We now have a finished T-SQL framework, and this is the last post of the series. We start with the complete Template (with the error engine, activity log and batching). In this post, we’ll examine each new segment and focus on the batching feature, explain what is going on and the necessity.
The finished Template:
The Input […]
In this fourth installment of the framework series, we will add a T-SQL batching feature to our existing framework we have developed in earlier installments of this series. This feature set is dependent on the work we have previously, done. If you have not been following along, please go back so that everything will work […]
This segment of the framework builds onto what we have already created in Part 2 of the T-SQL Framework. That post showed you how to build the Error Engine, or build in tasks to do our error handling for us. In building the T-SQL Activity Log, we will leverage some of the structures and processes […]
As a consultant, you experience different environments, with different architectures, different skill sets, and different processes. Usually there’s just one thing in common: They have serious issues that need immediate attention. Such as using linked servers in SQL.
Once a consultant has some experience under his or her belt, one can usually see symptoms that can […]
Building the SQL Error Engine
In this second post focused on a T-SQL framework (find part one here), we will build the plumbing to leverage our first feature of the framework, the error engine. This feature will runs like an engine and do the manual work we do not want to do. To make it dynamic, […]
We can define a framework in two simple ways:
An environment with tools to work with.
A scaffold around which we can build an application.
These definitions sound simple in an abstract way, but what is a SQL framework? How will it help me, and do I have to use one?
For the questions “what is a SQL framework?” […]
Depending on the objective, building a framework allows the architect to imbed the fundamental segments of a structure so that the existing requirements can be built on top of the foundation, leveraging the functionality of the framework. This usually includes core functionality that repeats consistently through a process like Logging, Error handling, Successes/Failure Notifications, Import/Export […]
How does one enforce referential integrity across separate databases, or servers for that matter? The answer is simple—there is nothing native in SQL Server to enforce integrity outside of Primary and Foreign Keys which are scoped within a database.
However, you can go outside the box and use a Uniqueidentifier, often referred to as GUIDs (globally […]
There is a great feature in SQL Server Management Studio that I do not see used very often, and that feature is the SQL Server Solution Project. SQL Server Solution Project has been around since SQL Server 2005 and is based on the framework from Visual Studio. A Solution is made up of one or […]
In Part I of Check for Errors First, we discovered how to query the error logs, and filter out the noise to find meaningful errors that could contribute to performance and stability issues. In Part II of Check for Errors First, we explored how to look for errors in the system trace which runs continually whenever SQL […]
