Can someone please explain the differences regarding the various connection methods available for SQL Server (2005 and 2008 specifically)<br />
<br />
I've seen the Wikipedia stuff, so please no links to content of that nature<br />
<br />
I'm more interested in things like why I should choose one method over another, for exampe - or are there any drawbacks to enabling ALL of them, etc etc. What are the advantages/disadvantages of doing these things?<br />
