Actually there is ... among professionals that have an understanding of data integrity and security. And of course among those who work in countries such as the US (think SarbOx and HIPAA) where you can not comply with federal law if you don't.

I really really really want Microsoft to add C# and VB to SQL Server 2005. It will do more to kill the product than anything Oracle or IBM could add to theirs. And given the products lack of security, stability, and scalability ... it deserves to be gutted by Microsoft's own hand.
