    Abstract: Globally available resources have become the status quo. They're accessible, distributed, and resilient. Our traditional SQL database options haven't kept up. Centralized SQL databases, even those with read replicas in the cloud, put all the transactional load on a central system. The further away that a transaction happens from the user, the more the user experience suffers. If the transactional data powering the application is greatly slowed down, fast-loading web pages mean nothing. In this report, Paul Modderman, Jim Walker, and Charles Custer explain how distributed SQL fits all applications and eliminates complex challenges like sharding from traditional RDBMS systems. You'll learn how distributed SQL databases can reach global scale without introducing the consistency trade-offs found in NoSQL solutions. These databases come to life through cloud computing, while legacy databases simply can't rise to meet the elastic and ubiquitous new paradigm. You'll learn: Key concepts driving this new technology, including the CAP theorem, the Raft consensus algorithm, multiversion concurrency control, and Google Spanner How distributed SQL databases meet enterprise requirements, including management, security, integration, and Everything as a Service (XaaS) The impact that distributed SQL has already made in the telecom, retail, and gaming industries Why serverless computing is an ideal fit for distributed SQL How distributed SQL can help you expand your company's strategic plan.

    Abstract: Know how to track changes and key events in your SQL Server databases in support of application troubleshooting, regulatory compliance, and governance. This book shows how to use key features in SQL Server ,such as SQL Server Audit and Extended Events, to track schema changes, permission changes, and changes to your data. You’ll even learn how to track queries run against specific tables in a database. Not all changes and events can be captured and tracked using SQL Server Audit and Extended Events, and the book goes beyond those features to also show what can be captured using common criteria compliance, change data capture, temporal tables, or querying the SQL Server log. You will learn how to audit just what you need to audit, and how to audit pretty much anything that happens on a SQL Server instance. This book will also help you set up cloud auditing with an emphasis on Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Managed Instance, and AWS RDS SQL Server. You don’t need expensive, third-party auditing tools to make auditing work for you, and to demonstrate and provide value back to your business. This book will help you set up an auditing solution that works for you and your needs. It shows how to collect the audit data that you need, centralize that data for easy reporting, and generate audit reports using built-in SQL Server functionality for use by your own team, developers, and organization’s auditors.

    Abstract: "The video begins with an introduction to basic functions to work with character data and NULL values. From there you'll move on to functions dealing with conditional structures, NULL values, and formatting. You'll also cover aggregate functions to average, count, and summarize data. Finally, this video discusses how to group result sets by a field using the GROUP BY clause, and how to filter those results after they have been grouped -- using the HAVING clause. Functions are the doorway to an ever-increasing number of powerful database engine features and capabilities. There is so much more that you can do in SQL other than simply SELECT data. Functions enable you to take full advantage of the power that's available to you in Microsoft's flagship database engine. This video is the second in a series and leaves you well positioned to step into the next video covering how to select data from multiple tables."--Resource description page.

    Abstract: "Extend your SELECT statements to retrieve data simultaneously from multiple tables in a SQL Server database. This video covers these joins and shows how they are fundamental to getting maximum value from any relational database engine. It is impossible to write professional-level queries without a solid grounding in joins. Selecting Data from Multiple Tables helps you to attain that level of expertise. You will start with an introduction to relationships and joins with a look at the differences between a parent and child table. You'll learn how to define rows in two tables to correspond to each other through a common value column, or through a set of such columns held in common in both tables. The examples show that such relationships can record and store a wide variety of master-detail data points such as, for example, the line items in a customer order. Segments in the video examine the major different join types, including inner joins, left and right outer joins, and full outer joins. You'll also work with self joins and cross joins. Finally, the video goes through various union operations that you can also use to combine rows from two or more tables, but in a manner different from a join. Union operations covered in this video include the basic union, and intersection and exception operations."--Resource description page.

    Abstract: Business Intelligence (BI) has emerged as a field which seeks to support managers in decision-making. It encompasses the techniques, methods and tools for conducting analytically-based IT solutions, which are referred to as OLAP (OnLine Analytical Processing). Within this field, SQL has a role as a leader and is continuously evolving to cover both transactional and analytical data management. This book discusses the functions provided by Microsoft SQL Server 2014/2016 in terms of business intelligence. The analytic functions are considered as an enrichment of the SQL language. They combine a series of practical functions to answer complex analysis requests with all the simplicity, elegance and acquired performance of the SQL language. Drawing on the wide experience of the author in teaching and research, as well as insights from contacts in the industry, this book focuses on the issues and difficulties faced by academics (students and teachers) and professionals engaged in data analysis with the SQL Server 2014/2016 database management system.

    Abstract: "This video provides you with the knowledge to write SELECT statements to retrieve data from a SQL Server database. The video begins with an explanation of fields and records, followed by the anatomy of a SELECT statement. It continues with how to use a WHERE clause to filter specific records into the result set. Since a field can store various data types, the filter section shows how to work with those data types. Finally, there is coverage of how to sort and order a result set. Also covered is the four-part naming convention for tables in SQL Server. A proper understanding of table naming is important as queries become more involved and complex. Table and column aliases are covered as well, which are names that you can provide as substitutes for canonical names that are often long and cumbersome. Aliases provide a level of insulation in your queries from changes to names in the tables and columns that are being queried. While this video is about T-SQL and includes examples specific to SQL Server, the bulk of what you will learn is applicable to any vendor's implementation of the SQL language."--Resource description page.

    Abstract: Quickly find solutions to dozens of common problems encountered while using XML and JSON features that are built into SQL Server. Content is presented in the popular problem-solution format. Look up the problem that you want to solve. Read the solution. Apply the solution directly in your own code. Problem solved! This book shows how to take advantage of XML and JSON to share data and automate tasks. JSON is commonly used to move data back and forth between the database and front-end applications, often running in a browser. This book shows all you need to know about transforming query results into JSON format, and back again. Also covered are the processes and techniques for moving data into and out of XML format for business intelligence and other purposes, such as when transferring data from a reporting system into a data warehouse, or between different database brands such as between SQL Server and Oracle. Microsoft intensively implements XML in SQL Server, and in many related products. Execution plans are generated in XML format, and this book shows you how to parse those plans and automate the detection of performance problems. The relatively new Extended Events feature writes tracing data into XML files, and the recipes in this book help in parsing those files. XML is also used in SQL Server's BI tool set, including in SSIS, SSR, and SSAS. XML is used in many configuration files, and is even behind the construction of DDL triggers. In reading this book you'll dive deeply into the features that allow you to build and parse XML, and also JSON, which is a specific format of XML used to transmit objects in a web-friendly format between a database and its front-end applications.

    Abstract: Learn to build custom SSIS tasks using Visual Studio Community Edition and Visual Basic. Bring all the power of Microsoft .NET to bear on your data integration and ETL processes, and for no added cost over what you've already spent on licensing SQL Server. If you already have a license for SQL Server, then you do not need to spend more money to extend SSIS with custom tasks and components. Why are custom components necessary? Because even though the SSIS catalog of built-in tasks and components is a marvel of engineering, there do remain gaps in the functionality that is provided. These gaps are especially relevant to enterprises practicing Data Integration Lifecycle Management (DILMS) and/or DevOps. One of the gaps is a limitation of the SSIS Execute Package task. Developers using the stock version of that task are unable to select SSIS packages from other projects. Yet it's useful to be able to select and execute tasks across projects, and the example used throughout this book will help you to create an Execute Catalog Package task that does in fact allow you to execute a task from another project. Building on the example's pattern, you can create any task that you like, custom tailored to your specific, data integration and ETL needs. What You Will Learn Configure and execute Visual Studio in the way that best supports SSIS task development Create a class library as the basis for an SSIS task, and reference the needed SSIS assemblies Properly sign assemblies that you create in order to invoke them from your task Implement source code control via Visual Studio Team Services, or your own favorite tool set Code not only your tasks themselves, but also the associated task editors Troubleshoot and then execute your custom tasks as part of your own project Who This Book Is For Database administrators and developers who are involved in ETL projects built around SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS). Readers should have a background in programming along with a desire to optimize their ETL efforts by creating custom-tailored tasks for execution from SSIS packages.

    Abstract: Learn Business Intelligence Markup Language (Biml) for automating much of the repetitive, manual labor involved in data integration. We teach you how to build frameworks and use advanced Biml features to get more out of SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS), Transact-SQL (T-SQL), and SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) than you ever thought possible. The first part of the book starts with the basics-getting your development environment configured, Biml syntax, and scripting essentials. Whether a beginner or a seasoned Biml expert, the next part of the book guides you through the process of using Biml to build a framework that captures both your design patterns and execution management. Design patterns are reusable code blocks that standardize the approach you use to perform certain types of data integration, logging, and other key data functions. Design patterns solve common problems encountered when developing data integration solutions. Because you do not have to build the code from scratch each time, design patterns improve your efficiency as a Biml developer. In addition to leveraging design patterns in your framework, you will learn how to build a robust metadata store and how to package your framework into Biml bundles for deployment within your enterprise. In the last part of the book, we teach you more advanced Biml features and capabilities, such as SSAS development, T-SQL recipes, documentation autogeneration, and Biml troubleshooting. The Biml Book : Provides practical and applicable examples Teaches you how to use Biml to reduce development time while improving quality Takes you through solutions to common data integration and BI challenges What You'll Learn Master the basics of Business Intelligence Markup Language (Biml) Study patterns for automating SSIS package generation Build a Biml Framework Import and transform database schemas Automate generation of scripts and projects Who This Book Is For BI developers wishing to quickly locate previously tested solutions, Microsoft BI specialists, those seeking more information about solution automation and code generation, and practitioners of Data Integration Lifecycle Management (DILM) in the DevOps enterprise

    Abstract: Learn effective and scalable database design techniques in a SQL Server 2016 and higher environment. This book is revised to cover in-memory online transaction processing, temporal data storage, row-level security, durability enhancements, and other design-related features that are new or changed in SQL Server 2016. Designing an effective and scalable database using SQL Server is a task requiring skills that have been around for forty years coupled with technology that is constantly changing. Pro SQL Server Relational Database Design and Implementation covers everything from design logic that business users will understand, all the way to the physical implementation of design in a SQL Server database. Grounded in best practices and a solid understanding of the underlying theory, Louis Davidson shows how to "get it right" in SQL Server database design and lay a solid groundwork for the future use of valuable business data. The pace of change in relational database management systems has been tremendous these past few years. Whereas in the past it was enough to think about optimizing data residing on spinning hard drives, today one also must consider solid-state storage as well as data that are constantly held in memory and never written to disk at all except as a backup. Furthermore, there is a trend toward hybrid cloud and on-premise database configurations as well a move toward preconfigured appliances. Pro SQL Server Relational Database Design and Implementation guides in the understanding of these massive changes and in their application toward sound database design.

    Abstract: This book is a complete guide to setting up and maintaining maintenance plans for SQL Server Database Administrators. Maintenance plans too often consist of a backup task and that's it, but there is so much more that can and must be done to ensure the integrity of your most important company resource -- the data you are tasked to manage and safeguard. This book walks even the newest of users through creating a powerful, automated maintenance plan. Automate your job using SQL Server Agent to leverage the power of Maintenance Plans to deliver real, proactive solutions to common issues. Schedule common tasks such as backups and index rebuilds to run automatically, and get early-warning notifications of impending problems relating to resource usage and query performance. By the time your boss knows to call you about a problem, you'll have already called him to describe your solution. The large majority of books never really cover the topic of inheriting a database server with multiple live databases; the common thread is that the databases will be created and maintained by the reader forever and ever. In the real world, that scenario rarely happens. Practical Maintenance Plans in SQL Server covers that scenario and provides you with the knowledge and tools needed to get comfortable writing your own maintenance plans for any SQL Server database, whether created by you or inherited. Shows the different tasks that can be run in a maintenance plan. Explains how and why those tasks can be implemented. Provides a roadmap to creating your own custom maintenance plan. What You Will Learn Implement a completely automated backup maintenance plan Be alerted to performance problems and outages ahead of your boss Learn the different types of database maintenance tasks Plan the workflow of tasks within a maintenance plan Automate your work by implementing custom maintenance plans Who This Book Is For Practical Maintenance Plans in SQL Server is for any level of database administrator, but specifically it's for those administrators with a real need to set up a powerful maintenance plan quickly. New and seasoned administrators will appreciate the book for its robust learning pattern of visual aids in combination with explanations and scenarios. P ractical Maintenance Plans in SQL Server is the perfect "new hire" gift for new database administrators in any organization.

    Abstract: "Business users and analysts want quick, practical knowledge. Regarding SQL and database topics, they are more interested in how to use data rather than create it (this means the SELECT statement is highly relevant to them). As they progress they will likely want to know how to create their own databases, but only to a certain extent. The business logic of database design is likely what they are interested in. They may want to understand basic table design principles and a high-level understanding of normalization. But security, administration, data theory, and other DBA/engineering tasks will likely not be relevant to them. Typically when business users prototype a database for their business needs, they might hand it off to a DBA to put in production if it is deemed critical for the business."--Resource description page.

    Abstract: Beginning SQL Server for Developers is the perfect book for developers new to SQL Server and planning to create and deploy applications against Microsoft's market-leading database system for the Windows platform. Now in its fourth edition, the book is enhanced to cover the very latest developments in SQL Server, including the in-memory features that are introduced in SQL Server 2014. Within the book, there are plenty of examples of tasks that developers routinely perform. You'll learn to create tables and indexes, and be introduced to best practices for securing your valuable data. You'll learn design tradeoffs and find out how to make sound decisions resulting in scalable databases and maintainable code. SQL Server 2014 introduces in-memory tables and stored procedures. It's now possible to accelerate applications by creating tables (and their indexes) that reside entirely in memory, and never on disk. These new, in-memory structures differ from caching mechanisms of the past, and make possible the extraordinarily swift execution of certain types of queries such as are used in business intelligence applications. Beginning SQL Server for Developers helps you realize the promises of this new feature set while avoiding pitfalls that can occur when mixing in-memory tables and code with traditional, disk-based tables and code. Beginning SQL Server for Developers takes you through the entire database development process, from installing the software to creating a database to writing the code to connect to that database and move data in and out. By the end of the book, you'll be able to design and create solid and reliable database solutions using SQL Server. Takes you through the entire database application development lifecycle Includes brand new coverage of the in-memory features Introduces the freely-available Express Edition
