Logging to an SQL DB is not that difficult



I'd beg to differ a bit. During logon and all the other tasks happening at the same time and probably well over 100 possible connection error codes for SQL I'm not so sure I'd list it as EASY.

Doable perhaps but with all the normal network connection problems related to simple logon seen around here, I think putting SQL in the mix is a bit more complicated.
