Introduction
The velocity of change for the Microsoft SQL Server DBA has increased this decade. The span
between the releases of SQL Server 2016 and 2017 was only 16 months, the fastest new release
ever. Gone are the days when DBAs had between three to five years to soak in and adjust to new
features in the engine and surrounding technologies.
This book is written and edited by SQL Server experts with two goals in mind: to deliver a solid
foundational skillset for all of the topics covered in SQL Server configuration and administration,
and also to deliver awareness and functional, practical knowledge for the dramatic number
of new features introduced in SQL Server 2016 and 2017. We haven’t avoided new content—
even content that stretched the boundaries of writing deadlines with late-breaking new releases.
You will be presented with not only the “how” of new features, but also the “why” and the
“when” for their use.
