SQL Server Training

Feb 14, 2008

I think my employer will pay for some SQL training because I have a lot to learn and our needs are fairly involved.

It's my intention to learn and become MCTS in SQL Server 2005 and SQL Server 2005 Business Intelligence.

Where will we get the best bang for the buck for training in these areas?

Buying SQL Server For MCTS Training?

Mar 18, 2008

Hi Everyone,

I am looking to buy SQL Server for my home computer solely for the purpose of training for Exam 70-431 Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist: SQL Server 2005. My inclination is to buy SQL Server Developer Edition from Amazon.com for $41.99. Is this the best thing for me to do? What is the difference between Developer, Express and Standard in terms of training for the certification exam?


Thanks!

Any Good SQL Server Intermediate Training Courses?

Mar 9, 2004

Quick question. I am in the NYC area (Westchester) and I am using Cognos DecisionStream to build my SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Data Warehouse.

I want to learn more about complex SQL, specifically for SQL Server.

What do you reccommend? Should I go for strictly an advanced SQL course, or should I go for SQL Server training.

Does anyone know of a really good site where I can find Advanced SQL training?

Also, I want to learn more about scripting and VB. Can anyone reccommend a place where I can get this beginner training.

Sorry to take up your time, but to sum up:

1. Advanced SQL training in NYC area
2. Beginner VB training in NYC area.

Cost is not necessarily an issue.

Thanks!

Attn Microsoft : Incorrect Screenshot - SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Hands On Training - Creating Custom Components

Jun 25, 2006

Hi All,

I am not sure if this is a correct forum to discuss on the document posted @ http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=1c2a7dd2-3ec3-4641-9407-a5a337bea7d3&displaylang=en on SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) Hands on Training - Creating Custom Components.

I am assuming Microsoft Developers are constantly monitoring this forum.

In the document - SSIS Creating a Custom Transformation Component .doc on Page 2 -
Exercise 1 - Writing the no-op data flow transformation component -
Task 1 - Create a new C# Class Library Project

The textual description talks about creating a new Visual C# Class Library project in VS 2005 but the screenshot accompanying it shows the creation of new "Integration Service Project" in VS 2005.

Please change the screenshot appropriately to avoid confusions.

Thanks,
Loonysan

Right- I Need Training!!

May 12, 2006

Hi all,

my collegue is leaving, his masters in computer science has ensured he has solved most problems we've encountered iver two years...

now im told i need at least a few training sessions under my belt to take over parts of his job.

Basically i need sql server traing and vb but am confused as where to start, a lot of the courses ive looked at assume you have knowledge in certain areas, my problem is i have loads of gaps as ive learnt on the job so need some recommendations- are any of the MS courses geared to people like me or do you need a foundation in the subject....ive read stuff like SAMS teachyourself SQL and found it just doesn't go deep enough....too many examples are just skimmed over....it also doesn't teach you the kind of things i learn here....

im happy to go on a course which repeats stuff i already know whilst teaching me the fundamentals but can only seem to find course geared to specific job roles which require prior knowledge- so where did you guys start? im in the UK btw

SQL Training

Sep 15, 2006

I am new to the SQL enviroment and I am looking for a good course to learn more. I have been in the computer industry for a long time but not exposed to this program. I am looking for some training videos/online/books in order to learn more not just to pass a test for certification. I thought I would check some forums and see if anyone could offer up any suggestions of companies/authors for a person that has computer knowledge but knows nothing about SQL.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Input On Training

May 8, 2007

Hi there,
I'll be going through a training couse for SQL Server next month. The class I'm signed up for is M2780: Maintaining a Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2005. My company uses SQL Server 2000 now and unless I give good reasons to upgrade to 2005, we won't be upgrading. I have very little DBA experience, but since I was told SQL Server is my responsibility, I figured it would make sense to go through some type of training for it. My questions are: Is there enough the same between the two that it makes sense for me to take this class? Are there good business reasons I can give for upgrading? If we don't upgrade is it worth taking a class for 2000 vs 2005?

Thanks for any input.

?Recommendations For Training/conferences?

Mar 22, 2006

I'm a solid SQL developer/dba and have some funds earmarked for training this year. I'd like to expand my dba skills...more specifically, I'd like to become a rock-solid enterprise level dba that has not only a solid foundation of skills but some innovative techniques for managing our corporate SQL servers.

I'm curious if anybody has recommendations on training or conferences that might help me dig into those skillsets for a couple of days.

Thanks for your insight.

Log Shipping For Training Database

May 12, 2008

We have a user Training database that we would like to keep updated from our Production database. Users would make different modifications to the Training and Production databases. It is the user updates on the secondary that bother me and I have not seen anything that indicates Log Shipping would fail if new random records are added to both the secondary and primary.

Would Log Shipping be appropriate for this nightly update of Training from Production?

Thanks

Training A Neural Network

Aug 10, 2006

I have two problems while trying to train a neural network.
My network have 10 continuous input ad 1 discrete output (3 states)

The parameters I chose are :
-Hidden node ratio 10
-Holdout percentage 10

The others are default.

First,when i train it thanks to BI dev studio, the training is very fast (less than 5 seconds) and the results compared with the training set are bad (at least 30% of errors). Is there a way to improve the training (I don't care about the time required to train if it works)?

Second, I decided to train the network using SQL server management studio and I get this error which I can't understand : "Les connexions ad hoc telles que spécifiées dans des clauses OPENROWSET ne peuvent pas être utilisées sur ce serveur". Translated it may be something like "this server can't use ad hoc connections such as specified in OPENROWSET".

My query is :

INSERT INTO MINING model [Associations Learn2]([From Requete1],[From Requete2],
[Keywords1],[Keywords2],[Nb Apparition1],[Nb Apparition2],[Nombre Requete Distincte],[Probabilite],[Titre1],[Titre2],[Type],[Uid])
OPENROWSET
('SQLNCLI.1','Data Source=STAG-XP-EDITION;user=sa;password=***;Initial Catalog=OpenFind_StockagePreNeurone',
'SELECT [From Requete1],[From Requete2],
[Keywords1],[Keywords2],[Nb Apparition1],[Nb Apparition2],[Nombre Requete Distincte],
[Probabilite],[Titre1],[Titre2],[Type],[Uid] FROM associationsLearn2'
)

Could someone explain me the error?

How To Get The Training Error From The Model?

May 9, 2007

Hi, everyone here.

I am trying to get the training error of the model processed which can reveal how much the model fits the cases. The training error can reveal how many cases (from training set) are classified correctly. The lower traing error is, the more the model fits the training set. (Maybe overfitted) But I found it hard to get. I saw the life chart in AS 2005 which I am not quite understand and don't know how to code it in my program.



Is there some way to getting traing error or predicting error?



I am now using this awful way to get the training error:



select t.*,CollegeTree.CollegePlans as pred

from collegetree
prediction join
openquery(DSource,'select * from CollegePlans') as t
on CollegeTree.StudentID = t.StudentID and
...
where t.CollegePlans = CollegeTree.CollegePlans;



and then use datareader.ItemCount to get the count of cases which classified correctly.



Keyword: train error,predict error, data mining, analysis service
