Since its release back in April, SQL Server experts across the globe are becoming familiar with the top features in Microsoft SQL Server 2014—the In-Memory OLTP engine, the AlwaysOn enhancements, and more. But we couldn’t help but notice that there are a few features that aren’t getting the same attention. Warner Chaves, a Microsoft Certified Master and SQL Server Principal Consultant at Pythian has filmed a video series sharing the most underrated features of SQL Server 2014.
In his final video in the series, Warner discusses SQL Server 2014’s parallel implementation of the SELECT INTO statement. In previous versions of SQL Server, it was always a one-threaded operation, using only one CPU—the new feature however, uses multiple threads.“This makes the operation a lot faster and a lot more efficient.” Warner says. Learn common use cases and how to enable the new feature by watching his video The Most Underrated Features of SQL Server 2014 — Part 3 down below.
