This article displays excerpts from recently updated articles. Links to new articles might also be listed. This article is generated by a program that is rerun periodically. Occasionally an excerpt can appear with imperfect formatting, or as markdown from the source article. Images are never displayed here. Recent updates are reported for the following date range and subject: - *Date range of updates:*   **2017-09-11**   -to-   **2017-09-27** - *Subject area:*   **Database Engine**.   ## New Articles Created Recently The following links jump to new articles that have been added recently. 1. [Add Features to an Instance of SQL Server (Setup)](install-windows/add-features-to-an-instance-of-sql-server-setup.md) 2. [Install SQL Server from the Command Prompt](install-windows/install-sql-server-from-the-command-prompt.md) 3.

[Business continuity and database recovery - SQL Server](sql-server-business-continuity-dr.md)   ## Updated Articles with Excerpts This section displays the excerpts of updates gathered from articles that have recently experienced a large update. The excerpts displayed here appear separated from their proper semantic context. Also, sometimes an excerpt is separated from important markdown syntax that surrounds it in the actual article. Therefore these excerpts are for general guidance only. The excerpts only enable you to know whether your interests warrant taking the time to click and visit the actual article. For these and other reasons, do not copy code from these excerpts, and do not take as exact truth any text excerpt. Instead, visit the actual article.   ### Compact List of Articles Updated Recently This compact list provides links to all the updated articles that are listed in the Excerpts section. 1.
