As every developer knows by now, Microsoft has focused renewed attention on security in recent product releases. One of the important concepts in this effort is surface area. Roughly speaking, a piece of software has a smaller surface area if there are fewer ways to attack it: fewer open ports, fewer APIs, fewer protocols, and so on. OSQL Server 2005 takes this concept to the next level by letting you explicitly manage the software's surface area.

Did you know that you can obtain the execution plans for your SQL Server 2000 queries using Profiler? It is an interesting concept, especially when you need to troubleshoot the queries on a system that you did not develop and cannot obtain source code for.

SQL Server 2005 is chock full of new features. You may have heard that you can write stored procedures in a CLR language like C# or VB .NET, but TSQL is here to stay. One new great feature adds the functionality of a Ranking expression that can be added to your result set that is based on a ranking algorithm being applied to a column that you specify. This will come in handy in .NET applications for paging and sorting in a grid as well as many other scenarios. We are going to take a look at the Ranking functions new to SQL Server 2005 using the new AdventureWorks database on the February 2005 Community Tech Preview.
As the online news service called NewsScape moves into its sixth year, it exhibits a lot of the characteristics of a child at the same age: It has a huge appetite for information, grows by leaps and bounds each year, and makes those who oversee it wonder if they can maintain control as it gets bigger. It is maintained by "a man and a dog – an aging golden retriever named Sambucus," according to the man, Andrew Clarke.
