Years ago the TSQL Tuesday party was started by Adam Machanic( b | t ). The premise of the monthly event is to get people a topic each month to try and ease some of the difficulty with writing (figuring out what to write) and to get more involved in the community. The party started in December 2009 and is now embarking on the 10th year. The party is running strong and will likely continue for many years to come.
I have personally participated in quite a large number of these events. I am far from a perfect participation record like Rob Farley ( b | t ) but I do participate when I can. Every now and again I think about what I might have participated in or what I have written in the past for a TSQL Tuesday. This post will serve as a table of contents for all of those articles. This is to help make it easier to find for me (as well as give me a chance to review and fix problems from really old posts). This post will provide a quick synopsis of my article (if one exists) along with topic and links to original invite and roundups for the monthly party.
T-SQL Tuesday #001: Date/Time Tricks (Dec. 2009)Invite and roundup
My Article: N/A
T-SQL Tuesday #002: A Puzzling Situation (January 2010)Invite and roundup
My Article: TSQL Tuesday But I was late
This was the first time I participated in TSQL Tuesday. I was very new to the blogging concept and it shows. The puzzling problem I encountered in the article was a fun little job that kept giving different results than running the same code from SSMS. Check it out!
T-SQL Tuesday #003: RELATIONSHIPS (February 2010)Invitation and summary
My Article: Relationships
I covered all sorts of different relationships that affect SQL Server from work, to marital, to table relationships in a database. It all ties together in requiring an individual to constantly tune the different types of relationships.
T-SQL Tuesday #004: IO (March 2010)Invitation and roundup .
My Article: IO IO IO
What if we could create a numbers table without IO? What if we could perform several different kinds of queries without IO? Itzik Ben Gan proposed a cascading CTE solution that does this sort of thing. This article shows that method in use to help improve certain IO conditions.
T-SQL Tuesday #005: Reporting (April 2010)Invitation and roundup .
My Article: IP and Default Trace…T-SQL Tuesday #005
Having been introduced to a requirement to report on IP addresses of connections, I dive into a solution that will help show hostname, ip address and a few more tidbits.
When it is necessary to provide reports on activity occurring on the server, it pays to do a little prep work. Be Prepared. It is not an easy task to be able to go back in time and report on data that isn’t captured. The little prep work that one may need to do is well worth the effort in the end.
My 2nd Article: BLOB Report T-SQL Tuesday #005- Reporting
Learning how to decrypt the individual object sizes broken down into type and filegroup. Then report on the data that was retrieved from the DMOs.
T-SQL Tuesday #006: “What About BLOB?” (May 2010)Invitation and roundup .
My Article: T-SQL Tuesday #006: A Blobbing We Will Go
In the DMVs for SQL 2005 and SQL 2008 there is more than one place you can find the information about the size of your LOB data? And it goes without saying that there is more than one way to find information about LOBs in your database.
T-SQL Tuesday #007 Summertime in the SQL (June 2010)Invitation and roundup .
My Article: Data Compression
I see database compression, as offered with SQL 2008, to be more like these file compression utilities than DriveSpace. Data compression in SQL 2008 is not an all or none implementation. You get to pick and choose what gets compressed. That is a big time bonus for me.
T-SQL Tuesday #008: Gettin’ SchooledInvitation and roundup .
My Article: Gettin’ Skewled
I am learning that learning is not just formalized education in a classroom or in specific settings. There are things to be learned from all aspects of life. This can be learned if only a little observation is used.
