SQL Server 2025 RC0 — релиз-кандидат с новыми настройками Preview Features

Автор: Brent Ozar. SQL Server 2025 RC0 Is Out with New Preview Features Settings

Выход SQL Server 2025 приближается — опубликован релиз-кандидат Release Candidate 0 (RC0). Ниже — основные замечания к выпуску и краткие комментарии. Если вы планируете заменить инстансы SQL Server 2016 (поддержка которых заканчивается в следующем июле) на версию 2025, сейчас хорошее время для функционального тестирования. Как напоминание — у меня есть пост о том, как переводить продакшен на новую версию SQL Server.

Настройка PREVIEW_FEATURES

В SQL Server 2025 RC0 появилась новая настройка на уровне базы данных — PREVIEW_FEATURES. Если вы хотите опробовать возможности, которые ещё не поддерживаются официально, эту опцию нужно включить. Проще говоря — это своего рода «поддержка = выключена» для новых возможностей до тех пор, пока вы явно не разрешите их использовать.

На момент RC0 за этой настройкой «спрятаны» такие возможности, как Change Event Streaming (имеет много ограничений, но выглядит перспективно), векторные индексы и функция AI_GENERATE_CHUNKS.

Это отличный подход: похвала Microsoft за то, что они выпускают продукт, но при этом закрывают отдельные, ещё неготовые возможности за явным переключателем. Многие заказчики хотят как можно скорее перейти на новую версию, и для них это удобнее, чем глобальные серверные трейс-флаги.

Предупреждение и рекомендации

Важно понимать: наличие этих функций за переключателем — сигнал, что они вероятно НЕ попадут в первый официальный релиз SQL Server 2025 в полноценном, поддерживаемом виде. Если вы рассчитывали немедленно использовать их в продакшене, стоит скорректировать планы и объяснить руководству, что точных сроков их безопасного коммерческого использования пока нет. Я обычно рекомендую не вводить зависимость приложения от совсем новой T-SQL-функциональности как минимум первые 30–60 дней после релиза, чтобы увидеть, как поведут себя баги и ранние исправления. Если нет острой необходимости, лучше не полагаться на совершенно новый функционал сразу.

В сопроводительных документах релиза также указано, что всё остальное из 2025, скорее всего, попадёт в исходный выпуск.

Ограничения preview-функций

Ниже — раздел документации релиза, в котором перечислены новые сообщения sys.messages, добавленные в SQL Server 2025 RC0 (и некоторые — в RC1). Я оставляю текст сообщений в оригинале, чтобы сохранить точность формулировок системных ошибок и идентификаторов.

• 709: The available memory for this SQL Server instance (%I64u MB) is lower than the configured maximum server memory (%I64u MB).
