This script can be run when you want to do batch processing on a database, such as a dynamic truncate statement for all tables in your database. This script will actually script all the Foreign Keys in your database, and then store them into a table called FOREIGN_KEY_TEMP. It will then generate, and execute, all […]

This script will help you locate columns that you provide in a comma delimited format. You pass it as few or as many columns as you want in the following format: ',,....' and this will generate you a report that states which database, and table each column you passed is in.

Definitely not a beginner article, this one describes how to asynchronous execution using delegates in C# (C Sharp). Async is usually harder to implement - conceptually at least - but offers benefits in that the user/application isn't blocked while you wait on results.

-- The goal is to avoid the use of sp_start_job in an application. So we have the application use RAISERROR to activate the job.-- 1) because you can only start jobs you own-- 2) we don't want to open the cmdshell to everyone-- 3) we want control regarding jobs that run on our server.-- 4) […]

I bet most of us count and sum fairly often, but how often do you use the rest of the 'in the box' statistical functions? Learn these now and be ready when you need them.

David recently worked on a project where it turned out storing the answers to a survey using bitmapping was a good approach. He was good enough to write some of it down and share. As he notes bitmapping isn't used as often as it used to be, but it can still be a useful technique to have around.

New Author! This is an introductory level look at MDX geared toward intermediate or higher SQL users. The rate of OLAP usage is lower than it should be - maybe this will be what gets you started using it. Or thinking about it at least!

I have a table with this data:
TravelLogID CityID StartDate EndDate 1 1 2025-01-01 2025-01-06 2 2 2025-01-01 2025-01-06 3 3 2025-01-01 2025-01-06 4 4 2025-01-01 2025-01-06 5 5 2025-01-01 2025-01-06I run this code:
SELECT IDENT_CURRENT('TravelLog')
I get the value 5 back. Now I do this:
SET IDENTITY_INSERT dbo.TravelLog ON
INSERT dbo.TravelLog
(
TravelLogID,
CityID,
StartDate,
EndDate
)
VALUES
(25, 5, '2025-09-12', '2025-09-17')
SET IDENTITY_INSERT dbo.TravelLog OFF
I now run this code.
DBCC CHECKIDENT(TravelLog)
GO
INSERT dbo.TravelLog
(
CityID,
StartDate,
EndDate
)
VALUES
(4, '2025-10-14', '2025-10-17')
GO
What is the value for TravelLogID for the row I inserted for CityID 4 and dates starting on 14 Oct 2025?
