability to encrypt database backups for at-rest data protection. SQL Server 2014 supports several encryption algorithms, including Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 128, AES 192, AES 256, and Triple DES. You must use a certificate or an asymmetric key to perform encryption for SQL Server 2014 backups.

10. SQL Server Managed Backup to Windows Azure -->
--------------------------------------------------
SQL Server 2014’s native backup supports Windows Azure integration. Although I’m not entirely convinced that I would want to depend on an Internet connection to restore my backups, on-premises SQL Server 2014 and Windows Azure virtual machine (VM) instances support backing up to Windows Azure storage. The Windows Azure backup integration is also fully built into SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS).

Roles of a Good Software Developer

John Carmack the creator of Quake and Doom said once that he’s learning a lot recently. He has been developing software for over 20 years and is the king of this field. I was thinking that he knew everything already. He is the grand daddy of game engines. What can anyone teach him?

That’s the beauty of being a developer. You never stop learning and the minute that you do, you stagnate; you get stuck in a project or a job that you end up hating. Or it causes your eventual burnout. Change is constant, as a software developer if you don’t embrace change then it ends up being your worst enemy. There are some virtues that make a developer stand out among the rest :

Keep Learning

This is a universal truth of any human being that every people should keep learning. Although, for a software developer it means that he must keep learning new languages, frameworks, design patterns, or algorithms. If you don’t, then how can you get to know about the changes happening in the world? How do you know which tool is right for the job. It’s like a painter only using a thick brush throughout his life. Or a photographer taking pictures with just one lens. Would you want to be stuck using a language or framework that’s been obsolete for 8 years? Do you want to be the last one providing support for something obsolete? Probably not, you want to keep your skills sharp so you can work on the next generation solutions to existing problems.

Challenge Yourself

Part of learning is challenging yourself to get out of your comfort zone. Part of that learning is also putting what you learned to practice. Build something with what you learned and only then will it stick. When Apple released Swift, I started reading and watching everything that came my way. Sometimes it felt like my brain was going to explode. Not until I started building apps with Swift that it all started to make sense. I began with a simple FizzBuzz example then made a silly little game. Next up, I am re-writing an old app with a lot of moving parts. Until I figure out how to tackle problems head-on with this new tool no amount of reading is going to do me any good. It’s like a carpenter with a new power tool, just reading the manual is not going to cut it. He needs to get into his shop and make something and it doesn't matter what he makes.

Re factor Your Code

Have you ever hacked code together from bits and pieces found on the web only to serve a piping hot mess? Yeah, we have all done it and we've had great reason for doing it. Deadlines make us do things that we would normally not do if we were given the time to craft a masterpiece. I’m not talking about perfection. I don’t think code is ever perfect but I do think code can be elegant. It’s about accepting that you wrote terrible code and being brave enough to throw it away and start from scratch. Maybe not all the code, maybe just a part of it that will make more sense later when you come back to it. Some code lives for a really long time. Think about the people that would have to maintain it long after you have moved on.

Teach

The best way to learn is when you need to explain a concept to another. It forces you gain an understanding of the topic or concept in a way that would have never made sense if were just trying to learn. You don’t necessarily have to address a large audience it could simply be a friend. Teaching comes in a variety of forms such as: writing a blog post, presenting at a local meetup, doing a code review or answering a question on a forum.

Trend is not a Friend

Don’t get caught up in the latest trends. There is a lot of debate raging about which are the best framework or which is the hottest language. Certainly, take the time to learn them but don’t get caught up in taking sides of an argument or allying with a piece of technology because what’s hot today maybe not be tomorrow. Pick the tool that is right for the job that makes the most sense for your project and team.

Need of CRM software if you have a business

It is true that in previous scenario business are running and even achieving success without any Software and website. Then in present world why everyone is running to get software or website for their business?



There are few point which can give you the answer :

Trust factor :

         Business professionals used to have faith in their employees in 90's. But in present world they only have faith on machines.

Range of Business :

        In today's world people would like to spread their business worldwide to grab more customers(doesn't matter if they didn't get), because competition grows hundred times now.

Cost Effective :

        In a traditional set-up, businesses issue purchase orders (PO) to suppliers to confirm purchase of items. Post delivery, the supplier issues an invoice to bill the business for the items delivered. Typically, the job of the store manager is to match the PO against the invoice to see if there is any discrepancy in the items required versus what was delivered. Although this is an insignificant process in the whole scheme of things, the fact that this is manual results in this being a slow, error-prone process. An ERP system swiftly validates the order delivery against the requirement while minimizing the errors that could potentially occur during this operation
