Consume Web Service from Access

A few months ago, I posted an article here at DBJ named How to Pass Access Data Across the Web. One reader expressed concern over using the Microsoft Internet Explorer library because of security issues. While I do not share his fear, I appreciate that others might, so I began to think about how the process could be enhanced by substituting a Web Service for the traditional ASP/Querystring web page approach described in the article. What follows is the fruit of those labors.

Introduction to MSSQL Server Analysis Services: Named Sets Revisited

In this lesson, we revisit Named Sets, a subject that we undertook in my article MDX in Analysis Services: Named Sets in MDX: An Introduction, in March of 2004. There, we introduced Named Sets from the perspective of the MDX query language, having obtained brief exposure to the concept of Named Sets earlier in the MDX in Analysis Services series (Using Sets in MDX Queries). We examined Named Sets as they existed within Analysis Services 2000, touching upon them from the perspective of Analysis Manager, the Cube Editor, and related interfaces in Analysis Services.

Question of the Day

Which Result II

I have this code in SQL Server 2022:

CREATE SCHEMA etl;
GO
CREATE TABLE etl.product
(
    ProductID INT,
    ProductName VARCHAR(100)
);
GO
INSERT etl.product
VALUES
(2, 'Bee AI Wearable');
GO
CREATE TABLE dbo.product
(
    ProductID INT,
    ProductName VARCHAR(100)
);
GO
INSERT dbo.product
VALUES
(1, 'Spiral College-ruled Notebook');
GO
CREATE OR ALTER PROCEDURE etl.GettheProduct
AS
BEGIN
    exec('SELECT ProductName FROM product;')
END;
GO
exec etl.GettheProduct
When I execute this code as a user whose default schema is dbo and has rights to the tables and proc, what is returned?
