• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. On-line Gaming

  Surfing the net, it seems that games are ubiquitious. Some sites such as MSN bolted on games as an adjunct, while others offered games as their main focus.

The driver is called SQL Native Client(SQLNCLI) rather than SQLODBC as it was in older versions ...Show All

• SQL Server Feedback regarding Feedback on the Feedback Center

  Just a note to the MS guys... I'm fully supportive of the product Feedback Center initiative and the subsequent withdrawal of sqlwish. Problem is, if nobody ever gives us feedback on the things that we submit then it simply is a glorified version of sqlwish with no added value. I apologise if there are plans afoot to address to offer feedback to the things we put up there but I (and others) have been freely submitting bugs and sugge ...Show All
