The article is also featured on the cover of the November 2008 print edition of the publication. A quote from Don&#8217;s article reads, \u201cSQL Server 2008 is not a fundamental rewrite of its predecessors. Instead, Microsoft has built upon what&#8217;s good and solid in SQL Server 2005 and added some exciting new productivity features and many general enhancements that make the software more useful for supporting a wider variety of applications.\u201d. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/redmondmag.com\/features\/article.asp?editorialsid=2571\">Click here to read Don Kiely&#8217;s the full article.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Not to be outdone, Eric Johnson from the same magazine takes readers through some of the benefits he feels SQL Server 2008 delivers. A quote from Eric reads &#8220;Unlike using data compression, I have no reservations about using backup compression. Saving disk space on the drive where you store your backups is great, but the smaller file size on individual backups is fantastic.&#8221;. About T-SQL improvements, he goes on to write, &#8220;The new MERGE statement in SQL Server 2008 makes me just a little giddy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/redmondmag.com\/features\/article.asp?editorialsid=2560\">Click here to read Eric Johnson&#8217;s full article.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don Kiely from Redmond Developer Magazine wrote an article entitled \u201cInside SQL Server 2008,\u201d that highlights the new features of SQL Server 2008.
