New for Devs in SQL Server 2022: Ledger for Blockchain-Backed Security
The new ledger feature in SQL Server 2022 provides blockchain-based security to ensure data isn't tampered with. The ability to cryptographically guarantee the integrity of data is especially useful for sharing data between partners, allowing an organization to attest to auditors or other business parties that data in a SQL Server 2022 database hasn't been altered.
"So the idea here is, there's cryptography technology based on blockchain that guarantees that you cannot make changes without it being audited, without being visible, like absolutely visibility," explains Leonard Lobel, longtime Microsoft MVP and CTO of Sleek Technologies.
"Even if you're a high-powered admin, DBAs and system administrators as well are not able to bypass this in any way."

Lobel was detailing the ins and outs of the new ledger functionality in a presentation titled "What's New for Developers in SQL Server 2022" at last week's big five-day Visual Studio Live! conference in Las Vegas.
What's more, Lobel will duplicate his presentation in May at the VSLive! conference in Nashville.
