2. My favorite Beyond Relational Application
Structured and
unstructured Search
Related/”Semantic”
Search

3. Beyond Relational Data
Building and Maintaining Applications with
relational and non-relational data is hard
Pain Complex integration
Points Duplicated functionality
Compensation for unavailable services
Reduce the cost of managing all data
Simplify the development of applications
Goals over all data
Provide management and programming
services for all data

4. What is the Beyond Relational Mission?
Efficient storage for all data
 Tables, XML, Spatial, Documents, Digital Media, Scientific Records,
Factoids…
Rich Data Processing Capabilities for all applications
 Data formats and content natively understood for rich application and
user experience
 Consistent Application Model and Data Constructs to ease application
development, migration and long-term retention
Rich Capabilities and Services over all data
 Provide rich services, e.g.,
 Query and Reason over data and extracted semantics
 Search across structural impedance of different data formats
 Integrated backup/restore for all data

10. Beyond Relational in SQL Server 2012
Address important customer requests for Capabilities and rich
services for Rich Unstructured Data (RUDS)
 Scale Up for storage and search to 100m to 500m documents
 Easy use/access to Unstructured data from all applications
 Rich insight into unstructured data to make better decisions
We deliver what you asked for to build Spatial-aware
Applications
 Advanced 2D Spatial
 Make Spatial pervasive across platform
