By integrating directly with other Microsoft BackOffice applications, Microsoft SQL Server is the best platform for the new generation of client-server applications. To learn more about Microsoft SQL Server, take a look at our executive summary. There are three ways to get Microsoft SQL Server 6.5: 1.Order it from an authorized Microsoft reseller. 2.Sign up for the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) program. 3.Download an evaluation copy for FREE* for 120 days. Note: Microsoft SQL Server 6.5 is scheduled to be available from resellers in April. To find a reseller near you in the U.S. call 1-800-426-9400. For the location of resellers worldwide, call the Microsoft office nearest you. *FREE, does not include any costs associated with downloading the software *********************************************** ULOTKA ELEKTRONICZNA *********************************************** Overview As businesses streamline processes and decentralize decision-making, they increasingly depend on technology to bring users and information together. To that end, organizations are turning to distributed computing as the bridge between data and informed business decisions. Building on the success of Microsoft SQL Server 6.0, the first relational database management system (RDBMS) designed specifically for distributed client/server computing, Microsoft SQL Server 6.5 extends this tradition of superior performance, reliability, and scalability into new realms that satisfy today’s business challenges. A comprehensive distributed management framework lets you centrally manage all the database servers in your organization. With advanced Windows®-based management tools and powerful server-based job scheduling you have visual control over multiple servers and can automate remote operations for "lights out" command of your distributed environment. Enhanced, built-in data replication provides a powerful and reliable way to disseminate accurate information throughout your enterprise, not only across Microsoft SQL Server databases, but across ORACLE®, IBM® DB2®, SYBASE®, and other databases as well. Designed with the Internet in mind, Microsoft SQL Server also provides high-performance access to information on your company’s Web page. Its new Web Assistant enables you to populate your Web server with SQL data through a variety of methods, allowing distribution of your company’s data on a private intranet or worldwide on the Web. Also new to SQL Server 6.5, the Distributed Transaction Coordinator makes distributed applications easier to create by automating the management of transactions across multiple servers, saving valuable time previously spent individually coding client applications. SQL Server 6.5 also meets the most demanding requirements for reliability, data integrity, and security by complying with industry standards such as ANSI, FIPS, and NIST. Many of these performance and reliability gains are achieved through close integration with the Microsoft Windows NT® Server platform. And, as part of the Microsoft BackOffice™ family, Microsoft SQL Server 6.5 works with other BackOffice server applications for superior, integrated client/server solutions. Today’s successful organizations consider cost of ownership along a new dimensionlthe ability to easily and cost-effectively add, develop for, and support distributed sites. When compared to ORACLE in a recent IDC study, on a monthly basis Microsoft SQL Server yields a 42 percent lower "cost-to-user" for database sites. Microsoft SQL Server has open interfaces at both the client and the server so you can benefit from a wide variety of off-the-shelf applications and tools, and can integrate SQL Server with your existing systems. Back to Table of Contents Highlights Lowering the cost and complexity Reduced complexity for users, administrators, and developers means quicker, easier-to-use business solutions at lower costs.

Built-in data replication, centralized administration, open architecture, and integration with everything from mail to the Internet makes Microsoft SQL Server your best solution for cost-effective, high-performance distributed computing. Robust Host Connectivity The new Microsoft TransAccess products allow mainframe transaction programs to act as server for Windows NT-based applications or, alternatively, as "enterprise clients" that initiate and interact with SQL Server. The architecture supports true, bidirectional distributed processing and data-sharing between the mainframe and the network. Powerful Development Environment SQL Server works easily with Microsoft Productivity applications and visual development tools to provide a complete client/server solutions platform. Its wide open client/server architecture paves the way for integration with hundreds of off-the-shelf client/server solutions. Scalable Solutions The new Access Upsizing Wizard makes it easy to migrate your database from Access to SQL Server. And since SQL Server 6.5 enhances support for industry standards, including ODBC, DB-Library™, MAPI, OLE, and Win32, it runs the same on any supported system. SQL Server is open to interoperate with a wide variety of solutions, making scaling up and down easy and efficient. Distributed Data Warehousing Enhancements to data warehousing (including new OLAP query extensions, CUBE, and ROLLUP) allow a single query to return detail data and aggregates across multiple dimensions, simplifying information retrieval for analytical purposes. A new "data pipe" capability, using EXEC and INTO, allows SQL Server to programmatically retrieve information from multiple sources and populate SQL Server tables with the results. Tight Integration with the Internet Information in SQL Server systems can be made available to Internet users through tight integration with Microsoft Internet Information Server and other third party Web servers. SQL Server’s new Web Assistant automatically delivers information in HTML format. Trigger-driven and scheduled tasks make it easy to keep Web pages current. Automated Maintenance Routine database maintenance chores can now be automated in a single task through the DBA Assistant. Centralized Management The SQL Enterprise Manager provides a single point of control for administering your distributed databases. Visual controls allow you to easily manage database resources, user activities, server configurations, database backups, and more. New SNMP enhancements allow monitoring of SQL Server with SNMP-based management tools. Tight Mail Integration SQL Mail enhancements make it possible to send and receive electronic mail with Microsoft Exchange or populate Exchange public folders with data from SQL Server. SQL Server can also send optional attachments automatically when the data changes or on a scheduled basis using the built-in scheduling capabilities of SQL Executive. Flexible and Powerful Replication Replication to ODBC subscribers, including IBM DB2, ORACLE, SYBASE, and Microsoft Access, allows SQL Server data to be distributed to non-SQL Server systems. Configuring and managing data replication is simple using the SQL Enterprise Manager. Distributed Transaction Coordinator (DTC) manages transactions that span two or more SQL Server systems, guaranteeing transaction integrity and recoverability. Its transparent two-phase commit supports server-to-server procedures and simplifies application development.
