'Microsoft is excited to announce a new preview for the next version of SQL Server!  We disclosed a name for this next release, SQL Server 2017, today at the Microsoft Data Amp event. Community Technology Preview (CTP) 2.0 is the first production-quality preview of SQL Server 2017, and it is available on both Windows and Linux. In this preview, we added a number of new capabilities, including the ability to run advanced analytics using Python in a parallelized and highly scalable way, the ability to store and analyze graph data, and other capabilities that help you manage SQL Server for high performance and uptime, including the Adaptive Query Processing family of intelligent database features and resumable online indexing.

In addition to all these great new features we are excited to announce a world record in the TPC-H 1TB data warehousing workload(non-clustered). The benchmark was achieved with SQL Server 2017 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and HPE Prolliant server hardware, beating SQL Server 2016 on the same hardware handily. This is just the first of many anticipated performance benchmarks for SQL Server 2017 on Linux and Windows, demonstrating SQL Server’s industry leading performance. When taken in conjunction with the fact that SQL Server has had the least vulnerabilities of any major database over the last 7 years in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) vulnerability database, SQL Server 2017 on Windows and Linux is the best database for your Mission Critical application and data warehouse workloads.

You can try the preview in your choice of development and test environments now.'...
