Contact Creation using CLR and XML

 

Applies To: SQL Server 2016 Preview

The Contact sample for SQL Server provides some useful utilities that form an extra layer of functionality on top of the base AdventureWorks2012 sample database. The first utility creates contact records for various types of people involved in the AdventureWorks2012 database. The contact information is specified by using XML and is passed to a C#-based or VB stored procedure to create the XML and place it in the proper tables with the database.

Prerequisites

To create and run this project the following the following software must be installed:

  • SQL Server or SQL Server Express. You can obtain SQL Server Express free of charge from the SQL Server Express Documentation and Samples Web site

  • The AdventureWorks database that is available at the SQL Server Developer Web site

  • .NET Framework SDK 2.0 or later or Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 or later. You can obtain .NET Framework SDK free of charge.

  • In addition, the following conditions must be met:

  • The SQL Server instance you are using must have CLR integration enabled.

  • In order to enable CLR integration, perform the following steps:

    Enabling CLR Integration

    • Execute the following Transact-SQL commands:

    sp_configure 'clr enabled', 1

    GO

    RECONFIGURE

    GO

    Note

    To enable CLR, you must have ALTER SETTINGS server level permission, which is implicitly held by members of the sysadmin and serveradmin fixed server roles

  • The AdventureWorks database must be installed on the SQL Server instance you are using.

  • If you are not an administrator for the SQL Server instance you are using, you must have an administrator grant you CreateAssembly permission to complete the installation.

Building the Sample

Create and run the sample by using the following instructions:

  1. Open a Visual Studio or .NET Framework command prompt.

  2. If necessary, create a directory for your sample. For this example, we will use C:\MySample.

  3. In c:\MySample, create Contacts.vb (for the Visual Basic sample) or Contacts.cs (for the C# sample) and copy the appropriate Visual Basic or C# sample code (below) into the file.

  4. Compile the sample code from the command line prompt by executing one of the following, depending on your choice of language.

  5. Vbc /reference:C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\System.Data.dll,C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\System.dll,C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\System.Xml.dll /target:library Contacts.vb

  6.  Csc /reference:C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\System.Data.dll /reference:C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\System.dll /reference:C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\System.XML.dll /target:library Contacts.cs

  7. Copy the Transact-SQL installation code into a file and save it as Install.sql in the sample directory.

  8. If the sample is installed in a directory other then C:\MySample\, edit the file Install.sql as indicated to point to that location.

  9. Deploy the assembly and stored procedure by executing

    • sqlcmd -E -I -i install.sql
  10. Copy Transact-SQL test command script into a file and save it as test.sql in the sample directory.

  11. Execute the test script with the following command

    • sqlcmd -E -I -i test.sql
  12. Copy the Transact-SQL cleanup script into a file and save it as cleanup.sql in the sample directory.

  13. Execute the script with the following command

    • sqlcmd -E -I -i cleanup.sql
