SQL Server 2005 Partitioned Tables and Indexes

Although partitioning tables and indexes has always been a design tactic chosen to improve performance and manageability in larger databases, Microsoft SQL Server 2005 has new features that simplify the design.

List of Database Users with Database Roles

SQL Server shows lots of information in Enterprise Manager, but getting a report for someone or manipulating this data is hard from the GUI. Using T-SQL, it's easier, but sometimes not obvious how to get the data. Author Santveer Singh brings us a way to get at some of that information, the users and their database roles.
