Master data management (MDM) and eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) are two key technologies that promise to address important information management issues. Ventana Research believes both will enable companies to reduce the cost, time and effort needed to collect, analyze and use information, whether for visibility, decision support or process execution. Some observers may see them as competing approaches, but in practice each has capabilities best suited to some applications and not others. Even where they overlap, the two may not be mutually exclusive. We advise companies that have not yet begun investigating XBRL and MDM to do so immediately, and all organizations should begin developing skills in using them.

Have you ever had someone mistakenly shutdown the SQL Agent service and forget to restart it, causing a number of scheduled jobs to not be run?

As server-side .NET development becomes more prevalent, Application Performance Management tools are becoming available to fine-tune .NET applications. And, as in the past, it seems that the ability to build new and more sophisticated applications always stays ahead of the ability to manage them.

A sub-query can be used as a table in a join statement, as a single value in a select statement, in the where clause of a SQL Server query, in the having clause of a SQL Server query, or incorporated in data manipulation statements.
