Microsoft has let the Preview of SQL 2016 loose on the unsuspecting public! Let’s have a look at some of the more exciting new features that SQL 2016 has in store for us, such as, Enhanced In-Memory, HTML 5 Rendering Engine (finally), Always On Encryption, Stretch Databases (leveraging your Cloud storage), Mobile Device integration for BI (CFO’s will love this!), PolyBase (your gateway to Hadoop and Azure Blob), New SSRS Tree Map and Sunburst Charts, and much more!
