Getting started with SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services or the new report controls in Visual Studio 2005? Brian Welcker demonstrates some tips and tricks that you can use to add interactive features to your own reports.
This is the second of a two part series on how triggers work in the two latest versions of MS SQL Server. The first part dealt with what is common between the two versions. This article will detail what's been added to SQL Server 2000.
An important consideration, when designing a Business Intelligence system within any environment, is a consideration for "where to put the intelligence" among the various "layers" within the system. I have stated many times in the past, in both articles and presentations, that "multi-layered reporting solutions require multi-layered architects," and nowhere is this truer than within the design and implementation of the Microsoft integrated business intelligence solution. This article provides an excellent example of such considerations: the option for placing a needed calculation at either the Analysis Services level (within the cube structure) or the Reporting Services level.
One of the most popular questions on SQL Server 2000 deals with determining how much space the various tables in your database take up. There are a variety of reasons for this and a few ways to gather the information. Author Amit Lohia takes a look at how sp_spaceused works and how you might customize it to suit your needs.
We've just sent the July issue of the SQL Server Standard to the printer and it should be shipping out to you subscribers next week. The e-version should be in your virtual briefcase and it should be at the PASS and MCP sites soon. Read the editorial and see what's in this issue.
This white paper provides an introduction to various features of XQuery implemented in SQL Server 2005 such as the FLWOR statement, operators in XQuery, if-then-else construct, XML constructors, built-in XQuery functions, type casting operators, and examples of how to use each of these features. Non-supported features of XQuery in SQL Server 2005 and workarounds are described in this article. It also presents three scenarios where XQuery is useful.
Storage is getting cheaper and cheaper, which means that more and more SQL Server servers will be incorporating SAN storage as an architecture moving forward. It seems that most DBAs, however, have never worked with this technology. New author Hugh Scott brings us a primer on this Storage Area Networks for DBAs new to this technology.
While many things in technology decline in price over time, there are few things that do not, space being one of them. In response to other recent writings on the life work balance and other career articles for SQL Server DBAs, new author Sushila Iyer brings us a look at how telecommuting can be of benefit to both the DBA and the employer.
Shredding a recordset in this instance means that we are going to show you how to take a recordset produced in your SSIS package, loop over the rows in that recordset, break apart the columns and do something with them. This is really useful when you want to preform an action on a row of data for every row of data just like we are going to do here. Sure we could use an ExecuteSQL task to get the recordset as well but that does limit our choices of source data whereas doing it in the pipeline does not. Something useful we hope.
One of the most useful tasks in SQL Server 2000's DTS environment is the Dynamic Properties task. Author Kathi Kellenberger brings us a look at how this task can help you accomplish an unusal import task.
