Wasn't aware of Contained Databases, so learned something new again today.

Great questions, thanks Steve.

Another question from Steve on contained databases. I wonder what he has been playing around with?

Thanks for giving me a reason to do some digging this morning. Learned a lot.

But, it's hard to concentrate, as I'm waiting for Steve to hit 30,000 points - kind of like waiting for your odometer to roll over. ;-)

I was aware of what contained databases are...

At first I thought this was a trick question, because if you can't use AD credentials against a contained database then what good are they? After all the best practices recommendation is to use Windows authentication for everything SQL related.

Then I was like, ok so if it's a trick question, why would anybody want to use this? And then I was like, why in the world would you be able to only use groups or users but not both?

Finally I went with my original answer and got it right Yay me?

The AD Credential thing is interesting. If there are matching AD credentials at the instance level, the authentication takes place there first, which makes sense. So if you move a partially contained database to a server that has a matching login, the login isn't contained.

Not a big deal, but interesting.
