What is SQL Server 2008/RDBMS?


As you most likely know, SQL Server 2008 is primarily thought of as a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). It is certainly that, but it is also much more.

SQL Server 2008 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 product. In addition to traditional RDBMS duty, SQL Server 2008 also provides rich reporting capabilities, powerful data analysis, and data mining, as well as features that support asynchronous data applications, data-driven event notification, and more.
