...Just as well .Net assemblies can be added to SQL it gets over a lot of problems.Not sure that I like the thought of being forced to enable and use CLR assemblies to fix T-SQL. It seems like a risky work around. Possibly valid or rather valid work around in some circumstances but it does increase the surface of attack.
I agree. I wonder if having the work-around puts less pressure on MS to create a solution in t-sql.
