Introducing DB Flex

2013-05-23T07:09:23Z

In these times of weird economics in many places, more and more small and medium companies try to operate without a dedicated database administrator (DBA). Other companies still have one or more dedicated DBAs, however, (s)he or they is or are overwhelmed with work. Nevertheless, SQL Server and databases need regular monitoring and maintenance.

Tips for Setting Git on Windows for SSH

2013-05-20T08:34:00Z

Last weekend I took some time to configure Git (and Gitolite for easier repository access management) on my Ubuntu server. It was a fun experience for a Linux newbie. Anyway, here are a bunch of things to watch out when configuring Git client on Windows. If you want to use OpenSSH (SSH that comes with Git) Always generate public/private key pair using ssh-keygen -r rsa even when using PuTTY. (I initially made a mistake because I used Puttygen). Set the environment variable HOME=C:\Users\[USERNAME...(read more)

Kako smo požrli NT konferenco

2013-04-29T10:10:52Z

Making JSON data strong typed with TypeScript and CodeSmith

2013-04-03T09:20:00Z

The situation Imagine a scenario where you have a JSON service that returns data and you'd like to have it strongly typed on javascript powered client side. Let's say there is an ASP.NET MVC application that goes by the name MvcApplication33 (yes, the 33rd in a row of test applications) . There are two models in there in two files under Models folder: namespace MvcApplication33.Models { public class Customer { public string Name { get; set; } public string Surname { get; set; } public int...(read more)

Defining custom regions in TypeScript files and preserving their content during CodeSmith template based code generation

2013-03-30T15:35:00Z

I am looking to do some TypeScript code generation with CodeSmith and I’d like to use PreserveMerge merging strategy (preserve merge preserves your custom code within generated code between regenerations). CodeSmith’s merging mechanism is powerful and flexible (besides preserve it supports insert merge strategy as well. But if you feel constrained then feel free to create your own merging strategy ). Out of the box it supports C#, VB.NET, XML and T-SQL start region and end region notation...(read more)

What Are DQS and MDS About

2013-03-23T09:21:43Z

This is just a very quick information about SQL Server 2012 Data Quality Services (DQS) and Master Data Services (MDS). If you don't have a clue what they are useful for, this blog post should give you the basic idea. Many companies or organizations do regular data cleansing. When you cleanse the data, the data quality goes up to some higher level. The data quality level is determined by the amount of work invested in the cleansing. As time passes, the data quality deteriorates, and you need...(read more)

SQL Server 2012 FileTables, Text Files and Full-text Search

2013-03-20T08:02:00Z

In July 2012, fellow SolidQ Mentor and Microsoft MVP, Davide Mauri (@mauridb), discovered an unexpected behavior of the SQL Server 2012 Full-text Search (FTS), and/or Statistical Semantic Search (SSS), while indexing documents placed in a SQL Server 2012 FileTable as TXT files. Instead of the language set in the definition of the full-text index (see CREATE FULLTEXT INDEX in SQL Server Books...(read more)

SQL Server: Writing CASE expressions properly when NULLs are involved

2013-03-18T20:55:23Z

We’ve all written a CASE expression (yes, it’s an expression and not a statement) or two every now and then. But did you know there are actually 2 formats you can write the CASE expression in? This actually bit me when I was trying to add some new functionality to an old stored procedure. In some rare cases the stored procedure just didn’t work correctly. After a quick look it turned out to be a CASE expression problem when dealing with NULLS. In the first format we make simple “equals to” comparisons...(read more)

SSIS 2012 Bug with Windows Group Permissions

2013-03-18T16:56:05Z

In October 2012 a bug was discovered in SQL Server 2012 Integration Services, specifically in the SSISDB Catalog, where permissions assigned to an SSISDB user mapped to a Windows Group login are not determined correctly at run time. The SSISDB Catalog security model extends the native SQL Server security model to allow the permissions to be managed at various SSISDB object levels (e.g....(read more)

Here is how to get v3 sources compiled for Android (I didn’t test others) in case you run into problems like me. head to Github repository for v3 branch ...(read more)
