Keeping track of the performance of your SQL Servers requires metrics. There are many methods for doing this, but some type of automated process is essential these days with DBAs managing many servers. New author Allen White brings us a technique for doing this using SMO, the replacement for DMO in SQL Server 2005.
XML really makes it easy to move data from here to there and from there to here. However, eventually the data needs to be stored somewhere, most likely in a relational database. Here is how Edmond Woychowsky gets data from an XML document into a relational database.
New author Jambu Krishnamurthy brings us a look at table variables and how they differ from temporary tables in SQL Server 2000.
In this lesson, we will expose another useful function in the MDX toolset, the .Ordinal function. The general purpose of the .Ordinal function is to return the ordinal value of a specified dimensional level.
Setting up replication can be fairly easy, but deviating from the follow-the-wizard approach can be tricky. New author Claudia Rego brings us a primer on setting up transactional replication without requiring an initial snapshot.
Steve Jones talks about the ne value of the new certification program from Microsoft.
Part III of the article series illustrates how to partition an existing table with data into four different file groups.

As DBAs we try our best to appropriately size a SQL Servers to match the anticipated load. But things change over time and we may find that some databases are overloading the server. When it's time to move your database to a new home on another server, Paul Mu brings us a technique for doing so.
Data compression is a great method for maximizing data storage space and making data communication faster. However, compression and decompression of binary data sometimes can be quite tricky. Learn a few useful data-compression techniques.
