Using this feature, you can also allow the client-sideĭevelopers (using. Time because developers no longer need to worry about constructing and parsing The table parameter feature greatly helps to reduce the development Introduces a new feature to pass a table datatype into stored procedures andįunctions. SqlDataReader myreader = mycommand.ExecuteReader() Ĭonsole.WriteLine("ID=", id, myudt) įeature -5 Passing tables to functions or procedures using new Table-Value parameters SqlCommand mycommand = new SqlCommand(mycommandString) SqlConnection myconnection = new SqlConnection(myconnectionString, mycommandString) // myconnectionString and UDT data from a SQL server 2008 database.
The following C# code snipped shows how to retrieve large Using Common Language Runtime (CLR), now SQL Server 2008 supports binary data that's In SQL Server 2008, this restriction has been removed. Were first introduced with SQL server 2005 but were restricted to a maximum T following SQL script shows howĬolumn4 xml column_set for all_sparse_columnsįeature -4 Large UDTs in SQL server 2008 (ADO.NET) InĪddition, you cannot define a column as sparse if it is configured with certainĭatatypes, such as TEXT, IMAGE, or TIMESTAMP. Properties, cannot include a default and cannot be bound to a rule. It must be nullable and cannot be configured with the ROWGUIDCOL or IDENTITY If you decide to implement a sparse column, When aĬolumn value contains a substantial number of null values, defining the columnĪs sparse saves a significant amount of disk space. Optimizes storage for null values, is introduced in SQL Server 2008. SELECT SWITCHOFFSET(SYSDATETIMEOFFSET (), '+00:00') 'GetCurrentOffSet+0' SELECT SWITCHOFFSET(SYSDATETIMEOFFSET(), '-04:00') 'GetCurrentOffSet-4' SELECT SYSDATETIMEOFFSET() GetCurrentOffSet The stored time zone offset to a specified new time zone offset. SWITCHOFFSET returns a datetimeoffset value that is changed from Select SYSUTCDATETIME () will show output ' Known as Greenwich Mean Time within an accuracy of 10 milliseconds.
SYSUTCDATETIME returns the Universal Coordinated Time that is The SYSDATETIMEOFFSET function works like SYSDATETIME but the only difference System timestamp without the time zone, with an accuracy of 10 milliseconds.
The SYSDATETIME function returns the present Adding to that In SQL Server 2008, five newįunctions were introduced: SYSDATETIME, SYSDATETIMEOFFSET, SYSUTCDATETIME In SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2000 there are few functions to The usage of the DATETIMEOFFSET datatype. Thisĭatatype will be required when you are keeping the date time value of differentĬountries with different time zones in SQL Server. That date and time belong to was also introduced in SQL Server 2008. The new DATETIMEOFFSET datatype, which indicates what time zone the following example shows how to use DATETIME2 In this datatype, you will have an option to specify the number of fractions SQL server 2008 also introduced a new datatype called DATETIME2. PRINT output of the above SQL script is a time only value. TIME datatype is also introduced in SQL server 2008. (), no time component is added with the output. PRINT output from the above SQL query is the present date only With introduction of DATE datatype the above problem SELECT * FROM tblMyDate Where = ' 11:00 PM'
To make it work you need to specify both date and Have only specified the date value in the where clause. Or SMALLDATETIME fields if you only specify a data value in the where clause.įor example the following SQL query will not work in SQL server 2005 as you In addition, search functionality doesn't work on DATETIME
Types to store datetime values but there was no specific datatype to store date In SQL Server 2005, there were DATETIME or SMALLDATETIME data Feature -1 Change's in the DATE and TIME DataTypes This article discusses the new top 10 developer features Productivity by providing seamless integration between frameworks, dataĬonnectivity technologies, programming languages, Web services, development Many new developer features were introduced in SQL Server 2008ĭatabase to facilitate robust database development. This article covers the top 10 developer features introduced in SQL server 2008. SQL server 2008 improves developer productivity by providing seamless integration between frameworks, data connectivity technologies, programming languages, Web services, development tools and data.
