[Quoted] This is what I don't understand. None of that changes. You still have security (even more) to limit what people can and can not do. SqlClr does not change that. If I can create a proc today, I have the option to create a clr proc. I still need to use TSQL to get access to the data. I just have a framework available to me to do other logic if I need it. It is actually a wrapper. A ~normal sp is created that calls my clr proc. Anyone can still say no. So I am still lost on what your issue is.
