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

Funny enough if I use __Microsoft__ SQL Query Analyzer which directly
connects to SQL Servers and somehow shut the SQL Server down while a query
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 with SQL
Query Analyzer, and NOT OLE DB.

Now if they can use this for their native DB Access, it must be perfect for
me.

Nice try anyway.
