Pros and Cons of Switching to Database Managed Services

The term is widely used and covers so many things simultaneously, so it is hard to figure out what it means exactly. Do managed services include database administration only or do they also cover installation, upgrades and migration to other servers? Are database managed services always 24/7 or are there any other options? Do DBMS involve routine maintenance procedures or can they also handle critical issues? There are literally dozens of questions! Reporting? Custom service? Performance tuning and bottle-neck analysis? Too bad, each database managed service provider answers these questions differently, in its own way.

SQL Server SSIS: ReplaceNull

One of widespread problems in SSIS packages is to replace NULL values with some specific value.

Boost your OLTP database performance with SQL Server 2014 in-memory tables

Today we can already say with certainty that the most striking innovation in the MS SQL 2014 is the In-Memory OLTP. In-Memory OLTP (project Hekaton) functionality was designed to expedite the processing of typical OLTP-operation in SQL Server. As you know, server load can be divided into two classes: data collection and analysis of what is collected. The first class of problems called OLTP (On-Line Transactional Processing). It is characterized by a short updating transaction affecting a relatively small number of tables in the database. The second class of problems called OLAP (On-Line Analytical Processing) and is characterized by massive prolonged reading, covers a large number of tables and collecting of them, as a rule, the maximum entries. In-Memory OLTP - fully transactional technology and supports failover.
