See where our friends at MS are going:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/0800/sql2000/sql2000.asp
They implemented int64, UDFs, BEFORE ACTION triggers, cascading referential
integrity and field-based collation support. Doesn't that sound familiar?
Sure they will shout these features never have been seen before in a
relational engine. You know your little beloved engine has some of those
features since day one and others since version 3.3.
