Old web site requires sometimes to show a big “Loading…” gif in the front of the page. It is not trivial to do it, especially if you have already plenty of jQuery forms developed, with complex form submission, and half the site in an ajax form.

In questo articolo parleremo di Microsoft SQL Server.

SQL Server nasce inizialmente da uno sforzo congiunto di Microsoft, Sybase and Ashton-Tate che nel 1989 creano tale prodotto avente come target OS/2.

Dopo alcune vicessitudini Microsoft si smarca da Sybase e SQL Server versione 6.0 è la prima versione per Windows NT che non ha più dipendenze di copyright da Sybase.
