SQL Server DBA Salary Survey

Aug 29, 2006

I am going into salary negotiationyearly review next month after my week off and I am trying to determine what to ask for. I am thinking another 10K and an extra week off would not be unreasonable, but I wanted to get some idea of what you guys think I should ask for in terms of pay.I have been developing software for seven years and I have been a dba for a little over five. I live in pricey northern Virginia. On a fairly regular basis I do about 55 to 60 hour weeks. On my DBA team, I am the only one who can handle both development and production tasks. The others are strictly developers. Although I have been relieved of most of my customer support tasks by our newbie, the customer support manager still brings the nastier bits to me. It is my perception that the more complex tasks get assigned to me. I get told on a regular basis that I am the best dba this place has ever had and other embarrassing accolades are regularly thrown my way. After a year, other than my boss I am the dba that has been here the longest in high turnover high burnout company. This year as we try to move to a SAP model, it looks like we will be going to 24/7 support on a disaster recovery model I am designing and implementing, so I guess I am getting the pager.So how much money should I be asking for?you can PM me with a number if you want.

Survey DB Schema

Dec 12, 2004

I am trying to modify a survey DB schema created by OOP(Object Oriented Programming) snobs who had their heads so far up their butts(in my opinion).
This is current schema created by them.

Diagram 1 (OOP snobs version)
http://us.f3.yahoofs.com/users/41a4fde6zcff655d9/a2ae/__sr_/2761.jpg?phsEJvBB3t1v7URD

Actually there aren't a several foreign keys as they are shown in the picture, but that's what they(OOP snobs) are doing to the table "Response". They are inserting question_collection_id and its name as well as question_id and its name to Response table. However, it was not ill-intended, "We just wanted to load the report quickly"(OOP snobs).
But I really recommend this schema, Because of its simplicity.

Diagram 2 (My version)
http://us.f3.yahoofs.com/users/41a4fde6zcff655d9/a2ae/__sr_/e890.jpg?phrEJvBBF0.lGY5Y

Yet I haven't proven that my schema will provide report just as quickly as OOP snobs' version. As mentioned earlier, since they don't have foreign key constraints accordingly, I do find quite number of discrepancy on values of "question" columns between "Question" and "Response" tables and "question_collection" columns between "question_collection" and "Response" table. I can provide schedule task to eliminate those problems. But I really prefer my schema than theirs. So far, I can explain mine is better just because of its simplicity and DBA's gut instinct. I'd like to hear Superior Expert's opinion which schema is better and why one is better than the other.

Attached is also zip files of schema images if you can't see them by those URL.

Would You Like To Participate In The BI Survey?

Jun 16, 2007

The BI Survey is the largest independent survey of BI technology users worldwide. (It used to be known as the OLAP survey, but has expanded to cover a broader array of BI technologies.) The survey analyzes people's buying decisions, BI implementation cycles and business results achieved.



The BI Survey is strictly independent --- they ask vendors like us to ask our customers like you to participate, but we don't have any other involvement --- except closely reading the results, of course. The Survey will send all participants a summary of the full survey results and place them in a drawing for ten $50 Amazon vouchers.



You can complete the survey on-line by following these links:


English version - website: http://www.eu-survey.com/webprod/cgi-bin/askiaext.dll?Action=StartSurvey&T1=BI&lan=1&lin=20

Calculating Survey Scores

Oct 16, 2007

I have surveys that I need to add weights to and was wondering if there was a way to convert the contents of a column.

select empid, ans_for_ql,
(if ans_for_ql = A then 0, B then 3, C then 5) as weightscore,
ans_for_q2,
(if ans_for_q2 = A then 8, B then 4, C then 2, D then 1, E then 0) as weightscore

Here is what the table looks like:

empid | Ans_for_Q1 | Ans_for_Q2
1001 A C
1002 B E

And these are the possible answers and what they need to be converted to:

Weights for answers to Question1
Q1_A = 0
Q1_B = 3
Q1_C = 5

Weights for answers to Question2
Q2_A = 8
Q2_B = 4
Q2_C = 2
Q2_D = 1
Q2_E = 0

Database Administration Survey

Jul 23, 2005

Hi,We are a systems research group at the Computer Science departmentatRutgers University, and are conducting a survey to understand detailsabout network, systems and database administration. We hope that thisinformation would help us recreate a realistic environment to helpresearch in 'systems management'.We request network, systems, and database administrators to take thissurvey. As an incentive, all surveys completed in their entirety willbeentered into a drawing of a number of $50 gift certificates (fromAmazon.com).We hope you have a few minutes to take the survey which is located at:http://vivo.cs.rutgers.edu/administration_survey.htmlResearch in our group:The goal of our research is to improve the overall availability andmaintainability of services. Since administrators form an integral partof these services, a key aspect of this work is to build environmentsand tools that ease the task of service administration. In particular,environments which would help administrators know how their actionsmight impact the real service (before performing them for real), webelieve would be useful in preventing inadvertent actions. This surveytries to understand the existing environments, what administrators docurrently to test the 'validity' of their actions, and the difficultiesthey face in doing so. The two specific systems we are looking at arenetworks and databases, as we believe these are important components ofmany services.If you have any questions regarding this survey or our work, feel freeto email us:Fabio Oliveira (fabiool at cs || rutgers || edu), orKiran Nagaraja (knagaraj at cs || rutgers || edu)Thanks for your time,Fabio OliveiraPhD student, Vivo Research Group (http://vivo.cs.rutgers.edu)Rutgers University

Web Survey Database Design

Aug 26, 2005

I am a developer and I have a problem trying to design a system tomanage data coming from web surveys. Each section can potentially havedozens of questions, i.e., fields.I am focusing here only on the table(s) that will hold the survey data.I do not have any DDL as I am still trying to understand this!All the examples I have found so far in books and on the web seem todeal with fairly limited data, that is easily, or so it looks, brokendown in multiple tables.It seems that, from my research, having a wide table per survey sectionwith each field as a column, which has been suggested to me, is notproper design for many reasons - missing values for non-requiredquestions, table with 100s of possible columns, etc... - so I playedwith the idea of a single table where one of the columns would be theforeign key pointing to a questions table and another column would holdthe data (this is a simplified explanation.)The problem with this is that now this column will have to accomodateall types of data, from bits to large varchars, and that fieldvalidation seems now impossible jeopardizing data integrity.What do knowledgeable designers come up with in this case? Can someonepoint me in the right direction?Jerry

DB Design Question - Survey System

Jul 23, 2005

I've written several survey systems in which the majority of the questionshave the same or similar responses (Yes/No, True/False, scale of 1 - 5,etc).But this latest survey system I'm working on has 8-10 sections, with avariety of question attributes and answer scales. Some items have just adescription and require a Yes/No answer, others have a description and anactive status and require a Yes/No and price answer, some require a comment,etc.Rather than build a separate response table for each survey section, I wasthinking of building one generic response table, and trying to force allsections to fit by adding columns - some of which won't apply to some items.Like this:Survey Category (will apply to all items)Survey Section (will apply to all items)Item Description (will apply to all items)Item YN (will apply to all items)Item Price (will apply to about 10% of the items)Item Points (will apply to about 10% of the items)Item Active YN (will apply to about 10% of the items)Item Fail YN (will apply to about 10% of the items)Item Comment (will apply to about 10% of the items)For instance, in the structure above the field "Item YN" would representmultiple types of answers: is the item in use?, is the item in place?, isthe item given away for free?, is the item on display?, etc. Basically,anywhere a Yes/No answer is used.The advantage is one source table (rather than 8) for storing answers, andit might be easier to query and report on.The disadvantages I see are 1) it's more difficult to understand the meaningof the responses when the answer field is named Item YN, and 2) you have anon-normalized table that's difficult for a 3rd party to understand.If I have the questions and responses in separate tables, I'll use nameslike "ItemComplimentaryYN" and "ItemUsedYN" depending on the question. It'seasier for others to learn the data.I actually don't like the "generic" approach, and probably won't use it, butI figured I'd try to get some input from others who've written surveysystems.Thanks

Using Nvarchar(max) For All Data Types In A Survey System

Apr 23, 2008

I am working on a survey system with another DB Engineer.Our current design includes 1 table per Question Type (Numeric, Boolean, Text), Response values are tightly coupled based on data being entered, to keep things simple assume there are only 6 tables in this this system (1 for each Question Type to define the "rules" of the data entered, and 1 for each Response collection).He is a former .Net programmer and has been talking with the .Net guys on the project and he is proposing that we abstract our Question Types to use one table and store the Input Values all as nvarchar(max).This obviously simplifies the DB design and reduces the amount of work I will need to do so I should be all for it. I guess I am a little concerned that we are no longer tightly coupling the data types and essentially leaving all the validation up to the application. Also should I be worried that a bunch of bit data will be stored as 1/0 in an nvarchar(max) column?Thanks,-John

Design Question For Survey/questionnaire Type Application

Dec 20, 2007

I am a developer and I have a problem trying to design a system to
manage data coming from web surveys. On average each subject will take
part in more than one survey and each survey may potentially have 100+
questions.

I am focusing here only on the table(s) that will hold the survey
data.

I'm thinking about having a wide table storing each question in the
survey(s) as a column against the subjects. My main concerns with this
approach:

- the "yuckiness" and potentially other performance issues(?)
associated with a table with 100s of columns
- the 8kb size limit per row (unlikely to touch it, but possible)
- 1024 column limit (unlikely to touch it, but possible)

Another approach obviously is to have a single table where we have, in
a simplified version, 3 columns: person_id, question_id and data/
answer. The problem with this is that the "data" column will have to
accommodate
all types of data, from bits to varchars, and that field validation
seems now impossible jeopardizing data integrity, and most
importantly, you can't easily work with the data in filtering/
reporting etc.

What do knowledgeable designers come up with in this case? Can someone
point me in the right direction?

Analysis :: Conditional Sum Based On Latest Survey Answer

Jul 24, 2015

Basically our cube contains two different Facts:

- Sales Volume: Information about sold articles to a customer incl. Selling date
- Survey: irregular answered survey questions about customers incl. date of answer
and three Dimensions:
- Customer
- Date
- Survey Answer: Information about possible Answer values (e.g. Yes / No)

Relations:
Fact: Sales Volume  ------>  Dim: Customer  <------  Fact: Survey   ------>  Dim: Survey Answer
                    '-------------->      Dim: Date       <----------------'

We would like to be able to determine the aggregated sales volume (sum) of a customer for a specific period depending on the latest survey answer within this period.

For example:
Selected Time period: Jan - Jul 2015
Sales Volume Customer X - Jan - Jul 2015: 1000 Litres
Sales Volume Customer Y - Jan - Jul 2015: 500 Litres

Surveys answered:

15th Jan 15: Customer X, Survey Question A: Yes
2nd Mar 15: Customer X, Survey Question A: No
20th Apr 15: Customer X, Survey Question A: Yes

10th Feb 15: Customer Y, Survey Question A: Yes
20th Jul 15: Customer Y, Survey Question A: No

Latest survey answer (Jan-Jul) Customer X, Question A: Yes
Latest survey answer (Jan-Jul) Customer Y, Question A: No

Excel Pivot should show something like this:

Question       |      Latest Answer:     Yes                |       No         |

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A                    |     1000 Litres     |    500 Litres    |

How this is possible and has to be implemented?

Any Chance Of Using The AVG() Function To Ignore The Zero Value??

Dec 27, 2007

Hi! I'm wondering if there is a way to have the AVG() not to include the zero amount as part of the calculation. I'm looking
the field, PurchPrice and RepairCost that are used by the AVG() function...


Code:


SELECT Year, MakeID, ModelID, Style, AVG(PurchPrice), AVG(RepairCost)FROM vwAvgPurchase

WHERE StockDate >= (GETDATE()- 365)
GROUP BY Year,MakeID,ModelID, Style



I don't want to do this way...


Code:


SELECT Year, MakeID, ModelID, Style, AVG(PurchPrice), AVG(RepairCost)FROM vwAvgPurchase

WHERE StockDate >= (GETDATE()- 365)
and (PurchPrice > 0 or RepairCost > 0)

GROUP BY Year,MakeID,ModelID, Style



because the PurchPrice would sometime be zero and the RepairCost wouldn't be zero.

Memory Configurations For SQL Server 2005 EE X64 With SQL Server 2000 EE X32 On Windows Server EE X64 Server

Apr 20, 2007

My server is a dual AMD x64 2.19 GHz with 8 GB RAM running under Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition with service pack 1 installed. We have SQL 2000 32-bit Enterprise installed in the default instance. AWE is enabled using Dynamically configured SQL Server memory with 6215 MB minimum memory and 6656 maximum memory settings.

I have now installed, side-by-side, SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition in a separate named instance. Everything is running fine but I believe SQL Server2005 could run faster and need to ensure I am giving it plenty of resources. I realize AWE is not needed with SQL Server 2005 and I have seen suggestions to grant the SQL Server account the 'lock pages in memory' rights. This box only runs the SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 server databases and I would like to ensure, if possible, that each is splitting the available memory equally, at least until we can retire SQL Server 2000 next year. Any suggestions?

The db server is sitting out side the Company's firewall (don't ask me why). I can access it fine from inside the firewall on my XP box but not from windows server 2003. There is a web server outside the our network that also connects to the db server with no problem and that is running Windows Server 2003 Web Edition.
I can ping the db server from the app server using the IP address.
I tried using the IP address and the port 1402 in my connection string but that didn't work from any machine (XP and Server).
I imagine the issue is somehow related to the company's firewall but why would it only block Windows Server 2003 and not XP?
What do I tell the network admin to change?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Oran

SQL Server 2008 :: Restoring A Database / Server Using A Remote Server As The Service Call?

Jan 4, 2013

if you can restore a database to Server B using Server A as the service. Meaning we would issue the command on Server A but somehow point to Server B as where we want the restore to happen.

The backup file would be in a location independent of both servers.

Help! SQL Server Error - [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server] Invalid Object Name ...

Jul 23, 2005

Dear all,On Win2000 server with SP3, I am trying to access a SQL Server 7.0database, "TestDB", from VB6 via a SQL Server ODBC system DSN using ADO2.7. In SQL Server Enterprise Manager, there is a login named "Tester".In its property window, NO "Server Roles" was assigned but its"Database Access" was set to "TestDB". This login was also made as theuser of "TestDB" with "public", "db_datareader" and "db_datawriter"selected as its "Database role membership". All the tables I am tryingto access in "TestDB" were created under "Tester".My code is like:Set conn = New ADODB.Connectionconn.Open "DSN=TestDSN;UID=Tester;PWD=test"Set cmd = New ADODB.Commandcmd.ActiveConnection = conncmd.CommandText = SQLset rs = cmd.Execute()If I set the SQL to something like "SELECT * FROM tbl_test", I alwaysget an error of "-2147217865" saying "[Microsoft][ODBC SQL ServerDriver][SQL Server] Invalid object name tbl_test". If I set the SQL to"SELECT * FROM Tester.tbl_test", everything runs properly. Could anyoneplease kindly advise why the first SQL is not working? Or in otherwords, why must I prefix the table name with its owner while the DBconnection is already made under that owner name? Thanks in advance.Tracy
