I do have this book, and I agree, an excellent book
....
The Guru's Guide to Stored Procedures, XML and HTML
>>>
Thank you, Ken,
I've ordered both today :)
As for (SQL)XML I'm especially intrested in real-life examples of using
updategrams and/or diffgrams hoping that they will let to use less coding on
MS SQL Server side - am I dreaming/wrong with my hopes? - I expect that
updategrams/diffgrams will allow to use generic (template) code to
Add,Update, Delete
specific tables' rows via stored procedures? - I mean that I expect that a
specific (CUD) stored procedure for a specific table might be using a
generic(template) T-SQL code and updategrams/diffgrams' XML strings
automagically generated by ADO.NET Datasets to create, update, delete this
specific table's rows thus there will be no need to use parameters in CUD
stored procedures for every table field's value. And as a result I will
have a very strictly secured MS SQL database with no permissions for
tables/views CRUD operations except via using stored procedures.
I don't see that what I dream about is possible - I've found only this
example in BOL's "Sample Visual Basic Application to Update Records Using
OPENXML and ADO":
CREATE PROC update_employee @empdata nvarchar(4000)
AS
DECLARE @hDoc int
exec sp_xml_preparedocument @hDoc OUTPUT, at empdata
UPDATE Employee
SET
Employee.fname = XMLEmployee.fname,
Employee.lname = XMLEmployee.lname
FROM OPENXML(@hDoc, 'update/Employee')
WITH Employee XMLEmployee
WHERE Employee.eid = XMLEmployee.eid
EXEC sp_xml_removedocument @hDoc
This isn't bad already - no need in lengthy parameters' list (still to check
it works well) but why they don't let to do something like?:
CREATE PROC update_employee @empdata nvarchar(4000)
AS
DECLARE @hDoc int
exec sp_xml_preparedocument @hDoc OUTPUT, at empdata
UPDATE Employee
SET VALUES BY NAME
FROM OPENXML(@hDoc, 'update/Employee')
WITH Employee XMLEmployee
WHERE Employee.eid = XMLEmployee.eid
EXEC sp_xml_removedocument @hDoc
Anybody to shed any light on that subject?

think that is where I will probably go.

Very indepth material. The undocumented stuff is probably my favorite.
Covers everything about t-SQL from A-Z. Highly recommended.
