SQL Server 2016 is bringing several features with it - Always Encrypted, Polybase, Dynamic Data Marketing, JSON Support and Query Store. All these features are explored here.

1. Explore the features
of SQL Server 2016

2. Always Encrypted
�Always Encrypted features helps
your SQL Server data to be encrypted
within your SQL Server.
�Encrypted data will be accessible

owners can control the access to view
their data applications confidential
data.

3. Dynamic Data Masking

obfuscating secret data columns in a
table to SQL Server for users that aren’t
authorized to see the data.
� In addition, you are enable to identify
the data obscuration.
� You can also define masking rules so

you will like the new Query
Store feature.
� SQL Server now saves
historical execution plans with
this feature.

6. PolyBase
� PolyBase allows you to query distributed
data sets.
� With the introduction of PolyBase you will
be able to use Transact SQL statements to
query Hadoop, or SQL Azure blob storage.
� By using PolyBase you can now write adhoc
queries to join relational data from SQL
Server with semi-structured data stored in
Hadoop, or SQL Azure blob storage.
