  1. CBusPASS Meeting Recap

    Thanks to everyone who made it out to the CBusPASS meeting tonight. A special thanks to Brent Ozar for taking time out of his evening to deliver his presentation on Using Cloud-Based BI to Interpret Perfmon & Profiler Results.

  2. SQL Server & XML: links of interest

    I’ve been working on a project recently that requires using XML in SQL Server, so I’ve been searching the web to find references. Books Online is unusually obtuse on this subject (the samples are sub-par for this complex subject), so I’ve been trying to find good examples ...

  3. Plagiarism, Contracts, and You

    It was bound to happen sooner or later, and this week, it did: SQLServerPedia got its first complaint about plagiarism.  We were contacted by a well-known author (we’ll call him Author #1) and his publishing firm who had noticed a disturbing similarity between a chapter in their book and ...

Reason: Token-based server access validation failed with an infrastructure error. Check for previous errors. [CLIENT: <local machine>] Um ...

  7. Does order matter in a JOIN clause?

    Note: This is a repost of a popular article I wrote just over a year ago on my SQLTeam blog site. The original posting received quite a few comments and I’ve gotten more than a few direct emails about it. Many people were asking about the answer to questions ...

  8. More PowerShell Basics

    Because of the data center move, we have a number of different functions that we’re running on totally different sets of servers on different days. None of this is part of our normal maintenance routines, so I’ve been using it as a great opportunity to stretch a little ...
