My Yukon gut feeling

Tonight we went to dinner and I managed to sit next to one of the guys on the Data team.  That is the team that are working with the Yukon guys to ensure things work nicely.  It was great to hear parts of the Yukon story first hand given that there's been so much hype and (mis-)information about it.  In short, even though I think that Yukon *could* totally change your life, I really think that - in the majority of cases - the database will be used in pretty much exactly the same manner as it is today.  In fact, I'll bet that , if you see a lot of CLR code showing up in your database, you're probably working too hard.  But, it will sure be interesting to see what happens there.

Based on what I know, I agree. I think that there are some interesting possibilities, but I doubt that they'll be widely used. Most people will do what they're doing, and on occasion here or there take advantage of the CLR functionality to make their lives easier. However, the XML story could be much bigger than the CLR hosting in Yukon. I think its hard to tell at this point.
