Today marks the official birthday of Microsoft SQL Server 2025. Here's where to download the evaluation version. Here are the top things you wanna consider as you talk to your managers, developers, and end users. The feature differences between 2025 Enterprise and Standard have been revealed, and the news for Standard Edition folks is spectacular: it now supports up to 32 CPU cores and 256GB RAM!

My top features of SQL Server 2025 for Business Intelligence
Some time ago, Microsoft announced the release of a new version of SQL Server. This made me happy, mainly because in the storm of everything Fabric, Copilot, and cloud, sturdy technology still has a place, and Microsoft hasn't forgotten that. Companies still rely on on-premises systems that require databases. And running everything on-premises is still an option. Alternatively, organisations seeking complete control over their cloud database typically run a VM with SQL Server installed.

Happened to listen to an old book about the “Great Wrath” (1714-1721), a particularly destructive Russian occupation of what is now #Finland.
Kinda odd hearing traditional runic poem accounts of atrocities much like what is happening in #Ukraine today.

Hey #sqlfamily, if you're heading to @sqlbits.bsky.social in a couple of days, remember that you need an ETA to go to Britain now.
Hey #sqlfamily friends,
Starting April 2nd, 2025, visiting the UK requires an ETA visa waiver, similar to those you need to go to the US, Australia, and other countries.
Don't get stranded at the airport.

Despite its steep licensing costs, SQL Server continues to prove its worth over open-source alternatives in some key areas.
