After the announcement last week by Microsoft that there would be no Beta 3 for SQL Server 2005 and that the CTP process would take over, Steve Jones had the opportunity to interview Thomas Rizzo and Allan Ros from the SQL Server development team about the CTP process and testing the SQL Server builds.
This article describes the CLR integration into the SQL Server 2005 Database Engine in detail and provides some background for answering two integration-related questions.
Collaboration Data Objects, also called CDO, is designed to simplify writing programs that create or manipulate Internet messages. CDO for Windows 2000 is an integral part of the Windows 2000 and higher series of operating systems. It is easy to send SMTP email from SQL Server using CDOsys. It is an alternate method to SQLMail. This article illustrates how to use CDOSys to send formatted emails from Query Analyzer and SQL Server Alerts.
A review of some other SQL Server 2005 graphical and command line programs, which should be part of the toolkit of every SQL Server 2005 database administrator and programmer.
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.
