  • Updated sp_indexinfo

    - by TiborKaraszi
    It was time to give sp_indexinfo some love. The procedure is meant to be the "ultimate" index information procedure, providing lots of information about all indexes in a database or all indexes for a certain table. Here is what I did in this update: Changed the second query that retrieves missing index information so it generates the index name (based on schema name, table name and column named - limited to 128 characters). Re-arranged and shortened column names to make output more compact and more...(read more)

  • Build Your Personal Network

    - by AllenMWhite
    Recently a few people have approached me privately about their careers, and how they can make the changes to allow them to do the kind of work they'd like to do, be it consulting or in a full-time role. (In every case, I was flattered and surprised, as I never felt I had that much insight into career choices.) The most important thing, I told each of them, was to use the network of people you know. You will always be more successful finding opportunities through personal contacts than you will through...(read more)

  • T-SQL Tuesday #014:I Hereby Resolve

    - by AllenMWhite
    It's another T-SQL Tuesday! Like many others, I really don't make New Year's Resolutions. They're too easy to forget about and it's too easy to "justify" why it just wasn't practical (and sometimes it's true.) That said, there are some things I'm working on changing for this year. Last year was the first full year for my new business venture, and it has been successful so far. I'm confident it's going to continue on this path, and we'll be doing even better this time next year. With that success...(read more)

  • Don't speak to the DBA while he/she is doing the job?!

    - by Uri Dimant
    Our DBA was very busy today, he helped out our developers to write efficient code,explained to the programmer how to launch the old DTS package on SQL Server 2005 and etc. You know how it is, someone comes in and asking the question and you answer the question at the same time you are busy to do something. So  today answering one of such questions he deleted by mistake very ctitical database. Fortunately, we had zero data loss,thanks to our backup/recovery strategy. I think that is acceptable to say that you are busy right now ,please ask the question later on, what do you think? How do you respond if someone asks you a queston while you are doing something on the server/database and etc.?   Share this post: email it! | bookmark it! | digg it! | reddit! | kick it! | live it!

  • SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 is available - this time for sure!

    - by AaronBertrand
    Last week I mentioned in passing that Service Pack 1 is now available, while I was blogging from the PASS Summit keynote . I wanted to put up an official post instead of having it appear as a footnote there (I also updated my April Fools' joke to point to the right place). Service Pack 1 Details Service Pack 1 is build # 11.0.3000 and includes 13 fixes to public KB items and 35 other internal (VSTS) items. You can see the list of fixes in KB #2674319 . You can also read about new features included...(read more)

  • SSIS is Case-Sensitive

    - by andyleonard
    Introduction SSIS is case-sensitive even if the database is case-insensitive. Imagine... ... you work in an ETL shop where someone who believes in natural keys won the Battle of the Joins. Imagine one of your natural keys is a string. (I know it's a stretch... play along!). Let's build some tables to sketch it out. If you do not have a TestDB database, why not? Build one! You'll use it often. Use TestDB go Create Table SSIS1 ( StrID char ( 5 ) , Name varchar ( 15 ) , Value int ) Insert Into SSIS1...(read more)

  • Detecting Hyper-Threading state

    - by jchang
    To interpret performance counters and execution statistics correctly, it is necessary to know state of Hyper-Threading. In principle, at low overall CPU utilization, for non-parallel execution plans, it should not matter whether HT is enabled or not. Of course, DBA life is never that simple. The state of HT does matter at high over utilization and in parallel execution plans depending on the DOP. SQL Server does seem to try to allocate threads on distinct physical cores at intermediate DOP (DOP less...(read more)

  • Load Test Manifesto

    - by jchang
    Load testing used to be a standard part of the software development, but not anymore. Now people express a preference for assessing performance on the production system. There is a lack of confidence that a load test reflects what will actually happen in production. In essence, it has become accepted that the value of load testing is not worth the cost and time, and perhaps whether there is any value at all. The main problem is the load test plan criteria – excessive focus on perceived importance...(read more)

  • Why Your Abstract Wasn't Selected

    - by AllenMWhite
    We're anxiously waiting to hear from PASS which sessions were selected for the 2014 Summit in November. It's a big job to go through the hundreds of submissions and pick the sessions that will appeal to the people who will be paying over $1,000 to attend this annual event. As I am also waiting to hear the results, I saw this article addressed to actors who didn't get cast for the part they worked so hard to audition for, and it seemed appropriate to address the same issues for would-be Summit speakers....(read more)

  • Your Presence Matters at the PASS Summit

    - by AllenMWhite
    This year will be my tenth year attending the annual PASS Summit. It's in Seattle again this year, which to me is important because of the proximity to the Microsoft offices and the people on the SQL Server dev team, as well as the CX (formerly CAT) teams that help so many people get the most out of SQL Server. The conference is the biggest event in the world specifically focused on SQL Server. As a result, it's an opportunity to meet many people who are directly focused on the SQL Server platform,...(read more)

  • One Database or Ten?

    - by merrillaldrich
    In my career to date I’ve worked as a DBA for mainly “buy don’t build” scenarios. One advantage - and hair-graying problem, if I am honest - has been that I think I’ve seen upward of one or two hundred different ISV-provided applications’ SQL Server databases. It’s a great learning opportunity, as I can see successes and failures in a large variety of designs, and sort of “fast-forward” to version five or eight of a given design pattern to see things like whether it scales, or has storage problems,...(read more)

  • LOB Pointer Indexing Proposal

    - by jchang
    My observations are that IO to lob pages (and row overflow pages as well?) is restricted to synchronous IO, which can result in serious problems when these reside on disk drive storage. Even if the storage system is comprised of hundreds of HDDs, the realizable IO performance to lob pages is that of a single disk, with some improvement in parallel execution plans. The reason for this appears to be that each thread must work its way through a page to find the lob pointer information, and then generates...(read more)

  • Will Google follow HTML refresh?

    - by yasar11732
    I want to move my current Tumblr blog to static HTML blog. Currently I am using a custom domain, I am planning on doing the move when Google sees domain name change. I am considering two options: Buying a hosting service Using GitHub pages Buying a hosting service would probably mean I am going to pay for lots of things that I don't need like PHP, MySQL, e-mail service etc. On the other hand, if I use GitHub pages, I can't use .htaccess file to make 301 redirects. I want to change my URL structure and this is important to me. I was wondering if I use: <meta http-equiv=refresh content="0; url=http://example.com/newurl" /> Would Google see it as 301 redirect, so that I won't use my search engine value?

  • Speaking at PASS 2012… Exciting and Scary… As usual…

    - by drsql
    I have been selected this year at the PASS Summit 2012 to do two sessions, and they are both going to be interesting. Pre-Con: Relational Database Design Workshop - Abstract Triggers: Born Evil or Misunderstood? - Abstract The pre-con session entitled Relational Database Design Workshop will be (at least) the third time I will have done this pre-con session, and I am pretty excited to take it to a bit larger scale. The one big change that I am forcing this time is a limit on the lecture time. Each...(read more)

  • PASS Nomination Committee

    - by drsql
    Starting today you can vote for your choice for who should be on the Nomination Committee for SQL PASS (or perhaps some previous day if you aren't reading this on the 13, and if it is after noon on the 23, well, tough). There are 12 people who are up for vote with 3 slots available so this should be fun. There are a few people I know quite well on the list, and a few I don't really know at all. Looking at their qualifications I think one thing stands out. You probably can't make a bad choice. One...(read more)

  • 3 Steps to Establishing an Internet Presence

    In today's World Wide Web, establishing an Internet presence could mean a number of things. From, starting a simple personal website, to setting up a profile on a social networking site, to starting a blog using any of the several hosted blog platform solutions. But if you're starting a home business - on or offline, establishing an Internet presence begins with creating a website for your business, where the introductions between potential customers and the products and/or services you offer take place. In many cases, this involves obtaining a domain name, getting reliable web hosting, and building your website.

  • STOP! Wrong Server!

    - by merrillaldrich
    Some time ago I wrote a post about old-time T-SQL flow control . Part of the idea was to illustrate how to make scripts abort on errors, which is surprisingly convoluted in T-SQL. Today I have a more specific example: how can I check that we are really about to execute in the right database on the right server, and halt if not. Perhaps you’ve connected to the wrong server, or the database you intend to modify doesn’t have the name your script expected. “USE database” is wonderful, but what if it...(read more)
