SQL Server 2012: New Business Intelligence features — 5 Comments

  1. Hi James, nice work on the list. I agree with most all of them, though with #8 the fact that you don’t get columnstore indexes, a key component of a solid DW strategy, to me means that it doesn’t contain ‘all the BI-related features’.

    • Thanks Steve, glad you like the list. I have to agree with you on columnstore indexes being a major missing BI feature in the BI edition. I guess MS needed some reason for companies to upgrade to the Enterprise version 🙂

  2. #6: SSMS is integrated in SSDT? OK, they both use the Visual Studio shell, but they are still both seperate tools, aren’t they?

    • Hi Koen,

      To clarify, SSDT added features that are in SSMS – they are still separate tools and most dba’s are better off continuing to use SSMS. SSDT uses the Visual Studio shell, but SSMS does not.
