SQLServerCentral Editorial

Sources of Inspiration

However, today, as I started to write on the topic of learning, I suddenly felt like I had just written this same editorial.

Stairway to SQL Server Security

Stairway to SQL Server Security Level 11: Auditing

By defining server- and database-level audits, you can record just about any kind of event that occurs in SQL Server, which can be an invaluable source of security troubleshooting and forensic information when security breaches occur. In this stairway level you’ll learn how to define the various audit specification objects, how to capture audit data, and how to explore and use the data.

AWS Lambdas with C#

In this article, I will take you through the development process of building an API on the serverless cloud with C#. This API will be built to serve pizzas, with two endpoints, one for making pizza and the other for tasting fresh pizzas. I expect some general familiarity with AWS and serverless computing. Any previous experience with building APIs in .NET will also come in handy.

Question of the Day

Switching Schemas I

I run this query:

SELECT 
 s.name AS schemaname
 , o.name AS objectname
 FROM sys.objects o
 INNER JOIN sys.schemas s ON s.schema_id = o.schema_id
 WHERE o.name = 'Beer'
I get one row back for an object named dbo.beer. There is an ETL schema and both of these are nonpartitioned tables. I run this code:
ALTER TABLE dbo.beer switch TO etl.beer
What happens?
