Introduction to SQL Server Management Studio
SQL Server Management Studio is used to manage, query and design SQL Server solutions. In this video you're shown the basics of how to use Management Studio.
MDX Operators: The IsLeaf() Operator: Conditional Logic within Calcula
In this article, we will concentrate upon the useful IsLeaf() operator, from the perspective of its use within a calculation. We will discuss the straightforward purpose of the operator, to ascertain whether a member is a leaf-level member of a dimension; the manner in which IsLeaf() manages to do this; and ways we can leverage the operator to support effective conditional logic to meet various business needs within our own environments.
Avoiding the Metadata Pitfalls

SQL Server Management Studio
After quite a few versions, Enterprise Manager is being retired. SQL Server 2005 will have a new management tool called the SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS). Amit Lohia brings us a first look at some of the features of this new tool.
SQL Server 2005 Waits and Queues
The methodology helps identify the areas of slow performance by looking at the problem from two directions called Waits and Queues. An analysis of Waits indicates where SQL Server is spending lots of time waiting. In addition, the biggest waits point out the most important or relevant Queues (that is, Performance Monitor counters and other data) for this workload.
Our Very Own SQL Server Data Compression
Data space can be a concern in many situations as more and more data is being stored in your systems. Designing your schema to take this into account is important for a DBA and Steve Jones takes a look at how design decisions can be used to solve a business problem.
Gathering Metrics with SMO
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.
How do I... Transfer and store data from an XML document in a relation
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.
Table Variables
New author Jambu Krishnamurthy brings us a look at table variables and how they differ from temporary tables in SQL Server 2000.
MDX Numeric Functions: The .Ordinal Function
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.
