Hi,
this might be actually offtopic, but its always time to fight some FUD :-)

Funny enough if I use __Microsoft__ SQL Query Analyzer which directly
connects to SQL Server and somehow shut the SQL Server down while a query is
running I get the following message (german):
_________________________________________________________
Server: Nachr.-Nr. 17, Schweregrad 16, Status 1, Zeile 0
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Shared Memory]SQL Server existiert nicht
oder Zugriff verweigert.
Server: Nachr.-Nr. 2, Schweregrad 16, Status 1, Zeile 0
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Shared Memory]ConnectionOpen
(Connect()).
_________________________________________________________

Which means Microsoft uses ODBC itself for its internal DB Access in SQL
Query Analyzer, and NOT OLE DB.

Now if they use this for their native DB Access (and NOT OLE DB) , it must
be perfect for
me.

Nice try anyway.
