eWeek | at | by Mike
Web services will play a key role in Yukon, the next version of Microsoft Corp.'s SQL Server database, a company executive said. Giving a preview of the upcoming technology at the VSLive show here, David Campbell, product unit manager of the SQL Server Engine at Microsoft, said in a keynote presentation Thursday, "SQL Server Yukon is a great Web services engine."
Tom Rizzo, a group product manager for SQL Server, gave a demonstration of Yukon, where he built a business-to-business portal solution using the technology. In it, he showed "cross-domain queries where we combined the best of XML and the best of relational technology."
