you just named them :)
While an extended stored procedure is called and runs in the same
memory space as SQL Server, it has to open its own connections to the
server to run queries etc. It can, however, send messages and errors
back to the server. Also, be warned, it DOES run in the same meory
space as SQL Server and any bugs/memory leaks in your code will affect
the server as well. To get started I'd look at the xp's included and
get the SQL Server developer's kit (I think that's what it is called)
-- it is available on the SQL page of microsoft's site.
