Puts SQL Server in Line With Rivals on Backup Databases
JUNE 07, 2004 (COMPUTERWORLD) - Microsoft Corp. last week began
letting SQL Server users who have Software Assurance contracts set
up fail-over databases at no extra cost, a new policy that some
customers said could give Microsoft an edge over Oracle Corp.
Microsoft last month announced that it would no longer charge Software
Assurance customers for backup database servers, provided that the
systems remain off unless the main database crashes or is corrupted
and that they aren't used for processing on a regular basis.

RSS feeds of their site content. If you have a close look at them
you can find that they would be using either an .aspx page or an
.asp page etc., Why do this in a round about manner when there are
options for generating your RSS feed directly from your SQL Server

way to create it through SQL Script directly.

RSS is a method of distributing links to content in your web site
that you'd like others to use. RSS stand for "Rich Site Summary."

item tag and they are generally web pages that you'd like others
to link to. For instance, let's say you run a technical web site
and update the site once in a week. Now you want to share the information
about the top 10 articles to the outside world. How do we do that?
Just create a RSS file (xml file) and form multiple item tags with
information about those articles. To enter your item into the RSS
file, you'll need this information: Title, Publication date, Description,
