Query Store
One of the new features being added to SQL Server 2016 is the Query Store which will allow for greater access to the performance history of your databases. This is going to be extremely helpful when you are approached about ‘What happened this morning?’ With the Query Store feature, you will now be able to provide some insight into that question.
I chat with Borko Novakovic, the program manager for Query Store feature, and he shares with you, Compañeros, details about the new feature and how those interested in performance monitoring will be able to use this for their benefit.
Even if you aren’t going to run SQL Server 2016 as soon as it comes out, you will find this information interesting and I hope it helps you along the SQL trail. Have fun out there.
