Introduction to SQL Server CLR Integration
In this topic, you need to explain the students about CLR As they have already read about CLR in the chapter 1, you need not to go into the details of CLR
Explain how CLR has been incorporated in the SQL Server itself Also explain the benefits of integrating CLR inside SQL Server itself You can use the examples provided
in the Student Guide to clarify the concept to the students
T-SQL has been the conventional language to write database objects, such as stored procedure, triggers and functions SQL Server 2005 provides the new possibilities to the database developer by integrating NET Framework in it SQL Server 2005 allows the database developers to write stored procedures, triggers, user-defined types, user-defined aggregates, and user-defined functions in any of the NET supported language, build a dll, register and use it inside a SQL Server
It is very important that the students understand that you are not removing the business or data layer by hosting the C# code in the SQL Server SQL Server is still a database and is not intended to be used as an application server in your architecture

Managed database objects can be created in the following situations:
To implement complicated programming logics
To access external resources
To implement a CPU-intensive functionality that can run more efficiently as compared to the managed code.
T-SQL statements can be used in the following situations:
To perform data access and manipulation operations that can
be done using the T-SQL statements.
To implement programming logic tat can be easily implemented using T-SQL programming constructs.
Identifying the Need for Managed Code
In this topic, you need to explain the need for managed code to the students You need to
explain the limitations of T-SQL to the students, and how those limitations can be
overcome by introducing managed code in SQL Server
T-SQL is a language that is used to manipulate and query data from a database server It
provides a number of database features, such as query plans and caching of query plans
and their results Because of all these features, T-SQL is the best choice for the operations
in the SQL Server But the procedural aspect of T-SQL makes it complicate to use in
situations that involve functions such as, complex mathematical computations, recursive
operations, and heavily procedural
In addition, T-SQL can not take the advantage of code reuse If you try to implement all
this using T-SQL, the network traffic of your company goes into a loop and results in
slow query processing With the ability to write and host NET code inside SQL Server
2005, you now can prevent the network roundtrips and host the necessary NET code right
inside SQL Server

Importing and Configuring Assemblies
In this topic, you need to explain the concept of assemblies to the students In addition, you also need to teach how to import the NET assembly inside the SQL Server To clarify the concept, you may provide the students with the example provided in the Student Guide
Trang 7¤NIIT Instructor Inputs 14.7
The students have learned about the assemblies in NET framework To clarify the doubts
of the students, you can specify that the assemblies in NET are the dll or exe files that
have provide a specific functionality In SQL Server 2005, an assembly is a database
object that stores the code of NET assembly

Is implemented by creating a procedure that refers to an imported assembly
Syntax:
CREATE PROCEDURE <Procedure Name>
AS EXTERNAL NAME <Assembly Identifier>.<Type Name>.<Method Name>,
Let’s see how…
Creating Managed Database Objects (Contd.)
In this topic, you need to explain the concept of creating a managed procedure to the students These managed stored procedures will have an assembly attached to it
Whenever the stored procedure is executed, the code written in the assembly will be executed To explain the concept, you can use the example provided in the Student Guide
Before executing the code, you need to copy the ConvertXML.dll file in the C drive of
the server This file is given in the Datafiles_for_faculty\QMDS2005\Chapter 09 folder
of the TIRM CD
When explaining the syntax of the command, mention that the EXTERNAL NAME clause specifies the database server to use an external assembly as the code for the procedure

Trang 14In this topic, you need to explain the concepts of SOA to the students The concept of SOA is new to the students Therefore, you need to clarify the concept
The term service-oriented architecture expresses a perspective of software architecture that defines the use of loosely coupled software services to support the requirements of the business processes and software users
SOA is a collection of services These services communicate with each other The
communication can involve either simple data passing or it could involve two or more services coordinating some activity Some means of connecting services to each other is needed Service-oriented architectures are not a new thing The first SOA for many people
in the past was with the use DCOM or Object Request Brokers (ORBs) based on the CORBA specification

Web Service is a collection of methods that provide programmable logic used by client applications over the Internet.
SQL Server 2005 provides native XML Web services by using the following open standards:
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) Web Services Definition Language (WSDL)
Introduction to Web Services
Show the flash presentation to introduce Web services to the students Through this presentation the students will learn about the Web services
Inputs for Flash Presentation
Screen 1
A user sends a request to a Web server to view a website The website further sends request for data to a Web service The web service provides the required data that is used
by the website
Trang 15¤NIIT Instructor Inputs 14.15
Screen 2
A web services provides a set of functionalities to various clients These clients are
websites that need to show a common data The example that is shown is of stock rates Various websites need to show stock rates and update them frequently A Web service provides update stock details to all the websites
The websites can directly get connected to the Web services created on SQL Server HTTP endpoints are the connecting points through which users can get connected to the Web services
In addition, you can tell the students that Web services implemented in SQL Server contain the stored procedures and functions as Web methods
In addition, you also need to introduce the various technologies used in the creation, searching, and deploying web services You need not explain the details of
implementation of HTTP, SOAP, and WSDL but clarify the concept to the students
HTTP: Is a protocol used on the World Wide Web to transfer information The
original purpose of HTTP is to publish and retrieve HTML pages
HTTP is a request/response protocol between clients and servers The originating client, such as a web browser, spider, or other end-user tool, is referred to as the user agent The destination server, which stores or creates resources such as HTML files and images, is called the origin server In between the user agent and origin server may be several intermediaries, such as proxies, gateways, and tunnels
SOAP: Is a protocol for exchanging XML-based messages over a computer network,
normally using HTTP SOAP forms the foundation layer of the Web services stack
It provides a basic messaging framework
There are several different types of messaging patterns in SOAP, but by far the most common is the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) pattern, in which one network node (the client) sends a request message to another node (the server), and the server immediately sends a response message to the client
WSDL: Is an XML-based service description on how to communicate using the web
service; namely, the protocol bindings and message formats required to interact with the web services listed in its directory The supported operations and messages are described abstractly, and then bound to a concrete network protocol and message format This means that WSDL describes the public interface to the web service

HTTP Endpoint Architecture:
Trang 18In this topic, you need to explain the execution of a native Web service to the students Explain to the students that if SQL Server is running of Windows 2003 Server, SP1 they need not to have an additional Web Server to host the web service created using SQL Server
The reason why you need not have a Web server is that Windows 2003 server architecture has a separate HTTP listener with it This listener is hosted in http.sys file and listens for any http requests made over the network

2 Creating an HTTP Endpoint using the CREATE ENDPOINT statement.
Creating HTTP Endpoints
In this topic, you need to explain the process of creating an HTTP Endpoint to the
students Tell them that firstly they need to create a required code in the form of one or more stored procedures or functions While creating the endpoint, you will refer to the code written This code will further be converted into a Web method and the data returned
by the code will be converted into XML In addition, the SQL Server will also write the WSDL document for the Web service
