As you probably know those days SQL Server 2011 is being developed. Itzik Ben-Gan believes (me too) that having those new window functions and enhance existing ones will benefit all of us SQL Server developers in the future more complete support for the standard window functions in SQL Server. Please read and vote..

Be careful to grant dbCreator server role to the user

It is common that vendors ask for permission to create databases (or they applications need) on your servers and most of DBAs I have seen immediately grant them dbCreator server role. But they are not aware that members of that role are able to DROP/ALTER any databases on the entire server regardless of whether or not you even have a user account in the database.Did you really want that??

The right approach is to grant CREATE ANY DATABASE permission and then the user is able to DROP/ALTER he/she owns.
