In practice, it is quite rare to see our customers use the Express Edition. It generally serves as a toolbox or for very specific scenarios where the previous 10 GB limit was not an issue. Therefore, lifting this limit will not have a major impact due to the many other restrictions it still has.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"nv-cv-m wp-block-list\">\n<li>The introduction of AI capabilities within the database engine, including vector indexes, vector data types, and the corresponding functions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"nv-cv-d nv-cv-m wp-block-list\">\n<li>For development purposes, SQL Server introduces a native JSON data type and adds support for regular expressions (regex).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"nv-cv-d nv-cv-m wp-block-list\">\n<li>Improvements to Availability Groups, such as the ability to offload full, differential, and transaction log backups to a secondary replica.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"nv-cv-d nv-cv-m wp-block-list\">\n<li>The introduction of optimized locking and a new ZSTD algorithm for backup compression.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We also note the release of SQL Server Management Studio 22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>References :<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/sql\/sql-server\/what-s-new-in-sql-server-2025?view=sql-server-ver17\">https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/sql\/sql-server\/what-s-new-in-sql-server-2025?view=sql-server-ver17<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/techcommunity.microsoft.com\/blog\/sqlserver\/sql-server-2025-is-now-generally-available\/4470570\">https:\/\/techcommunity.microsoft.com\/blog\/sqlserver\/sql-server-2025-is-now-generally-available\/4470570<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/ssms\/release-notes-22\">https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/ssms\/release-notes-22<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/amine-haloui-76968056\/\">Amine Haloui<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Microsoft has announced the release of SQL Server 2025.
