A Fine Slice Of SQL Server
Liam Kalita wraps up a series:
So far, we have seen how to create an app using ReactJS and and a Plumber API. In part 3, we will show you how to host the application on RStudio Connect (RSC)!
When it comes to hosting the application on RSC we will set the content URL for both the app and API so that they are in the same domain and won’t have this CORS issue.
Read the whole thing.
Comments closedTracy Boggiano kicks off a notebook:
As part of starting a new job you need a way to get a good inventory of basic information of SQL Server instances. Once you have done what I outlined in this blog post. I find it helpful to run Glenn Alan Berry’s Diagnostic Notebooks against all the instances to get a static point in time snapshot of all the properties and some performance information. While dbatools has commands under the Community Tools section for running the data into spreadsheets and creating notebooks for the newest queries I like to go get Glenn’s because he has all the comments in there of what the mean and links to resources about things. So you can explore that route if you like but I’ll be manually downloading them from Glenn’s site for that reason. To able to open the notebooks successfully in ADS look for the tip on my blog post on Tools I Use on My Jumpbox for opening large notebooks.
Click through for a script Tracy uses to kick off the notebook regardless of the SQL Server version.
Comments closedDaniel Hutmacher reads some text:
Just for the heck of it, I scratched together a template parser for T-SQL
. The usage of this function is similar to the STRING_SPLIT() function, except instead of splitting a string by a delimiter character, we want to split a string according to a defined template.
Definitely check this out. It’s a really cool function.

Comments closedJames Serra does some thinking:
As an example, if I were asked what product to use to store data in the Azure cloud, I could come up with at least a dozen options, so I need to ask questions to reduce the choices to the best use case for the customers situation. This will avoid what I have seen many times – a company chooses a particular product and after their solution is built, they say the product is “terrible”, but they were using it for a use case that it was not designed for. But the customer was not aware of a better product for their use case because “they don’t know what they don’t know”. That is why you should work with an architect expert as one of your first order of business: the technology decisions at this early part of building a solution are vital to get correct, as finding out 6-months or one year later that you made the wrong choice and have to start over can lead to so much wasted time and money (and I have seen some shocking waste).

Comments closedGarry Bargsley performs a migration:
Good evening. Today’s episode is coming to you from my home office, where I feel motivated to write a blog in the comfort of my home.
Today we will discuss migrating SSRS from one instance of SQL Server to another. Several methods are available for you, but I will show you how to backup and restore the Reporting Services components for a full migration.
Read on for the process and pay special attention to Garry’s notes about encryption key handling.
Comments closedArun Sirpal sets up Snowflake:
Now let’s start the process of creating a snowflake account in the Azure Cloud. You can sign up for a free trial from here – https://signup.snowflake.com/ I am going to bypass this and go straight to the setup screens. (This is slightly different because as an org-admin I have the power to create accounts)
Select the cloud provider and edition you require; we have already discussed these options before. You know me, its going to be Azure but feel free to dive into AWS or GCP.
Read on for some step-by-step installation instructions.
