SQL Server 2019

What do you like best?

In earlier versions of sql server there was no support of big data, SQL-2019 gives us this feature. We can do ETL in very simple way for mongoDB kinds of database. I like its UTF feature most as it has saved my life in current project. I'm using SQL2019 since last 8 months and I'm loving it. Below are the features I like most.

-Multiplatform installation, now we can install it on any os like windows, apache.

-UTF support for multiple characters.

-Build image testing with docker and K8S.

-Integration with most of the development frameworks.

What do you dislike?

At the moment I didn't found any cons only the prize is expensive for enterprise application. :)

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Go for it if you want to save all kinds of UTF character in database.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

We were not able to save UTF8 data properly, when we were rendering on UI, its showing ugly characters. With SQL2019 We resolved this issue in our current project. Its integration and documentation is more clear due to this I was able to track the performance hit of one of our long running stored procedure.
