Why Consider a Service-Oriented Database Architecture for Scalability and Availability
|
SQL Server 2005 contains major improvements in all four areas of scalability: higher volumes of transactions, larger volumes of data, more complex queries, and more complex application requirements. It also introduces a new architectural approach for handling high transaction volumes, the Service-Oriented Database Architecture (SODA). With SODA, databases become an interconnected set of highly available Web services. Read this white paper for an overview of the Service-Oriented Database Architecture and how SQL Server 2005 supports it.
