Right- I Need Training!!
May 12, 2006Hi 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, 2006I 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.

SQL Training In London
Mar 26, 2006Hi there.

Can anyone suggest any good companies that can take me from little knowledge of SQL into a certified dba?
Input On Training
May 8, 2007Hi 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, 2006I'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, 2008We 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, 2006I 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, 2007Hi, 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.

How To Deal With Missing_value In The Training Data?
Jul 11, 2007Hi, all experts here,
Thanks for your kind attention.
I have a question on missing_value substitution. As we know in the algorithm parametres setting, there is an option for us to select the method to deal with the missing_value: None, Previous, or Mean. My question is: to numeric data column, we can select Mean method to deal with its missing value. But how about discrete type of data column? What is the best practice to deal with this kind of data? I do think it to a great extent matters the quality of the models being trained?
Can please any of you guys here give me any advices and suggestions on this based on what best practices you have got?
I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly and thanks a lot in advance.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,
Data Mining Training Courses
Apr 27, 2007I have been trying to use SQL 2005 data mining for about 8 weeks. I am becoming frustrated because I am not able to make progress nor am I able to exploit the power of the system.
I need a training course! I have asked Microsoft in UK for recommendations but they have been unable to help. I have searched for courses in the UK and US without sucess.
I am coming to the Microsoft BI event in Seattle - will there be any opportunities there to get help or find help? (In Seattle I intend to concentrate on the Excel add ins)
Thank you
