RE: Is the Schema Still Needed?

  • Reply

Up until about two months ago, I thought it was totally silly and had very little use... But, one, I hope "clever" <g>, of them did spring to mind. I've been writing a doc management system which is to have very tight security, etc, etc. The customers can write their own custom reports which can […]

SQL Server Security: The db_executor Role

  • Article

Brian will be writing a monthly column for us on SQL Security, definitely a hot topic these days! He starts off by discussing the need for a built in db_executor role and how to grant permissions manually to achieve the same effect. Terrific concept, as granting table access can lead to bad things! If there is a security topic you'd like to see more info on, post a note to the article or email us at articles@sqlservercentral.com.

RE: Why is XML support in SQL Server beneficial?

  • Reply

Probably depends on what you're working with. OpenXML is a pretty valuable construct. I don't use For XML as much, but I do mostly desktop stuff, not web, so maybe it makes more sense there. I think it's nice to have the option. I'd like to be able to store XML docs and query them […]

It's more of a case of having used SQL since 6.5 and having experience with SQL7 and SQL2000 since their first release going back to SyBase seems a big step back. Add to this that the server has been installed as case sensitive. […]
