SQL Server 2025 - AI ready enterprise database from ground to cloud
The new version of SQL Server is designed to be an AI-ready enterprise database platform, integrating seamlessly from ground to cloud to Fabric. In this blog, we will explore the key features and enhancements that make SQL Server 2025 a game-changer for developers, database administrators, and organizations. The new capabilities build upon more than three decades of SQL Server innovation in performance, availability, reliability, and security, adding a host of new features that empower developers, protect data, and enable seamless analytics through the Microsoft Fabric integration. AI integration SQL Server 2025 offers features to support enterprise applications. This version integrates AI with customer data using AI capabilities within the SQL engine, ensuring that AI models remain isolated securely. The built-in vector data type allows hybrid AI vector searches, combining vectors with SQL data for efficient and accurate data retrieval. This integration facilitates AI application development and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) patterns, and AI Agents using the familiar T-SQL syntax. The new vector data type stores vector embeddings alongside relational data, enabling semantically related searches within SQL Server. New vector functions perform operations on vectors in binary format, enabling applications to store and manipulate vectors directly within the SQL database engine. SQL Server 2025 includes T-SQL functions that provide the necessary tools for working with embeddings, without requiring detailed knowledge of their usage. Vectors enable AI models to identify similar data using the K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm, with metrics like dot product or cosine similarity. To enhance scalability, SQL Server 2025 incorporates Approximate Vector Index and Vector Search, leveraging Approximate Nearest Neighbors (ANN) for faster, resource-efficient, and accurate results. SQL Server 2025 introduces advanced AI model management capabilities designed to enhance the efficiency and security of interacting with Azure OpenAI and other AI models. SQL Server 2025 provides options for deploying AI models either on-premises or in the cloud, with compatibility for Azure OpenAI, OpenAI endpoints, and Ollama. With all these capabilities, SQL Server 2025's hybrid search represents a paradigm shift in how organizations access and utilize data. Through a blend of keyword and vector searches, businesses can unlock deeper insights, improve customer satisfaction, and harness the full potential of their data assets. Our customer, Kramer & Crew GmbH & Co, who participated in our Early Adoption Program (EAP) aka private preview shared us below. "Joining the EAP was a great opportunity to explore the new AI, security, performance, Fabric, and Azure Arc features! With the new semantic search and RAG capabilities in SQL Server 2025, we can empower existing GenAI solutions with data embeddings to create next-generation, more intelligent AI applications. By connecting systems (e.g., ITSM, CRM, ERP, and others), we deliver a seamless, natural conversational experience across enterprise environments." Markus Angenendt, Data Platform Infrastructure Lead, Kramer & Crew GmbH & Co. KG Developer productivity SQL Server 2025 introduces several exciting developer features designed to enhance developer productivity. New GitHub Copilot: GitHub Copilot transforms coding with AI-driven suggestions, streamlining workflows and enhancing efficiency. Its agent mode proposes edits, tests, and validates changes, enabling developers to focus on complex tasks. SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) 21: Releasing SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) 21, for general availability (GA). SSMS 21 includes support for SQL Server 2025. The Copilot in SSMS – now available in preview. New Python Driver: The Python driver for SQL Server and Azure SQL offers efficient, asynchronous connectivity across platforms like Windows, Linux, and macOS. It's designed to simplify development and enhance performance for data-driven applications. Standard Developer Edition: SQL Server 2025 Standard Developer Edition is a free edition licensed for development and test purposes. The intent is to enable all features of SQL Server Standard Edition to facilitate the development and testing of new applications that use the Standard Edition in production. This edition complements the existing Enterprise Developer Edition. JSON data type and aggregates: SQL Server 2025 includes a native JSON data type, allowing for more efficient storage and manipulation of JSON data up to 2GB storage per JSON document. This type supports various JSON aggregate functions to facilitate the aggregation of JSON data. Queries over JSON documents can be optimized by creating a JSON index and using JSON functions and methods to modify and search data natively. Regular expressions (RegEx): SQL Server 2025 introduces support for Regular Expressions (RegEx), providing powerful tools for developers to efficiently query and manipulate text data, better matching pattern than “LIKE” operator. External REST endpoint invocation: The sp_invoke_external_rest_endpoint stored procedure allows for the native invocation of any REST endpoints directly from within T-SQL, enabling seamless integration with external web services. Change event streaming (CES): Enables real-time data integration by streaming data changes directly from SQL Server to Azure Event Hubs with Kafka compatibility, facilitating near real-time analytics and event-driven architecture based on Transaction log. Consider using Change Event Streaming for CDC as it eliminates the need for I/O operations, offering a more efficient and streamlined solution for developers. New T-SQL functions: Several new T-SQL functions introduced to simplify complex queries and increase workload performance. For example, the PRODUCT() aggregate function calculates the product of a set of values. New Chinese collations: Support for GB18030-2022 collation standard. Overall, these developer-centric enhancements in SQL Server 2025 streamline the process of building modern, AI powered and data-rich applications. They reduce the need for custom code and encourage a more declarative, in-database approach to data processing, which can lead to simpler architecture and better performance. “The introduction of the new PRODUCT() aggregate function in SQL Server 2025 has streamlined this process, reducing code complexity while improving computational efficiency by over 30%. This enhancement accelerates key economic calculations, including the computation of the U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and also strengthens organizations’ ability to deliver timely, accurate data to policymakers and to the public." -- David Rozenshtein and Sandip Mehta, IT Modernization Architects, Omnicom Consulting Group” Secure by default SQL Server 2025 delivers a range of advanced security features designed to enhance data protection, authentication, and encryption. Here are the key security enhancements. Stop using client secrets and passwords: SQL Server 2025 supports managed identity authentication enabled by Azure Arc. This feature allows secure authentication for outbound connections to Azure resources and inbound connections for external users. For example, backup to Azure Blob Storage can now use SQL Server managed identity for authentication. Stronger encryption: To protect the key material of a symmetric key SQL Server stores the key material in encrypted form. Historically, this encryption utilized PKCS#1 v1.5 padding mode; Optimized starting with SQL Server 2025, the encryption uses Optimal Asymmetric Encryption Padding (OAEP) for encryption by certificate or asymmetric key. Stronger password encryption: To store a SQL user password we use an iterated hash algorithm, RFC2898, also known as a password-based key derivation function (PBKDF). This algorithm uses SHA-512 hash but hashes the password multiple times (100,000 iterations), significantly slowing down brute-force attacks. This change enhances password protection in response to evolving security threats and helps customers comply with NIST SP 800-63b guidelines. Strict connection encryption: The implementation of Extended TDS 8.0 support and TLS 1.3 for stringent encryption protocols enhances the security of internal component communications within SQL Server 2025. Optimized security cache: When security cache entries are invalidated, only those entries belonging to the impacted login are affected. This minimizes the impact on non-cache permissions validation for unaffected login users. In summary, SQL Server 2025 continues the product’s legacy of top-notch security by incorporating modern identity and encryption practices. By embracing Azure AD, managed identities, and stronger cryptography by default, it helps organizations avoid vulnerabilities and meet compliance requirements more easily, protecting data both at rest and in motion. Mission critical database engine SQL Server 2025 introduces significant performance and reliability enhancements designed to optimize workload efficiency and reduce troubleshooting efforts. Utilize insights gained from prior executions of expressions within queries enhance the performance of future executions. Optional parameter plan optimization helps SQL Server choose the optimal execution plan based on runtime parameter values, reducing performance issues caused by parameter sniffing. Optimized locking improves concurrency by avoiding blocking and lock escalation and reduces lock memory usage. Enhancements in batch mode processing and columnstore indexes further improve SQL Server as a mission-critical database for analytical workloads. Query Store for readable secondaries allows you to monitor and adjust the performance of read-only workloads executing against secondary replicas. In SQL Server 2025 this is enabled by default. Persisted temporary statistics for readable secondaries are now saved to the primary replica, ensuring permanence and avoiding recreation after restarts, which could degrade performance. A new query hint blocks future execution of problematic queries, such as nonessential queries affecting application performance. Optimized Halloween protection reduces tempdb space consumption and improves performance of data modification queries. Tempdb space resource governance improves reliability by restricting workloads from consuming excessive tempdb space. Accelerated database recovery in tempdb provides instantaneous transaction rollback and aggressive log truncation for transactions in tempdb. Fast failover for persistent health issues: The Windows Failover Cluster (WSFC) can be configured to failover the availability group resource promptly upon detection of a persistent health issue for example long I/O . Enhancements have been made to the undo-of-redo process during disaster recovery failover to asynchronous replicas, improving synchronization performance. Internal synchronization mechanisms have been improved to reduce network saturation when the global primary and forwarder replicas are in asynchronous commit mode. Improved health check time-out diagnostics. Configure a distributed availability group between two contained availability groups. The new backup compression algorithm, ZSTD, provides significant enhancements in compression efficiency while utilizing fewer resources. You can now offload FULL, DIFFERENTIAL, and T-LOG backups to a secondary replica in an Always On Availability Group, freeing your primary replica to handle production workloads. Fabric integration and Analytics Database mirroring to Fabric can continuously replicate data from a database in a SQL Server 2025 instance, on-premises or in virtual machines. A mirrored database item is a read-only, continuously replicated copy of your SQL Server database data in OneLake. SQL Server now natively supports querying CSV, Parquet, and Delta files using OPENROWSET, CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE, or CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE commands, without needing PolyBase Query Service. SQL Server on Linux tmfs filesystem is supported for tempdb in SQL Server 2025 on Linux. This enhancement can improve performance for tempdb-heavy workloads by utilizing memory (RAM) instead of disk-based filesystems. Custom password policy enforces a custom password policy for SQL authentication logins in SQL Server on Linux. PolyBase in SQL Server for Linux can now connect to ODBC data sources. Discontinued services Data Quality Services (DQS) is discontinued in this version of SQL Server. We continue to support DQS in SQL Server 2022 (16.x) and earlier versions. Master Data Services (MDS) is discontinued in this version of SQL Server. We continue to support MDS in SQL Server 2022 (16.x) and earlier versions.

SQL Server 2025: introducing optimized Halloween protection
Executive summary Optimized Halloween protection, available in the public preview of SQL Server 2025 starting with the CTP 2.0 release, reduces tempdb space consumption and improves query performance by redesigning the way the database engine solves the Halloween problem. An example in the appendix shows CPU and elapsed time of a query reduced by about 50% while eliminating all tempdb space consumption. Update 2025-09-02 During public preview of SQL Server 2025, we identified a potential data integrity issue that might occur if optimized Halloween protection is enabled. While the probability of encountering this issue is low, we take data integrity seriously. Therefore, we temporarily removed optimized Halloween protection from SQL Server 2025, starting with the RC 0 release. The fix for this issue is in progress. In the coming months, we plan to make optimized Halloween protection available in Azure SQL Database and Azure SQL Managed Instance with the always-up-to-date update policy. Enabling optimized Halloween protection in a future SQL Server 2025 update is under consideration as well. The Halloween problem The Halloween problem, named so because it was discovered on Halloween in 1976, occurs when a data modification language (DML) statement changes data in such a way that the same statement unexpectedly processes the same row more than once. Traditionally, the SQL Server database engine protects DML statements from the Halloween problem by introducing a spool operator in the query plan, or by taking advantage of another blocking operator already present in the plan, such as a sort or a hash match. If a spool operator is used, it creates a temporary copy of the data to be modified before any modifications are made to the data in the table. While the protection spool avoids the Halloween problem, it comes with downsides: The spool requires extra resources: space in tempdb, disk I/O, memory, and CPU. Statement processing by the downstream query operators is blocked until the data is fully written into the spool. The spool adds query plan complexity that can cause the query optimizer to generate a less optimal plan. Optimized Halloween protection removes these downsides by making the spool operator unnecessary. How it works When accelerated database recovery (ADR) is enabled, each statement in a transaction obtains a unique statement identifier, known as nest ID. As each row is modified by a DML statement, it is stamped with the nest ID of the statement. This is required to provide the ACID transaction semantics with ADR. During DML statement processing, when the storage engine reads the data, it skips any row that has the same nest ID as the current DML statement. This means that the query processor doesn't see the rows already processed by the statement, therefore avoiding the Halloween problem. How to use optimized Halloween protection To enable optimized Halloween protection for a database, the following prerequisites are required: ADR must be enabled on the database. The database must use compatibility level 170. The OPTIMIZED_HALLOWEEN_PROTECTION database-scoped configuration must be enabled. The OPTIMIZED_HALLOWEEN_PROTECTION database-scoped configuration is enabled by default. This means that when you enable ADR for a database using compatibility level 170, it will use optimized Halloween protection. You can ensure that a database uses optimized Halloween protection by executing the following statements: ALTER DATABASE [<database-name-placeholder>] SET ACCELERATED_DATABASE_RECOVERY = ON WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE; ALTER DATABASE [<database-name-placeholder>] SET COMPATIBILITY_LEVEL = 170; ALTER DATABASE SCOPED CONFIGURATION SET OPTIMIZED_HALLOWEEN_PROTECTION = ON; You can also enable and disable optimized Halloween protection at the query level by using the ENABLE_OPTIMIZED_HALLOWEEN_PROTECTION and DISABLE_OPTIMIZED_HALLOWEEN_PROTECTION query hints, either directly in the query, or via Query Store hints. These hints work under any compatibility level and take precedence over the OPTIMIZED_HALLOWEEN_PROTECTION database-scoped configuration. When optimized Halloween protection is used for an operator in the query plan, the OptimizedHalloweenProtectionUsed property of the operator in the XML query plan is set to True. For more details, see optimized Halloween protection in documentation. Conclusion Optimized Halloween protection is another Intelligent Query Processing feature that improves query performance and reduces resource consumption when you upgrade to SQL Server 2025, without having to make any changes to your query workloads. We are looking forward to your feedback about this and other features during the public preview of SQL Server 2025 and beyond.
