SQL Server 2016 adds many powerful features, as you'll learn in this demo-packed session. Discover new security features such as dynamic data masking, row-level security, and always encrypted. Other innovative capabilities include "stretch" database (allow select tables in an on-premises database to be transparently relocated in Azure SQL Database), temporal data (enable "time travel" to access data as it existed at any point in time), and integrated JSON support. You'll also learn about Polybase (access Hadoop and Azure Blob Storage with T-SQL), QueryStore (maintain query plan history and performance data), and R integration (an open source data science language).
