Re: MS SQL Inter-database query question

Sockets: yes, provided it is setup to use sockets and not
named pipes. If its a local socket, it should not go out to
the network... as per a conversation with microsoft I had a
while back...it _should_ stay on the machine itself and not
be sniffable elsewhere.

Hello ...

  Just a quick question:

  When a query is performed from one database to another
  database on the same server, does the information pass
  over a socket ? or some other system ?

  If it is a socket, is it sent such that sniffing of the

  information is possible (i.e. sniffer on a computer in
  the same network can view data transfer) ?

  Thanks ...
