It's a good basic article for developers as well as DBAs who might have to review code.http://www.sqlservercentral.com/redirect/articles/1470/2004/08/20http://www.sqlservercentral.com/redirect/articles/1470/Andy has been busy lately on a project you'll be hearing more about soon (!), but he did manage to get part four of his managing jobs series done. This article discusses ideas for patterns to follow when building jobs, including writing to the console, setting errorlevels, and how to get them installed on the server. DBA's, if you're not developers, look at this article - this is stuff you can take to your development team and get better/more manageable jobs. http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Administering/managingjobspart4/1037/2003/06/25http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Administering/managingjobspart4/1037/If you're a VB.NET programmer who wants to learn database programming with ADO.NET, here's a new book that presents all the skills you need in a logical progression from the simple to the complex. Along the way, you'll learn how to use the classes, properties, methods, events, and techniques that have made this subject so hard to master. And when you're done, you'll have a reference that you'll use on the job every day.
