A Fine Slice Of SQL Server
In this video, I show you what’s changed with Azure ML Designer model deployment and how you can work around a new error. I also show how to deploy an Automated ML model.
Click through for the video. This video is based on a mildly annoying change in the Azure ML Studio website.
Leave a CommentIn this video, I demonstrate how much information we can gain from one sample of a distribution.
Some aspect of this is “that’s a neat parlor trick” but it does speak to the marginal information gain of a small amount of data.
Leave a CommentIn this video, we will learn how to use Minion Backup to automate backup operations, including setting backup frequency, dynamic backup tuning, and scripting out database restorations.
This video wraps up a series on backup and recovery in SQL Server. Now I have to come up with some new videos.
Comments closedIn this video, I show how to back up and restore SQL Server databases in piecemeal form, using filegroups to manage read-only versus read-write data, and bringing the most important data back online sooner in a recovery scenario.
I found the process to be a bit trickier than I had first expected, so I’m hoping this video has enough legs to prevent others from running into some of the problems I experienced.
Comments closedIn this video, I cover several configuration options for tuning SQL Server backup operations. I’ll talk about what options are available and which ones are important.
This is another long video (at least for YouTube), but I cover a lot of useful information, if I say so myself.
Comments closedIn this video, I show how to restore SQL Server databases using SQL Server Management Studio, T-SQL, and the dbatools PowerShell module.
Originally, I had plans on covering SSMS + T-SQL in one video, and then dbatools in a second. Then I decided, well, why not just cover both of them in the same video? And this is how we get to half-hour long videos.
Comments closedIn this video, I show how to perform a variety of database backup operations via PowerShell, using the dbatools PowerShell module. I also show how easy it is to test a database backup using dbatools.
I finally have a video shorter than 10 minutes long. Don’t worry, the next one will blow right past that figure.
Comments closedIn this video, I cover the three recovery models available to SQL Server, describe (most of) the types of backups you can take, and spend a bit of time covering Recovery Point Objective & Recovery Time Objective.
The advice for video length that people tend to give is 8-10 minutes. I typically average closer to 15 minutes per video. This one is nearly 30 minutes long because there’s just so much information to cover, even with me repeatedly saying “Don’t worry, I’ll cover this bit in a future video.”
Comments closedI’ve started a new video series:
In this video, I explain why it is so important to back up your databases. From there, we see one technique for taking these backups in SQL Server: using SQL Server Management Studio. We review some of the backup metadata you can collect and also see how to compress and encrypt backups.
The first few videos in the series have all gone a bit longer than I expected, and that’s even with me pointedly ignoring most everything to do with tape drives.
Comments closedIn this video, I cover a class of algorithm that is neither particularly naive nor particularly Bayesian: Naive Bayes.
I am a bit tongue in cheek with that description, as technically I’ll give you that the class of algorithms is “naive.” But I do still have some fun with the name and then show how we can use Naive Bayes to build a quick-and-dirty model that’s at least somewhat effective.
