Abstract
One of the most prominent enhancements to SQL Server 2005 was the introduction of the integrated SQL Common Language Runtime, named SQL CLR at that time. What is now called CLR integration is an SQL Server–specific version of the .NET Common Language Runtime, which allows you to run .NET-managed code in the database. CLR integration programming is a broad subject that could easily fill an entire book, and in fact it does—Pro SQL Server 2005 Assemblies, by Robin Dewson and Julian Skinner (Apress, 2005), is an excellent resource for in-depth coverage of CLR integration programming. This chapter discusses the methods used to extend SQL Server functionality in the past and explains the basics of the CLR integration programming model in SQL Server 2014.
