SOS_SCHEDULER_YIELD —SQL Server instances with high CPU usage often show the SOS_SCHEDULER_YIELD wait type. This doesn’t mean the server is underpowered; it means further research is needed to find ...

These classes (types) can have member functions that are accessible in T-SQL, à la SQL distinct types, and they can have mutator functions that are usable in T-SQL update statements.

T-SQL code is highly integrated with the rest of SQL Server. It executes using "native" data types, so data returned from the storage engine doesn't need to undergo expensive type conversions prior to ...

SQL Server verifies that the assembly code is type-safe and validates the code when it's cataloged. This not only saves time—because the runtime usually does this during the JIT process (at first load ...

Since SQL Server 7, stored procedures and user-defined functions (UDFs) aren't precompiled or stored in an intermediate parsed-tree format prior to use, as in earlier versions.
