Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Stored Procedure Programming in T-SQL & .NET

Overview

Create and Use Stored Procedures for Optimal Database Performance

Develop complex stored procedures to retrieve, manipulate, update, and delete data. Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Stored Procedure Programming in T-SQL & .NET identifies and describes the key concepts, techniques, and best practices you need to master in order to take full advantage of stored procedures using SQL Server's native Transact-SQL and .NET CLR languages. You'll learn to incorporate effective Transact-SQL stored procedures into client or middleware code, and produce CLR methods that will be compiled into CLR stored procedures. This is a must-have resource for all SQL Server 2005 developers.

Essential Skills for Database Professionals

• Group and execute T-SQL statements using batches, scripts, and transactions
• Create user-defined, system, extended, temporary, global temporary, and remote stored procedures
• Develop and manage stored procedures using C# and Visual Basic .NET
• Implement database access using ADO.NET
• Create CLR user-defined functions and triggers
• Implement reliable debugging and error handling techniques and security measures
• Manage source code in a repository such as Visual SourceSafe
• Create stored procedures for web search engines
• Use system and extended stored procedures to interact with the SQL Server environment
