SQL Server 2012 Column-Store Available For All Major SAP BW Releases NEW!

SQL Server 2012 introduced a new storage format for data. Besides the traditional row-oriented store, there is now also a column-oriented store available. The column-oriented store is optimized for aggregating mass data, while the row-oriented store can be optimally used when accessing just a single row. SQL Server 2012 column-store support has been integrated into all major SAP BW releases. You can now benefit from increased query performance and reduced disk space requirements. 05 Nov 2012

Immense Disk Space Savings with SQL Server

Database compression dramatically reduces the disk space needed for an SAP NetWeaver system running on Microsoft SQL Server. As of SQL Server 2008 R2, this uses an improved encoding algorithm for Unicode, also known as Unicode-compression. This results in less storage requirements for SAP Unicode systems. Therefore, SAP databases containing some non-Latin1 data even shrink during an SAP Unicode conversion. For more information, see this blog. In May 2011, SAP also changed the default compression type from ROW to PAGE compression, which led to an additional dramatic reduction in the database size. For more information about the different SQL Server compression types and how to implement compression for an SAP NetWeaver system, see this document. 22 Sep 2011
