But your talking design now. That has nothing to do with SQLCLR
integration. I don't see the DB design process changing just because of
SQLCLR. You will still have DBAs/ DB architects doing that work (or
should). The app guys are still going to be the app guys. You need both.
So nothing has changed in that regard.
