I am also working with SQL server and I think, I can get latest information about new features added in SQL 2012. So keep posting about SQL 2012…Thanks

Thanks Trevor! I’m looking forward to fully contained databases. I think "partial" is a step in the right direction, but I’m looking forward to the possibilities (and portability) of full containment.

Hi Joe

Great article, I was looking into this the other day. I can see a lot of uses arising from contained databases, but foresee a lot of problems as DBA’s and developers first encounter them.

It took a while to wrap my head around the collation implications of working with both contained and non-contained databases in a single batch. Depending on which database the batch is initially executed from temporary objects could be created using CATALOG_DEFAULT or TempDB default collations.

Thankfully books on-line goes quite in depth on it here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff929080(v=SQL.110).aspx
