    The most straightforward answer to your question is that XML is so popular because of ignorance.

    Alarms should go off when you say something like "not all data is best represented relationally."  Semi structured data is an oxymoron.  Granted, it is an...

    I can't imagine ever wanting to use the XML data type.  The only time I'd ever store XML of any sort in the database is if there is some kind...

    I don't believe there is a way to change the setting for the default trace.  However, you can turn it off and then define your own custom trace.  This would...

  • RE: View License

    Nope, every installation of 2005 I've ever seen will return Disabled.  In a way it kind of makes sense.
