SQL Server Standard 2019 continues to push the boundaries of security, availability and performance for all your data workloads, now with new compliance tools, higher performance on the latest hardware and high availability on Windows, Linux and containers. Enhanced PolyBase enables you to query other databases like Oracle, Teradata and Mongo DB directly from SQL Server without moving or copying the data. And for the first time, SQL Server 2019 goes beyond relational database with Spark and Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) in the box – for big data capabilities built-in.
