            Many New Features have been provided with the New SQL Server 2012. In this Blog I had provided these features in the way of difference between the older and New version of SQl Server.
SQL Server 2012
- Its Code Name is Denali.
 - Its have unlimited concurrent connections.
 - New Function Are available such as CONCAT(), FORMAT() and TRY_CONVERT().
 - Data visualization is available by which we can take snapshot of data.
 - It Use 48 bit precision for Spatial Calculation.
 - In this Server, server down time is reduced by 50% , hence OS patching is not rebooting n times.
 - This Server Have high availability and disaster recovery factor has been introduced which duplicates the data and rapidly recovers the loss.
 - In SQL Server 2012, the performance is 10 times faster than the predecessor.
 - Buffer rate is high in SQL Server 2012 because of data compression.
 - Support for persistent computed columns and extra geographical approach is possible with spatial features in SQL Server 2012.
 
SQL Server 2008
- Its Code Name is Kilimanjaro.
 - Its have limited concurrent connections which are 32767.
 - There are No New Function Are available such as CONCAT(), FORMAT() and TRY_CONVERT().
 - There are No Data visualization available by which we can take snapshot of data.
 - It Use 27 bit precision for Spatial Calculation.
 - In this Server, rebooting is requisite for OS patching , hence server down time is high.
 - This Server does not have this feature of availability groups, hence fast recovery is not possible.
 - SQL Server 2008 is slow compared to SQL Server 2012.
 - Buffer rate is less because there is no data redundancy in SQL Server 2008.
 - Spatial features are not supported more in SQL Server 2008 R2. Instead a traditional way for geographical elements have been set in SQL Server 2008.
