Povesti de succes ... cu SQL Server si CLR 
NASDAQ developers like the fact that SQL Server 2005 significantly
enhances the database programming model by hosting the Microsoft .NET
Framework version 2.0 Common Language Runtime (CLR). It enables writing
procedures, triggers, and functions in any of the CLR languages,
including Microsoft Visual C#® .NET 2003 development tool, Microsoft
Visual Basic® .NET 2003 development system, and Microsoft Visual C++®
2003 development system.
“So far we’ve been working with stored procedures, but we very much
like the idea of the new SQL CLR feature,” says Buu. “SQL CLR gives us
the ability to integrate powerful programmatic solutions without taking
the time hit of leaving the database to access an external application.
NASDAQ is devoted to delivering real-time solutions, so the ability to
use CLR from within the SQL Server 2005 database is a much appreciated
feature.”
