Chances are, you would find the same "problems" on any other transaction based RDMS. The problem isn't the server, which is correctly implementing the ANSI SQL-92 standards, it is your application which isn't doing its part.
The 2 staples go into the folded top of the back before going into the Microwave. There is a lengthy discussion of the wavelength of microwaves compared to the length of a staple in the book. A typical staple is something like 1/8th the length of the actual microwave. That is too short for significant heat to be generated. After using Alton's method over 30 times I have only noticed significant discoloration of the paper around the staple once. Just don't use really, really big staples, paperclips, or more than 2 staples and you should be fine.
From the SQL Server 2000 documentation:
Using Raw Partitions
Microsoft® SQL Server(TM) 2000 supports the use of raw partitions for creating database files. Raw partitions are disk partitions that have not been formatted with a Microsoft Windows NT® file system, such as FAT and NTFS. In some cases, using databases created on raw partitions can yield a slight performance gain over NTFS or FAT. However, for most installations the preferred method is to use files created on NTFS or FAT partitions.
On my current project, I have to model the thermal characteristics of a house and its heating system. The existing mainframe system, which is in COBOL, was a procedural system which took anything from 5 to 30 minutes to complete depending on how many components (i.e. doors and windows) the house or apartment building has.
Using set based programming, in the form of SQL and SQL Server 2000, I rewrote the calculations using stored procedures, user defined functions, and correct normalized table design. What used to take forever on the "big iron" now takes less than a second running on a quad processor Compaq server.
The original calculations took over 100 steps, not including looping for each house component. My calculations take about 7 steps, again, not including looping.
The reason this was possible was that I looked at the original calculations, broke it down to its component objects, and then normalized it. You don't have to actually write the program in OOP to get benefits from looking at your task from the OOP point of view. In my case, I prefer to write as much code as possible in SQL. It does a much better job of chopping a job up and running it on multiple processors then I can. Plus, the resulting code is much easier to read.
