Stored procedures offer many advantages in data-driven applications. Using stored procedures, database operations can be encapsulated in a single command, optimized for best performance, and enhanced with additional security. While a stored procedure can be called by simply passing the stored procedure name followed by parameter arguments as an SQL statement, using the Parameters collection of the ADO.NET Command object enables you to more explicitly define stored procedure parameters as well as to access output parameters and return values. To call a stored procedure, set the CommandType of the Command object to StoredProcedure . http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/yy6y35y8(v=vs.71).aspx

Database Design - Introduction

Also available on tomjewett.com: color tutorial, demo application, and video ; for Web accessibility resources and consulting, please see The Enabled Web . This third edition of dbDesign is a general update, both to meet legal requirements for U.S. “Section 508” accessibility and to bring the code into compliance with the latest World Wide Web Consortium standards. In the process, I've tried to make the SQL examples as generic as possible, although you will still have to consult the documentation for your own database system. Graphics no longer require the SVG plugin; large-image and text-only views of each graphic are provided for all readers; the menu is now arranged by topic areas; and the print version (minus left-side navigation) is done automatically by a style sheet. The second edition was largely motivated by the very helpful comments of Prof. http://www.tomjewett.com/dbdesign/dbdesign.php

Using Entity Framework 4 with SQL Server 2000 Databases

The Visual Studio 2010 IDE does not support connecting to SQL Server 2000, including not allowing connections from the ADO.NET Entity Framework designer.

Asked By Charles Law on 07-Jan-08 11:53 AM When I try to create a cross-database foreign key constraint, I get The cause of the message is, of course, obvious. However, I would still like to have a constraint based on rows in a table of another database (running in the same instance).
