  • Developer’s Life – Summary of Superhero Articles

    - by Pinal Dave
    Earlier this year, I wrote an article series where I talked about developer’s life and compared it with Superhero. I have got amazing response to this series and I have been receiving quite a lots of email suggesting that I should write more blog post about them. Currently I am not planning to write more blog post but I will soon continue another series. In this blog post, I have summarized the entire series. Let me know if you want me to write about any superhero. I will see what I can do about that hero. Developer’s Life – Every Developer is a Captain America Captain America was first created as a comic book character in the 1940’s as a way to boost morale during World War II.  Aimed at a children’s audience, his legacy faded away when the war ended.  However, he has recently has a major reboot to become a popular movie character that deals with modern issues. Developer’s Life – Every Developer is the Incredible Hulk The Incredible Hulk is possibly one of the scariest superheroes out there.  All superheroes are meant to be “out of this world” and awe-inspiring, but I think most people will agree with I say The Hulk takes this to the next level.  He is the result of an industrial accident, which is scary enough in it’s own right.  Plus, when mild-mannered Bruce Banner is angered, he goes completely out-of-control and transforms into a destructive monster that he cannot control and has no memories of. Developer’s Life – Every Developer is a Wonder Woman We have focused a lot lately on this “superhero series.”  I love fantasy books and movies, and I feel like there is a lot to be learned from them.  As I am writing this series, though, I have noticed that every super hero I write about is a man.  So today, I would like to talk about the major female super hero – Wonder Woman. Developer’s Life – Every Developer is a Harry Potter Harry Potter might not be a superhero in the traditional sense, but I believe he still has a lot to teach us and show us about life as a developer.  If you have been living under a rock for the last 17 years, you might not know that Harry Potter is the main character in an extremely popular series of books and movies documenting the education and tribulation of a young wizard (and his friends). Developer’s Life – Every Developer is Like Transformers Transformers may not be superheroes – they don’t wear capes, they don’t have amazing powers outside of their size and folding ability, they’re not even human (technically).  Part of their enduring popularity is that while we are enjoying over-the-top movies, we are learning about good leadership and strong personal skills. Developer’s Life – Every Developer is a Iron Man Iron Man is another superhero who is not naturally “super,” but relies on his brain (and money) to turn him into a fighting machine.  While traditional superheroes are still popular, a three-movie franchise and incorporation into the new Avengers series shows that Iron Man is popular enough on his own. Developer’s Life – Every Developer is a Sherlock Holmes I have been thinking a lot about how developers are like super heroes, and I have written two blog posts now comparing them to Spiderman and Superman.  I have a lot of love and respect for developers, and I hope that they are enjoying these articles, and others are learning a little bit about the profession.  There is another fictional character who, while not technically asuper hero, is very powerful, and I also think stands as a good example of a developer. That character is Sherlock Holmes.  Sherlock Holmes is a British detective, first made popular at the turn of the 19thcentury by author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.  The original Sherlock Holmes was a brilliant detective who could solve the most mind-boggling crime through simple observations and deduction. Developer’s Life – Every Developer is a Chhota Bheem Chhota Bheem is a cartoon character that is extremely popular where I live.  He is my daughter’s favorite characters.  I like to say that children love Chhota Bheem more than their parents – it is lucky for us he is not real!  Children love Chhota Bheem because he is the absolute “good guy.”  He is smart, loyal, and strong.  He and his friends live in Dholakpur and fight off their many enemies – and always win – in every episode.  In each episode, they learn something about friendship, bravery, and being kind to others.  Chhota Bheem is a good role model for children, and I think that he is a good role model for developers are well. Developer’s Life – Every Developer is a Batman Batman is one of the darkest superheroes in the fantasy canon.  He does not come to his powers through any sort of magical coincidence or radioactive insect, but through a lot of psychological scarring caused by witnessing the death of his parents.  Despite his dark back story, he possesses a lot of admirable abilities that I feel bear comparison to developers. Developer’s Life – Every Developer is a Superman I enjoyed comparing developers to Spiderman so much, that I have decided to continue the trend and encourage some of my favorite people (developers) with another favorite superhero – Superman.  Superman is probably the most famous superhero – and one of the most inspiring. Developer’s Life – Every Developer is a Spiderman I have to admit, Spiderman is my favorite superhero.  The most recent movie recently was released in theaters, so it has been at the front of my mind for some time. Spiderman was my favorite superhero even before the latest movie came out, but of course I took my whole family to see the movie as soon as I could!  Every one of us loved it, including my daughter.  We all left the movie thinking how great it would be to be Spiderman.  So, with that in mind, I started thinking about how we are like Spiderman in our everyday lives, especially developers. I would like to know which Superhero is your favorite hero!

  • Triggers, Service Broker, CDC or Change Tracking?

    - by Derek D.
    When one trigger inserts into a table and that table also contains a trigger, this is a “nested trigger”. The reason that nested triggers are a concern is because the first call that performs the initial insert does not return until the last trigger in sequence is complete. In trying to circumvent this [...]

  • Using OpenQuery

    - by Derek Dieter
    The OPENQUERY command is used to initiate an ad-hoc distributed query using a linked-server. It is initiated by specifying OPENQUERY as the table name in the from clause. Essentially, it opens a linked server, then executes a query as if executing from that server. While executing queries directly and receiving data directly in this [...]

  • Simulate ROW_NUMBER in SQL 2000

    - by Derek Dieter
    While the row_number feature in sql 2005+ has proven to be a very powerful feature, there are still ways to implement that same functionality in SQL Server 2000. Let’s first look at the SQL 2005+ implementation of ROW_NUMBER, then compare it to the SQL 2000:-- SQL 2005+ SELECT RowNumber = ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY c.LastName ASC) ,c.LastName ,c.FirstName FROM [...]

  • SQL Server Boolean (bit datatype)

    - by Derek D.
    In SQL Server, boolean values can be represented using the bit datatype. Bit values differ from boolean values in that a bit can actually be one of three values 1, 0, or NULL; while booleans can only either be true or false. When assigning bits, it is best to use 1 or zero [...]

  • SQL Server Contains Equivalent

    - by Derek D.
    Many Oracle developers trying to find the SQL Server function compatible with their Contains clause will most likely accidently end up on this page. Therefore, this page will be devoted to them rather than the SQL Server’s Contains function which is used for full-text searching. The most similar function to Oracle’s contains is charindex. The usage [...]

  • Extracting Data from a Source System to History Tables

    - by Derek D.
    This is a topic I find very little information written about, however it is very important that the method for extracting data be done in a way that does not hinder performance of the source system.  In this example, the goal is to extract data from a source system, into another database (or server) all [...]

  • SQL Rank

    - by Derek Dieter
    The SQL Rank function was introduced in SQL Server 2005 and is part of a family of ranking functions. In order to explain the SQL Rank function, we need to look at it in context with the other rank functions.RANK DENSE_RANK ROW_NUMBER NTILEThis list may seem overwhelming, however most of the ranking functions are rather similar. First, the [...]

  • Temp Table Recompiles

    - by Derek D.
    If you landed on this article, then you most likely know that temp tables can cause recompilation. This happens because temp tables are treated just like regular tables by the SQL Server Engine. When the tables (in which underlying queries rely on) change significantly, SQL Server detects this change (using auto update statistics) [...]

  • Delete Job by Name

    - by Derek D.
    When scripting out jobs using ssms (sql server management studio) the default script for a drop statement is to drop the job according to it’s job_id. This is not beneficial however when pushing code to different environments. Job_id’s are specific to the windows environment in which they are created. To get around [...]

  • using sp_addrolemember

    - by Derek Dieter
    To add a user or group to a role, you need to use sp_addrolemember. This procedure is easy to use as it only accepts two parameters, the role name, and the username (or group). Roles are utilized in order to provide a layer of abstraction from permissions from being applied directly to users. While [...]

To do this is simple, it requires utilizing the GROUP BY clause and counting the number of recurrences. For example, lets take a customers table.

    The clustered index on a table can be defined as: the sort order for how the data for the table is actually stored. Being that the clustered index is the actual data itself, you cannot have two clustered indexes. You can however have many non clustered indexes. These non clustered indexes are [...]
