Sales Order Workshop Part IV
In the fourth installment of this series, Jacob Sebastian moves on to SQL Server 2005 and the new XML capabilities that make
working with XML data easier than ever.
Delivering on SQL Server
Having been at the sharp end of many successful SQL Server solutions, I believe there are some fundamental principles that all successful SQL Server installations have in common. Whilst the challenges in delivering an enterprise-scale database-intensive application can be wide and varied, there are a few basic practises that will give you the best possible chance of success.
SQL Server 2005 Security Best Practices - Operational and Administrati
his white paper covers some of the operational and administrative tasks associated with SQL Server 2005 security and enumerates best practices and operational and administrative tasks that will result in a more secure SQL Server system.

PowerSMO at work part 2
Dan Sullivan continues his exploration of the versatile PowerSMO tool with coverage of how to control logins, monitor server activity and create standalone administrative scripts.

Give it a spin. I'd be curious to hear what you think of the tool.
Sales Order Workshop Part II
In part 2 of this series, Jacob Sebastion continues looking at XML in SQL Server 2000 with some advanced XML processing.

Replicating Identity Columns
SQL Server 2005 has changed replication dramatically and one of the changes is that subscriber tables have the identity
