I am just wondering which will be faster t-sql function/procedure or clr version of one? A procedure works with database data and use cursors (t-sql version).
When should I use clr and when I should use t-sql to create procedures and functions?
Simple rule-of-thumb:
data manipulation (SELECT, UPDATE etc.) are best left to T-SQL (but without cursors!)
while anything that has to do with processing (string/regex matching, date arithmetic, calling external web services etc.) is a good match for SQL-CLR
