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.
