  1. The 12th day of SQL

    My Christmas tree is like this post; short, easy to assemble, and a little tacky. So, at the first FreeCon, a bunch of writers gathered together and talked about stuff. Most of the stuff we talked about was how to be a better technical writer, as well as how to ...

  2. Does sp_executesql Handle Batch Separators (i.e. GO)?

    The answer is no, but I saw something interesting when I was finding out (sometimes a one minute experiment is more effective than looking up behavior on books online). I ran the following: EXEC SP_EXECUTESQL N'select 1 go select 2 go' Now, before reading further try to guess what ...

  3. Modifying SSRS Rendering

    In my last post I outlined how to remove a rendering format from the report manager by modifying the “rsreportserver.config” file. Another useful configuration to the “Render” element is the ability to add rendering formats. Consider a report that renders in the report manager like this: All is well ...

  4. What should Developers know about SQL Server?

    Back at Tech Ed 2010 a good friend Robert Cain (blog | twitter) and I were wondering the exhibit hall floor and we got stopped by the guys from the Deep Fried Bytes pod cast and they asked us if we’d be willing to sit down a record a pod ...

Server local connection provider has stopped listening on [ \\.\pipe\SQLLocal\MSSQLSERVER ] due to a failure. Error: 0xe8, state: 4. The server will automatically attempt to re-establish listening.

  6. PASS Summit Speaker Evals – THE ANALYSIS

    Rule: No Sushi with Adam within 24 hours of session I’m inspired by Brent Ozar‘s and Andy Leonard‘s sharing of their PASS feedback scores and comments. But first, I’m going to tell you how I think my PASS session went: I give it a C+. 118 ...

  7. PASS Summit 2010 Survey Results

    As I have done in previous years, I’m going to post the results from my sessions at the PASS Summit. Feedback is a gift. I received a great many gifts this year and I’m extremely happy about all of them. There are a set of questions with ratings ...

  8. Filling in Data Potholes with Recursive CTEs

    Data: it can break your foot. Imagine that you are writing a script that looks at data grouped by the minute. You notice that there are no rows for some minutes, and you’d like to display a value when that is the case, probably showing a count of ...

  9. Filling in Data Potholes with Recursive CTEs

    Imagine that you are writing a script that looks at data grouped by the minute. You notice that there are no rows for some minutes, and you’d like to display a value when that is the case, probably showing a count of zero. In thinking about this problem this ...
