FAQ – SQL Server 2025 Training
What is SQL Server 2025?
SQL Server 2025 is the new version of Microsoft’s relational database engine. It brings built-in generative AI capabilities, tighter integration with Azure and Fabric, improved performance and new security features. MFE-IT trains DBAs and developers to leverage these new features in on-premises and hybrid environments.
What are the main new features in SQL Server 2025?
SQL Server 2025 notably introduces native vector search for AI use cases (RAG), stronger integration with Azure Arc and Fabric, T-SQL improvements (JSON, regular expressions), new security options (Ledger, Always Encrypted) and engine optimizations. The MFE-IT training details these additions with hands-on cases.
Should you migrate to SQL Server 2025?
Migration is relevant if you want to benefit from native vector AI, T-SQL enhancements, performance and long-term security support. It requires an application compatibility audit and an upgrade plan. MFE-IT assists you with migration methodology, sizing and best practices.
