I think we're getting really close to a very interesting convergence of two very different forces that's going to be the catalyst for the next big thing. Force one: Yesterday's thinking is failing to give us the ability to build solutions today that help us solve tomorrow's problems. Need proof? We still...

Kirk and I are having a lot of fun with this RSS issue. Here's an updated version of my previous example that copes with Unicode BOMs and pre-validates the fetched RSS before it attempts to store it. It demonstrates that typed XML really does validate everything... Continues here.

There's been a brief discussion on the SQL Server 2005 XML newsgroup regarding RSS and the XML type on SQL, encoding and schema. In keeping with my recent series of code-heavy examples, here's the guts of a primvative little VB.NET console app that sucks feeds into a table. The basic gist of the problem...

There was a post this morning the SQL Server 2005 XML newsgroup that caught my eye. I don't know that I answered the poster's question exactly, but it lead to what I thought was an interesting example. So, here's another code-heavy article on showing how to do that.

Bob blogs about XQuery again, pointing out that if the XQueries are issued against typed XML instances in SQL Server 2005 are validated before T-SQL Query Processing , potentially leading to interesting results. Over here I've got an example to look and some thoughts as to why this "behavior by design...

Hurry up and go take this survey... if you care about GUI Database Design tools! http://whdc.microsoft.com/vsdata/databasediagramming.aspx This is directly how the community can get involved in helping MS design the products we use ( and sometimes abuse... )

I've not really blogged much about Code Camp II since getting back from Boston. Mostly my own fault. But let me tell you, Thom and Joe put together one great show and if you, can I highly recommend going to the next iteration of it scheduled for Q1 2005. The highlight for me was getting to talk about...
