SQL Server 2000's DTS subsystem is a tremendously flexible environment for handling any number of tasks on your SQL Server. Alex Kersha used DTS to implment a task that manages the number of backup files on his server, which is conifgurable with a global variable. Read on and get the code to implement this task on your servers.
This article will acquaint you with aggregate functions such as MIN, MAX, COUNT, and AVG, which easily let you perform tasks that you may have thought needed extensive programming codes to accomplish.
he purpose this lab is to illustrate the benefits of the Distributed System Designers available in Whidbey to application architects, operations teams, and developers. These designers help application architects and developers construct service-oriented applications and prepare them for deployment in a target datacenter modeled by operations.
XML is becoming more and more prevalent in applications and more SQL Server DBAs are learning to work with this data structure. Raj Vasant brings us part 2 of his series on using OPENXML inside SQL Server, looking at passing XML into your stored procedures this time.
This white paper discusses how to integrate and deploy Microsoft SQL Server Express-based applications by using configuration files and the ClickOnce deployment technology in Microsoft Visual Studio.
This paper discusses the challenges that face businesses that rely on data integration technologies to provide meaningful, reliable information to maintain a competitive advantage in today’s business world. It discusses how SQL Server 2005 Integration Services (SSIS) can help Information Technology departments meet data integration requirements in their companies. Real-world scenarios are included.
Many people have posed the question of how to generate sequential numbers for some report when the underlying data has no numbering system. The solutions have always been complicated derived or temporary tables and are difficult to implement. SQL Server 2005, however, brings us the ROW_NUMBER() function and author Michael Coles shows us how this can be used to easily add sequential numbering to your results.
By using Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2005 Integration Services (SSIS) to perform metrics calculations on data extracted from the Siebel Call Center database, the cross-IT (XIT) group in Microsoft Information Technology (Microsoft IT) was able to replace a former reporting application with a new scalable and flexible reporting application to improve reporting throughout the organization
Merge replication is probably not used as often as it could be, mainly because of the potential complexities of this tool. New author Satia Madimchetty brings us a great article that simplifies one part of this SQL Server feature, the conflict resolution issues.
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) is an enterprise-level data integration platform. SSIS is an entirely new subsystem in SQL Server 2005. This paper tells you how to take advantage of the SSIS management and deployment features.
