[NewsBot]

If you work with SQL Server on a regular basis, either writing custom queries, designing databases, or optimizing queries, this is a must see video as it covers a number of the enhancements to SQL Server 2008 including:

 

- SQL Management Studio improvements including IntelliSense

- New Data Types for just dates or*times (no more storing time when you only need the date)

- New Hierarchical data support .IsDescendent(), that can automatically pull a hierarchical view of data (no more custom recursive queries)

- New Grouping Sets statement which enables you to automatically group dimensions in a query for easy aggregation and reporting

- New Merge statement which provides automatic insert/update semantics for keeping multiple data sources in sync

- New FileStream attribute*that enables you to include files that are stored in the server file system, but can be managed by SQL Server

- New data types and support for Geodata and geometry

- New support for optimizing "empty" or*row/column*tables using the sparse keyword
