DocumentationStarting with SQL Server 2016 (13.x), there is no limit on the size of memory-optimized tables, though the tables do need to fit in memory. Memory tables in SQL Server are pretty close analogs to RedisWill use as much memory as possible to

This is a helper post to understand that denormalized data created with joins and in particular left joins or cross apply can be rolled up with the proper use of GROUP BY.  In the following example I will use the example of redundant data

I completely agree with the sentiment here.  The stand-up meeting is a good way to lose focus for a team especially if you are distributed and remote.  If you can use Basecamp then I would suggest that, but if you are not use an

I wanted to generate an 8 character web compatible (base64 encoded) id that is fairly easy to type or memorize from SQL, so came up with this inspired from this Postgres approach SELECT randomId from openjson( ( SELECT randomBytes FROM (SELECT CRYPT_GEN_RANDOM(6)

This project although popular on nuget for downloads appeared to have been for the most unmaintained as the last update to the nuget package had not occurred in approximately in almost 2 years  and before the last update was over 6 years ago which

Copied from StackOverflow -- put the entire stored procedure code in a variable -- have it start with "PROC" so we can easily either create or alter the -- procedure based on whether it already exists or not DECLARE @sp_code NVARCHAR(MAX) = '

Open three query windows like so select request_session_id, resource_type, request_mode, request_status from sys.dm_tran_locks where request_session_id in (64, 65)Use this query to determine the locks showing request_session_id resource_type request_mode request_

Used this code to trick a security scanner into trusting an input. The security scanner builds a trace of an input into a function and does not trust modification of the input without revalidation. If you have a connection string located in web.config

Hashing algorithms work with byte values and as such to develop a consistent hashing algorithm across disparate code bases you need to be consistent with your byte encodings that are supplied to the hashing algorithm, Given I have a class like this public class
