Introducing SQL Server 2005
To help you become familiar with SQL Server 2005, this chapter focuses on the key ingredients of
the software. This chapter also outlines differences between different editions of the software
before diving into particulars on the topics of architecture, database objects, databases, database
storage, and server security. The chapter concludes with a brief look at the historical evolution of
SQL Server.

What Is SQL Ser ver 2005?
As you most likely know, SQL Server 2005 is primarily thought of as a Relational Database
Management System (RDBMS). It is certainly that, but it is also much more.
Management System (RDBMS). It is certainly that, but it is also much more.
SQL Server 2005 can be more accurately described as an Enterprise Data Platform. It offers many
new features, and even more enhanced or improved features from previous editions of the prod-
uct. In addition to traditional RDBMS duty, SQL Server 2005 also provides rich reporting capabili-
ties, powerful data analysis, and data mining, as well as features that support asynchronous data
applications, data-driven event notification, and more.

This book is primarily focused on the administration of the Database Engine. However, as men-
tioned, SQL Server 2005 includes many more features than just the relational engine. In light of
that, it is important to start with some point of common reference. This section introduces the fea-
tures of SQL Server 2005. It is not meant to be all-inclusive, but it will provide the context for the
remainder of the book.

Later chapters go into greater detail and delve into the technologies behind each feature and how
they affect you, the database administrator. SQL Server 2005 is such an enormous product that no
one book could possibly cover every feature in detail, so some features will only be covered briefly
as an introduction, while the core administrative features will be described in greater detail.
