The SQL Leadership Panel
summary
Leadership team lays out concrete road map: on‑premine SQL continues with SQL Server 2022 in on‑prem receiving cloud parity of features (Ledger, JSON, performance), Azure SQL Edge remains supported as a low‑cost, versionless deployment, and Azure Arc already offers a versionless engine. Tool cadence is explicit: SSMS quarterly releases, Azure Data Studio every ~2 months. Hybrid investments include Mi Link DR preview, ADLS virtualization (external table read now, CTAS write coming), managed instance storage at 16 TB today and telemetry/monitoring gaps being tracked.
