A Technical Overview of Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2005 Beta 2

Agenda

• 64-Bit Database Platform• Microsoft SQL 2005

– Introduction– Manageability

What is 64-bit?

• The term, 64-bit, refers to the size of the addresses the processor uses to organize the systems main memory

• Addressable Memory is the key benefit to SQL Server

Itanium Processor Family• Itanium (IPF) Architecture

– More than just large memory addressability– EPIC – Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing

• Compiler enhancements – Predication – execute both sides of a branch in parallel,

only the “real” side actually completes execution– Speculation – run code before branch direction is

computed, check results later, and clean up as needed• More instructions per cycle

– On-chip Cache • 6MB L3

– Improved Bus architecture• Faster and wider• 128-bit at 6.4Gb/sec

What does it mean?MEMORY

Ability to address more physical memory (RAM) and improved on-chip memory management.

PARALLELISMEnhanced SMP parallelism, as well as single processor parallelism

THROUGHPUTIncreased bus architecture and better I/O bandwidth offering faster and wider throughput

Cost Savings

Scalability

The highly scalable database platform for memory intensive, performance-critical business applications

Manageability

Optimized for Windows Server 2003 Support for AMD Opteron & Intel Itanium with

Beta 2 Intel EM64T coming with Beta 3

Great performance Large memory addressability (up to 32 TB) Nearly unlimited virtual memory (up to 8 TB) I/O savings due to larger memory buffer pools

T-SQL code-compatibility with SQL Server 2000

8 node clustering support Same on-disk format as 32-bit for easy

migration 64bit support for relational engine and BI

Compelling alternative to expensive Unix

Benefits for SQL Server 64-bitHigh-performance computingBenefits for SQL Server 64-bitHigh-performance computing

Is this the server platform for me?• Most SQL workloads happy with 2-3 GB of memory• But, if your application ….

– …is very I/O intensive and has a working set greater than 4GB that can be loaded in memory for faster processing …

– …consumes a lot of CPU time issuing I/O…– Then SQL Server 2000 64-bit can potentially improve the

performance of your database application.

What is the good candidate for SQL 64-Bit? • Data warehousing and analysis (DSS)• Global-scale Web services• E-commerce applications with an unbounded number

of users• Statistical modeling and analysis• Geo-spatial applications

Compatibility• Maintains T-SQL code-compatibility with SQL

Server 2000 32-bit releases– Same SQL Server 2000 code base plus service pack

fixes and performance enhancements No changes in database file format No changes in data type support

• No changes in client apps when connecting to a 64-bit backend and a 32-bit backend
