After having a go at the information on the Entity Framework and other ADO.NET 3.0 papers that were posted about a month ago, I was trying to come up with a good example of relational tables or views that are designed with entities in mind. Or perhaps from entities. Concepts like inheritence, for example. Unlike [...]

SQL Server 2005: an overriding theme to the new features
Posted on: July 19, 2006 6:56 am
Even now, although SQL Server 2005 has been for about 3/4 of a year, when I teach people about the new developer features, I'm still asked about the zen of the new features. Do they follow a common theme? Is there a usage pattern that emcompasses all of the things like Service Broker, SQLCLR, XML [...]

At TechEd, a couple of folks came up to me and asked “we see around at conferences and read your blog, but when are you going to offer any…ahem… *public* classes, already?” I see you were a “special guest” at a training event back in March, but we couldn’t afford to go to Amsterdam. Well…SQLskills [...]

There's an interesting article that caught my attention in this month's (July 2006) MSDN magazine by John Mollman about building the MSDN aggregation system. The system uses SQL Server 2005 Service Broker for reliable messaging, activation procedural written in T-SQL, SQLCLR for interactions with the world outside the database and the XML data type and [...]
