Microsoft cloud platform allows you to provide resiliency for your on-premises SQL Server deployments. Marcin Policht describes this functionality, available as part of the Azure Site Recovery solution.
Redgate’s Arneh Eskandari and Microsoft SQL Server MVP, Steve Jones, will show you how Redgate’s DLM (Database Lifecycle Management) solution works to improve your database development and deployment processes. Today 12noon EDT
The individual's dexterity can impact how we use software. Perhaps we need ways to undo mistakes in various systems.
To be able to make full use of the system catalog to find out more about a database, you need to be familiar with the metadata functions. They save a great deal of time and typing when querying the metadata. Once you get the hang of these functions, the system catalog suddenly seems simple to use, as Robert Sheldon demonstrates in this article.
Today Steve Jones talks about the issues with the sa account, and how you might protect this on all your instances.
In this article, I’ll attempt to “convince” you that every SQL Server you put into production should be a SQL Server Failover Cluster Instance (FCI).
When your SQL Server database is set to have its statistics automatically updated, you will probably conclude that, whenever the distribution statistics are out-of-date, they will be updated before the next query is executed against that index or table. Curiously, this isn't always the case. What actually happens is that the statistics only gets updated if needed by the query optimiser to determine an effective query plan.
One way to make code run faster is to have less of it. Or ensure the code you have does less work.

We create the following table and then insert some records in it:
create table t1 ( id int primary key, category char(1) not null, product varchar(50) ); insert into t1 values (1, 'A', 'Product 1'), (2, 'A', 'Product 2'), (3, 'A', 'Product 3'), (4, 'B', 'Product 4'), (5, 'B', 'Product 5');What happens if we execute the following query in both Sql Server and PostgreSQL?
select id,
category,
string_agg(product, ';')
over (partition by category order by id
rows between unbounded preceding and unbounded following) as stragg
from t1; See possible answers
