Client SQL Server

Creating Database using T-SQL

CREATE DATABASE logical_database_nameON PRIMARY (NAME = logical_file_name,FILENAME = ' path\file_name',SIZE = size,MAXSIZE = maxsize,FILEGROWTH = filegrowth_increment)

LOG ON(NAME = logical_file_name,FILENAME = ' path\file_name',SIZE = size,MAXSIZE = maxsize,FILEGROWTH = filegrowth_increment)

Internet and XML support

Rich XML Support Query relational database with XPath Query relational database with SQL and return XML re

sults Update relational data as if it was XML Load huge XML files into existing SQL Server 2000 da

tabase, converting them to relational data Query your SQL Server via URLs from your Web Brow

ser of Web application Access SQL Server XML functionality via .NET Manag

ed Classes

Weakness

Only support Windows-based platform.T-SQL is not strong.Security holes.

Future

Enhancement of XML supportXML type –Cross Domain query

Web ServiceRemove the requirement of IIS.

Support .Net technologyImprove business intelligence platform.
