Universal Data Access (UDA) is Microsoft's solution for integrating different data sources into applications. OLE DB provides an API that allows you to expose heterogeneous data sources through a common set of software toolsâ?"specifically COM interfaces. While it is relatively easy to devise a common API to expose proprietary data in a standardized way, creating a general-purpose, universally valid mechanism for querying data is not as easy. In fact, it probably can't be done....

Trace flags are used to temporarily enable or disable specific SQL Server database functions, allowing you to change default database behavior or to observe hidden database behavior, and will remain in effect until they are either manually turned off or SQL Server is restarted. Keep in mind that most trace flags are undocumented and Microsoft can and will change the behavior of the flag between SQL Server versions, service packs or hot fixes....

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 offers developers an advanced and powerful database engine and comprehensive programming framework with which to create data centric solutions. Since Visual Studio 2008 and 2005 were released before SQL Server 2008, their respective tools and data designers do not automatically support SQL Server 2008 and its new data types and features. Microsoft is providing SQL Server 2008 support updates for Visual Studio in order to allow the designers to communicate with SQL Serve...

With server virtualization this is much easier to setup and take down servers at will, but this still requires effort to get the virtual server s...

TDE is a new feature in SQL Server 2008; it provides real time encryption of data and log files. Data is encrypted before it is written to disk; data is decrypted when it is read from disk. The "transparent" aspect of TDE is that the encryption is performed by the database engine and SQL Server cli...

In relation to the tip on Policy-Based Management in SQL Server 2008, we would like to implement policies on multiple SQL Server 2008 and even SQL Server 2005 instances. Can you give us a detailed explanation of how we go about doing this? Policies in SQL Server 2008 can be evaluated on the instance on which it was created. But one of the most tedious task that a database administrator needs to do is to go thru each of the SQL Server instances he or she manages and implement those polices. What...
