Database Geek of the Week - Scott Forsyth

After interviewing a number of database geeks, it struck me that many of them focus on one area of database development.

I have not been a real big fan of using VPC until recently with the Betas and releases of Visual Studio and SQL 2005.

Using TRY/CATCH to Resolve a Deadlock in SQL Server 2005

A deadlock is an inevitable situation in the RDBMS architecture and very common in high-volume OLTP environments. A deadlock situation is when at least two transactions are waiting for each other to complete.

In case of a deadlock, the TRY/CATCH method is powerful enough to handle the exceptions encountered in your code irrespective of how deeply nested the application is in a stored procedure.

Views in SQL Server

A view is a virtual table that consists of columns from one or more tables. Though it is similar to a table, it is stored in the database. It is a query stored as an object.
