/in , , /by

Workhorse 7006869978_cb337bb7da_zSQL Server 2014 is a new breed of workhorse in the Microsoft stables. Last week I attended a webcast given by Mike Otey, Senior Consultant for SQL Server Pro magazine and President of TECA Inc., in which he highlights the amazing new and improved features offered by the Enterprise Edition of 2014.

If you haven’t had a chance to start investigating SQL Server 2014 yet, this is a quick (and painless) way to get started. Mike will give you plenty of reason to research further, and if you’re considering a move to 2014 Enterprise, this will help orient you to the 2014 feature set.

Mike’s webcast, along with presentations from his colleagues at Cisco, is available on demand for the next year at

Making the Jump from SQL Server 2000 to 2014 – IT AIN’T EASY!

An Unexpected Journey: SQL Server 2000 to 2014

 

Making the jump from SQL Server 2000 to 2014 — this was an unexpected journey, not for me, but for my client. For nearly 15 years they’d been using SQL Server 2000 as their main production system, and they were happy to do so. Not much changed in their business model, and the database management system was sufficient.

And then their world was rocked. With the obsolescence of the Windows operation system that hosted SQL Server 2000, and knowing that SQL Server 2000 would not function properly on any of the modern versions of the Windows operating systems,

THEY HAD TO DO SOMETHING.

The attached handouts are slides and notes from a presentation that I gave on February 11th, 2015, for the Denver Women in Technology group. I hope you enjoy the preso, and more importantly, I hope you get value from it.
