Many times our application uses data from external suppliers. These data, mostly recived by the Internet, is written in XML format and has different from our data mode structure. But it`s still very important for us so we want to process them by extracting data from. Of course we may procesing XML  documents in CLR or simple .NET project and than pass them to database but we should this about performance of each our solution. For example if we recieved 100MB XML  document from supplier and we processed them we still need to send those data to our database which means  that we have to pass data by the network- it`s very costly... Now assume that the same operation, connected with proccessing XMLdocuemnt, can be done in SQL SERVER side. Looks great don`t You? So let`s begin. First of all we should learn something more about three things: master.dbo.sp_xml_preparedocument : start preparing passed text as XML document with chec

Sometimes one of the business requirements of the system is to create a new databse at the runtime. When You using SQL Server this operation can be done easy and quick. The stored procedure below takes two arguments. First 'DbName ' sets a name for new database and the second one gathers information about success of the operation as true or false. Note that second argument is output type which means that in C# code you can get information about create new database. Now its time for some magic. After creating a new DB there is no object inside. But You don`t have to move all of structure to new DB each time you create a new one. In SQL Server one of the four database names 'model'. When you move all of Your buissnes logic (tables, views, stored procedures and even data) to it, all the structured will be move to new DB when it`s creating. Looks great, but remeber that if you have some PK on the table with data in model DB during cration of new DB PK values will be r
