A SQL Server 2005 feature that I appreciate and want to demonstrate is the OUTPUT clause. The OUTPUT clause helps in returning the actual data from a table soon after an insert. Applications require return values such as the new identity value, the computed column value or the default value generated by the default constraint.

In SQL Server 2005, you can explicitly or implicitly define the execution context. As we all know, a session starts when a user logs on to SQLServer or a connection to SQLserver is made. All operations in that session use the logon credentials used for connecting to SQL Server. When an EXECUTE AS statement is run, the execution context of the session is switched to the specified login or user name.
