Author Description

The Common Language Runtime (CLR) environment is deeply embedded into SQL Server, providing a stable, secure, and reliable base for managed code. In this book, Microsoft MVP Greg Low shows how to build assemblies to run within SQL Server, and offers solid advice for both DBAs and developers. He explains the.NET Framework and the mechanics of CLR integration, and provides an end-to-end tour of a CLR integration project, including the steps for creating and deploying objects. Topics include user-defined functions, aggregates, and data types, as well as stored procedures and triggers. Advanced topics include performance, security, deployment, testing, and debugging.
