I recently had a conversation with Pat Helland on the ASPNETPodcast (link here). It was a real treat for me for the simple fact that Pat is very easy to talk with. But, he has been involved in some really interesting projects over his career which gives him [in my opinion] a unique perspective to discuss cloud computing and other related technologies. One of the big questions that I think people have is "How will I use this 'cloud' in my day to day programming?" - perhaps o ...

Microsoft has been working on a great venture: "Velocity". I have a great interest in that, since over the past couple of years I have been looking at ways to make cache be more effective for applications. I've started giving talks and demonstrations with Microsoft Velocity. Here are some basics (from a console app perspective): using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Data.Caching; namespace Velocity1 { ...

I was having a discussion with another DBA the other day about a particular stored procedure. It was a paging stored procedure with a number of other tasks to do. He was adamant about me including the NOLOCK hint for the SELECT statements. He ranted a bit about how it was "best practice" to use the NOLOCK hint on all SELECT statements. I retorted with a different general statement of "let's optimize first and then see where we are." I added that I felt it was a la ...

Periodically people send me emails or some other form of a message asking me for help with problems that are facing. Since I have some proficiencies in mathematics, in some cases the problems tend to be very related to mathematics. One such problem came to me from someone I have never met, but know on Twitter. He called it his "Rate Mix Math Problem". What I want to do with this post is to describe what my thought processes were to analyze this problem and help ...

I find it very helpful that when I am developing applications that use a database to see what is being sent to the database. Now, let’s be clear – I think anyone that does any development against a SQL Server database should be aware of SQL Profiler and can use its basic functionality. So, to help speed some of that up (devs are always looking for shortcuts) here are the command line options, one of my samples and descriptions of the options. Very simply put, you can begin a trace with trusted ...

Many times I see web developers using many tools to help them with their day to day duties. WebDevs use VS.Net, stripped down text editors, CSS tools, JavaScript tools, browser plug-ins…the list is never-ending. Not to mention the languages (ASP.NET, PHP, Ruby, etc.) One thing typically in common with all of the WebDevs is the usage of database technologies. In the Microsoft world, this more often means SQL Server. One of the most underrated (and perhaps underused) tools that WebDevs shoul ...

There has been some discussion about shortcuts to SQL Server metadata on some of the mailing lists I am on. I thought I'd share the shortcuts I use on a daily basis with people. Now for my listing. I'll include the defaults from SQL Server already. To get to the shortcut menu, click on Tools...Options...Keyboard. You may need to close out all instances of SSMS and restart it for changes to take effect. Shortcuts Selected Objectname Stored Procedure Alt+F1 Y/N ...

Someone on one of the SQL Server lists I subscribe to proposed a question earlier today - How do you trim leading and trailing characters? In this case, the desired string was a numerical string, and the character to trim was a period. There were several responses to that question. I felt compelled to write a blog post afterwards. declare @s varchar(20) set @s = '...1234.56...' select substring( @s /* w ...
