Storage costs are constantly rising, especially for databases as we gather more and more data. However not all of our data is necessarily the same priority or requires the same hardware. Steve Jones talks about the benefits you might get if you can tier your storage.
I support thousands of databases and I'm running across situations where I have a database that has a data file of a couple hundred megabytes and the associated log file is gigabytes in size! I understand this is because I may not have my transaction log backups scheduled properly. What I'm interested in is an easy way to identify these situations where the SQL log file is too large, so I can go in and further analyze these problem databases without needing to look at each database.
Learn how SQLCLR can be used to replace BCP and xp_cmdshell to export data to comma separated and tab delimited flat files.
In a parent child dimension, when an attribute's usage type is set as Parent and browsed from a client tool, many designers as well as users may get confused based on the displayed results. For example, when you browse a parent attribute in a parent child dimension like Employee and say the parent attribute is Employees, you can browse data members from the parent node until the deepest available level of the child node. By default you will find each parent member having a child member with the same name even though this member might not exist in the data. From a user experience point of view this is not a desirable way of browsing a parent child hierarchy because it may get confusing. In this tip we will look at an example of this issue and how to solve this problem.
Robert Pearl brings us a few more potential SQL Server 2008 installation issues on Windows 7 and a few workarounds that might help you get around them.

When you enter a new record into a table that contains an identity column, the identity value will be set with the next available value. Your database design often requires you to obtain that value, so you need to be able to find it.
TempDB is the ALU of the SQL Server and if somehow this gets deleted Server cannot start. Here is a solution of how to get the server started when TempDB is deleted.
When Agile meets 'Big Design', the result can be frustration on both sides. Is it possible for database development to to easily coexist with Agile methodologies for application development? Nick suggests that the technical solutions already exist, and the dissonance is more due to cultural and organizational problems
