I need to know what exactly other languages [C#/VB.net/ADO/XML/ASP.net..etc] that I should learn in order for me to be able to excel in SQL Development.

I started getting my hands dirty with some SSIS / SSRS & SSAS, but inorder for me to handle situations such as [Find if file exist in ftp before loading, Checking a certain row of a data file before processing/ Zipping and Unzipping data files and etc...] What should I need to know well in order for me to add more value to my skills?
I would like to learn 1 language and master it pretty well.What are your suggestions?

And what is this CLR that is being talked about ?Does it use other language besides SQL?

How Can I Jump Start My SQL Server Skills (particularly On Transact SQL)

Jul 12, 2006



Hi,

Can some participants in this forum provide ideas on suggested training for somebody with a basic knowledge of SQL (started working in this field 6 months ago and still feel like a newbie beginner).

I assume I should focus on getting T-SQL nailed down before delving into the SSIS piece of SQL Server 2005?

Maybe there are a few companies that seem to give good practical knowledge and are located in the greater Los Angeles metro area?

Is it better to get certified through a 1 week or 2 week course via companies like Trainingcamp - does that really give you the practical skills to jump up several levels at one does at work?

Hope I can get some suggestions or direction on where I could best post this question for answers.

Regards,

Patrick

DB Engine :: Replicate A Master Test Database To 100 Test Environments?

Oct 12, 2015

We are setting up a test lab environment with 100 machines.  We want one master testing db that gets replicated to each to run scripted application tests nightly.  

My goal is to minimize the amount of work to move this thing to each of the 100 test machines.  I am wondering if we need to even have the sql local and invest in a monster db server with 100 copies of the db we restore and each test machine point to their own db on that server, or if I should use db mirroring or something to get the master test db to each of those machines instead.

Does Anyone Know Where I Can Connect To A Test SQL Box?

I recently lost my job and wanted to do some test development to keep my skills up to date. The problem is I don't have access to any data sources. Is there such a thing around?  I tried installing microsoft's trial of SQL 2005 but can't get it to run on my laptop and SQL 2000 trial no longer exists. I simply need to create a SQL db/tables etc. Thanks in advance.

Test For Changes With HashBytes

Sep 25, 2007

Hi!
I am currently utilizing the checksum function to generate a hash that I later compare to detect changes in a row.
CHECKSUM(field1, field2, field3, field4)
Now I'd like to use the HashBytes function instead over the same fields. But the HashBytes function accepts only one data value. What is the most effective and reliable way of getting an MD5 over several fields?
Thanks

Test A Query

Apr 10, 2008

Hi.
I have an application where I allow users to type in their SQL queries. Before I store those queries I have to make sure that they are correct, both syntax-wise and data type-wise. For that I execute the query against the database and trap any errors that may be returned and that's how I judge if the query was OK.
In order to keep this test as quick as possible, I tried to add a WHERE clause to it like: WHERE 1=2, so no results are returned. But then I discovered that the addition keeps errors from happening if they are of ata type nature.For instance "select orderid + 'test' from orders where 1=2", run against the Northwind database, returns no errors, while OrderID is numeric and U'm adding a string to it!
Next, I tried to return only one row: "select top 1 orderid + 'test' from orders". This time the error is thrown, however the query still takes a looong time when run on a huge table. I don't kknow why that is, but it seems that the engine runs the query for the entire table and then gets the first row!
Does anyone have an idea ehat's happening or have a better suggestion on how I can perform my test without killing the database?
Thanks.

SQL Connectivity Test?

May 1, 2006

Hi -

I'm having a problem with a VB6 program I'm writing that posts data to a SQL server. The problem occurs when the SQL server is unavailable. When this happens it causes the program to hang for at least 30 seconds before releasing. The hang happens at the code that connects to the SQL server, because the server isn't there. I've added code found on this site to test the connectivity prior to making my actual data connection, but this causes the same hang. Is there any way to verify connectivity to an SQL server without actually trying to make the connection? I'm really trying to eliminate the hang that occurs when the server is unavailable.

Thanks

Is This SQL Test Too Hard?

May 17, 2007

I have gotten some criticism from coworkers regarding this test and just wanted to see what you guys think. I realize the wording could use improvement and any criticism towards making it easier to understand is much appreciated.FWIW - I had to solve this problem on the job so I feel it is a real-world test that helps me understand how people think and if they try to find alternate solutions.Thanks!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Given a table that has over 100,000 records…SUBSIDIARY=========PARENT_IDINTCHILD_IDINTULTIMATE_PARENT_IDINTCLEANUP_INDBIT…where each PARENT_ID can have multiple CHILD_ID values, but the PARENT_ID should not equal the CHILD_ID. After an initial data load, the ULTIMATE_PARENT_ID and CLEANUP_IND columns contain NULL values (see page 2 for sample data).ULTIMATE_PARENT_ID is defined as the topmost parent in the chain for the particular CHILD_ID record, so if the chain was only 2-level’s deep the ULTIMATE_PARENT_ID is the CHILD_ID’s PARENT_ID’s PARENT_ID.Please write an answer for all three questions below:A)Which of the following queries should you run first?B)Write an optimized query to identify the ULTIMATE_PARENT_ID for each CHILD_ID and set its value into the ULTIMATE_PARENT_ID column.C)Write a query to identify ALL of the circular references and mark each record that is a circular reference by updating the CLEANUP_IND column to 1.~~~~~~~~~ Page 2 ~~~~~~~~~ Sample Data, remember though this table has over 100,000 records and the parent-child chain can go n-levels deep – where n is not known.PARENT_IDCHILD_IDULTIMATE_PARENT_IDCLEANUP_IND1024512NULLNULL362300NULLNULL887541NULLNULL10221024NULLNULL546887NULLNULL5122305NULLNULL112967NULLNULL697123NULLNULL901452NULLNULL2300666NULLNULL334445NULLNULL512903NULLNULL884554NULLNULL313313NULLNULL554884NULLNULL112119NULLNULL967555NULLNULL2305333NULLNULL33336NULLNULL541546NULLNULL10301020NULLNULL112999NULLNULL

How To Test Scalability

Dec 5, 2007

Hi,

Whats the best way to test scalability on a database? I'm working on a new app, and have handed off developing the database to someone with more experience. Some tables will grow to many million records, and I don't want it to bottleneck. I need to have it fully tested before it goes live.

Is it reasonable to ask the person helping me to fill it with 10's of millions of rows to test performance? Is this a decent solution? If so, what would the best way to fill it be? If not, what steps should I take?

Thanks very much!

DR Test Scenario

Apr 25, 2007

Hello All



We have Asynchronous DB Mirroring established for our Production database

which runs on SQL Server 2005.



For the DR Test we plan to do the following during the period of low activity :



1. Pause the mirroring on the Principal Server.

2. Break the mirror on the Mirror Server

3. Take on offline backup on the Mirror.

4. Bring the Mirror Database up.

5. Run the DR Tests on the Mirrored Database

6. Restore the Offline Backup taken in step 3.

7. Reestablish the mirror from the Principal to Mirror.

8. Resume Mirroring on the Principal Server.

9. Verify Mirroring is happening on the Mirror Server



Can u please let me know if this plan is feasible and if there should be any modifications to the plan that are required. Any other suggestions/input is appreciated.



TIA



Best,

Jay

Test Run A Subscription

Nov 30, 2007



Is there a way to manually run a subscription? I have a report with an email subscription. The only way I know of to test it is to set the schedule for a minute or two in the future and wait for it to run. Is there any way of telling the subscription to "run now"?

For that matter, how can I run a subscription manually from a Stored Procedure?

Thanks,
