Microsoft's SQL Server 2014 is slated to deliver in-memory OLTP capabilities, plus a handful of other new and enhanced database features early next year.

Microsoft has RTM'd SQL Server 2014, which includes a new in-memory OLTP engine built jointly by Microsoft Research and the SQL Server team.

Extended Security Update sales for SQL Server 2014 began this month, even though Microsoft's product is still supported through mid-2024.

SQL Server 2014 hit its 'release-to-manufacturing' milestone today, with Microsoft projecting an April 1 commercial release.

Microsoft on Tuesday released the SQL Server 2014 Community Technology Preview 1 and the cloud-based SQL Server 2014 Community Technology Preview 1 on Windows Azure.
