  • RE: A genuine use for a SQL CLR Aggregate

    @odeddror I think the answer is in the Terminate function

    public SqlDouble Terminate()

    {

    if (count > 0)

    {

    SqlDouble value = (count * SumXY - (SumX * SumY)) / Math.Sqrt((double)((count * SumX2) - (SumX...

  • RE: The Cloud

    Nadrek (2/6/2014)


    I simply execute

    REPLACE(@text,"the cloud","timeshared mainframes")

    Fortunately its not that bad. Cloud based machines behave just like any other virtual machine and depending on what you rent you can choose...

  • RE: The Cloud

    Round and round we go.

    Outsource your peripheral functions (like payroll) but keep your assets close. The cloud is a natural extension of this.

    For development work spinning up a temporary...

    Hi there,

    I'm using SQL Server 2012 x64 and VS 2013

    I follow your code and

    The T SQL return -0.99988192786007

    And CLR return 0.999766931939805 (positive number...

  • RE: Mongo Jumbo Backups

    Jim, my experience is that you will rarely get isolated pockets of woes.

    If you don't like the SQL then a good developer will find that the code is wonky. ...

  • RE: Load excel data using SSIS- unicode error

    I've just spent two days fighting something similar importing a text file.

    I found that adding a data conversion component did work, but turned a simple import of 1.6 million rows...

  • RE: Zombie Data

    @jason, that is a very good point. Under the UK data protection act an individual can ask that their records be removed in certain conditions. Imagine having to...

  • RE: Zombie Data

    My first task in my first IT job was to take a lump hammer to a set of Wang minicomputer hard disks!

    Probably my first experience of job satisfaction.

  • RE: Mongo Jumbo Backups

    From a developer perspective the NOSQL databases do cool stuff and make the developers task of interacting with data much simpler.

    The boring stuff that makes it all work is the...

  • RE: Adding to SQL Server

    Actually, having been given Aquafold Data Studio to play with I think SSMS needs to take a good hard look at multi-platform integration.

    I've got to look at MySQL, HP Vertica,...

  • RE: Adding to SQL Server

    A sophisticated full-text search with sophisticated phonetic matching capability would go down a treat.

    Being able to deploy onto Linux would be fantastic.

    A formal metadata and lineage facility that takes into...

  • RE: The DBA is Dead

    I'd make the point that being a DBA is a mindset as much as a set of technical skills.

    Is the need for the mindset getting any less? I'd argue...

  • RE: Management at Scale

    I'm obviously reading this editorial differently to the rest of you. I'm not reading it as an attempt by management to scam employees to do ever more for ever...

  • RE: Common Checks

    [

    There's your problem. Perhaps testing the product at expected volumes would have exposed this shortcoming. The company's refusal to adapt and correct an obvious flaw would automatically generate an RFP...

  • RE: Common Checks

    Fragmentation

    Fullness of files and prediction for when we will have to grow them. We don't want autogrowth in large production systems we like to plan it.

    Absence of...
