Designing Databases- Architecture Database Interface Client Application Net Library Database Engine Open Data Service ClientSQL Server

Creating Database using T-SQL CREATE DATABASE logical_database_name ON 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 results Update relational data as if it was XML Load huge XML files into existing SQL Server 2000 database, converting them to relational data Query your SQL Server via URLs from your Web Browser of Web application Access SQL Server XML functionality via.NET Managed Classes

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

Future Enhancement of XML support XML type –Cross Domain query Web Service Remove the requirement of IIS. Support.Net technology Improve business intelligence platform.
