NEWS! NEWS! SQL Server Management Studio 19.0 Preview 2 ..the news that it bring to us!

Hi Guys,

Welcome to this post!

A few days ago (it was the 05-24-2022) the SQL Server Management Studio 19.0 (Preview 2) has been released.

The integrated environment for managing your SQL Server infrastructure changes its major version from 18 to 19!

Take this journey to discover what's new with me!
We will see all the news.

Enjoy!


SQL Server Management Studio 19.0 (Preview 2)  

 

One of the unwritten laws of the disclosure says that when a software change its major version, something of big it has to be there!

We look at the change log, to see if so ..

This is the list of changes:


 

As it already happened from version 18 the installation of the Management Studio install also the last Azure Data Studio. 
This new preview version of the SMSS install the Azure Data Studio Version 1.36.2 
 
Speaking of Always Encrypted technology, there is also the possibility to choose the protocol:

SQL Server Management Studio 19.0 Preview 2


From this version the connection of the SMSS to the database engine will happen through the Microsoft.Data.SQLClient package.

Added the support for the Contained Always on availability group
We will find this checkbox under Always on High Availability.

I have never blogged on Data Classification but i will do in future.

Speaking about Data Classification the user interface is changed.

SQL Server Management Studio 19.0 Preview 2

We have a new voice "Set Microsoft Information Protection Policy" and there are some modifications to the interface.

And now we come to the ledger .
Ledgers are a major new feature being added to SQL Server that brings it closer to the world of blockchains.

We will talk about what ledgers are shortly in a future post.

This new SSMS 19.0 bring us the support for Ledger feature in a Database ledger.
This ledger feature provides tamper-evidence capabilities in the database

 

Checks for open connection are improved in the Query Execution or Results. However these changes are not visible from the interface. 


Unlike what is written I do not see any difference with my eyes on the interface of the Query Tuning Advisor tool:

Finally speaking about showplan. 
 
This version of the SSMS bring us a new file showplanxml.xsd.  
This file is changed to reflect what is new of SQL Server 2022.
 
We have a showplanxml.xsd for each SQL server version..


SQL Server Management Studio 19.0 Preview 2

This xsd file represents the structure of all the attributes that the execution plan makes visible.

Below is the only first difference obtained by comparing the showplamxml file of SQL 2019 and SQL 2022.

    Is it just me or does installing SSMS 19 Preview 2 end up removing ability to view and modify manage Maintenance Plans?

SQL Server, execution plan and the lazy spool (clearly explained)

Image
Hi Guys, Welcome back! In one of the last posts we talked about Table Spool . We had explained what Spool are for by telling the somewhat curious story of the halloween problem . Here we specifically talked about a type of spool called Eager Spool   You can look to the execution plan below where the eager Spool is used to avoid the halloween problem in classic query of the "salary increase".. i suggest Well, if the story of the eager spool intrigued you, today instead we will speak about another type of Spool, the Lazy Spool . The Lazy spool Let's take a small step back. So, what is a Spool operation?  As we have already understood a spool operation is simply a temporary storage of data . Data are read from a source table and stored inside a worktable in the Tempdb database . While an Eager Spool is used to prevent the Halloween problem, the Lazy Spool is instead used to store data that will later be needed again when running a query . So, when a Lazy spool is used?  ...

SQL Server, datetime vs. datetime2

Image
Hi guys, This time, in this post we will speak about datetime and datetime2 datatypes. We will talk about the pros and cons. We will talk about all the differences between the two types of data. Write me in the comments which type of data do you prefer between the two. Enjoy the reading!     Datetime Vs. Datetime2 First of all, it must be said that the datatype datetime is certainly the best known native format for storing a date in SQL Server. However, Microsoft has also been introducing a new type of data for many years now, also used to manage dates. It is in fact from SQL server 2008 that it is present in datetime2 data type. This "new" type of data was born primarily to have higher accuracy . Let's in fact talk about ... precision ! Datetime Certainly the datetime data type is not very precise and certainly there are many cases in which its precision is simply not sufficient. Let's see it with an example. Open the SQL Management studio (SSMS) and write the fo...

La clausola NOLOCK. Approfondiamo e facciamo chiarezza!

Image
Ehi ragazzi! La domanda è di quelle importanti! Siete pronti per scoprire tutto ma proprio tutto sulla clausola NOLOCK?   Se la riposta è si, allora seguitemi! Oggi ne spiegheremo il funzionamento in maniera approfondita. Faremo una introduzione al concetto di tipi di LOCK Ed infine vedremo come mai una SELECT ne può bloccare un'altra. Non vi nascondo che il motivo di questo articolo è fare chiarezza. Su questo argomento si sentono spesso affermazioni “curiose” ma tra le tante questa è la prima: “ uso la SELECT con l’opzione WITH(LOCK) così non blocco le altre tabelle ”.   Ma, è proprio vero quanto affermato? Beh oggi facciamo il punto!   Buona lettura!     La clausola NOLOCK Diciamo subito per iniziare che cos’è la NOLOCK. NOLOCK è il nome di una clausola che è possibile specificare all’interno di uno statement di tipo SELECT utilizzando la seguente sintassi: SELECT * FROM TABELLA WITH (NOLOCK) Si noti che non possiamo ...
