New free preview eBook from Microsoft Press!

With Microsoft SQL Server 2016, a variety of new features and enhancements to the data platform deliver breakthrough performance, advanced security, and richer, integrated reporting and analytics capabilities. In this Preview Edition ebook, we introduce three new security features: Always Encrypted, Row-Level Security, and dynamic data masking; discuss enhancements that enable you to better manage performance and storage: TempDB configuration, query store, and Stretch Database; and we review several improvements to Reporting Services. This book is a Preview Edition because it’s not complete; the final edition will be available in Spring of 2016.
