Windows Server 2008 has a lot of differences from its previous versions and one of them is the clustering feature. How do I go about building a clustered SQL Server 2008 running on Windows Server 2008?
As we build more sophisticated maintenance procedures, we increase the complexity of our systems. Is that a good thing? Steve Jones has a few comments on what this means for DBAs.
For a book project I am working on, I have started compiling a list of reasons why heaps aren't usually a good choice when designing a database. Now, I didn't say that heaps are always bad, but in most cases, I think they should be avoided so pleae read the list to see why.
Many of the concepts behind Domain Driven Design are noble and valid but the silo-based approach to development that inevitably springs from this philosophy gives Tony Davis cause for concern.
With a new version of SQL Server being released every 2-3 years now, what does that mean for support from Microsoft? What about from DBAs?

Debugging capability in SSMS was a long sought feature by users and finally the Microsoft SQL Server team decided to provide this feature in SQL Server 2008.
SCHEMA BINDING is commonly used with SQL Server objects like views and User Defined Functions (UDF). The main benefit of SCHEMA BINDING is to avoid any accidental drop or change of an object that is referenced by other objects. A User Defined Function (UDF) may or may not access any underlying database objects, but in this tip we show how using SCHEMA BINDING with a UDF can improve performance even if there are no underlying objects.
