• Visual Studio Team System VSTS Architect vs. VSTS Developer

  With he proposed changes in MSDN subscriptions and Visual Studio licensing, I now have to make a decision between VSTS Architect and VSTS Developer. As I understand, MSDN Universal subscribers will have a choice - they can either go for VSTS Architect and VSTS Developer. I believe that I need both architecture and development tools. Which out of two should I go for The information was interesting but too high-level to be really useful or answer the questions I feel most developers have. I hope you folks will be releasing something with a bit of meat on it like a feature by feature breakdown of what is included in each edition in t ...Show All

• SQL Server opinion xp_fileexist

  Hi all, Sorry for spamming you with this, I thought it might be the best way to get your opinion on the topic. OVERVIEW: We should not use MS internal procedures, since MS has the right to change/remove them at will. Given that, should the following code be allowed, or not. If not, how does anyone suggest, handling checking for the existance of a file that has been given as a parameter to some T-SQL. --<this code is just an example, hence not neat etc.> SET NOCOUNT ON DECLARE @FilePath varchar ( 1024 ) SET @FilePath = 'D:\Sample Data\Files Processing UR ...Show All

• SQL Server Modifying Management Studio to Save Views/Settings

  I have talked to several other DBAs about this and we agree, the SSMS is driving us more nuts than we already were. 1. How do I get it to save settings so that I don't need to manually tell it to reconnect to my favorite servers 2. In the Jobs tab of the Agent window, how do I get it to show scheduled times for all jobs, not just if they are running or not Can that view be modified and saved and if not why not EM was much better at this. It gave a great summary screen. Now I seem to have to look at the settings for all jobs one by one. This stinks. I need to see all jobs scheduled to run at 9:00 pm.
