Scripting language loveliness
A random spin-off for today, but thankfully a much, much shorter post for anyone who bled from their eyeballs when reading my last post! The focus for today is Python; what you’ll read about here is my initial insights. Looking at the clock, this equates to about just under an hour of reading and learning; […]
What can I learn about F# in the time it takes to drink a coffee, eat some biscuits and listen to a few tracks on Spotify; let’s find out. This post was supposed to be entitled “Thirty Minutes With…F#” but I ended up getting far too engrossed and a couple of hours skipped by (followed […]
A brief titbit today, but one I felt was worth sharing and has come in handy for work/personal projects recently for me. I’ve had a couple of requirements to gracefully show/hide and adjust web page layouts based on screen sizes (and screen re-sizing). I came across the following solution which works pretty damn well. First […]
In my day to day job we use JavaScript in anger (or at least have to deal with it) on a sporadic basis. We dive into T-SQL, C# (either for server side logic in web applications or for desktop applications) and other parts of web development (CSS and HTML) on a rapidly spinning merry-go-round of […]
Evening all, I thought this would be worth sharing, in its current form. It’s a small piece of SQL (this would be encapsulated in a Stored Procedure) that allows you to search through a host of objects encompassing Stored Procedures, Functions, Views, Triggers and even Indexes for a specific search term (i.e. an object name). […]
Working backwards (a little anyway, what developer worth his salt doesn’t wander from task to task in a strange order after all!), and with a view to getting a new FPS project up and running as rubber-stamped in my last post, I decided to head towards something I could achieve. Namely, a tidier NotificationsManager class […]
Good evening all, I hope everyone has been having a super, duper New Year so far. In the process of getting back into the swing of things at work and preparing for my impending big day (well, I say impending, June – Nevertheless I’m sure it’ll come around quickly!) I’ve been spending little pockets of […]
A common task within SQL is to search an objects definition for a particular reference. This might be a table, column, procedure, function or view name. Below are a few techniques for achieving this. I’ve also highlighted some tables that are related to SQL Server Maintenance Plans and how to start searching interrogating the data […]
Depending on the infrastructure of the application you are working on you may find yourself in need of really being able to interpret what’s going on in the guts of SQL Stored Procedures in a fast and efficient manner. For a small Stored Procedure you’re probably going to find that, locally at least, the debugging […]
I’ve been having a little think about what to cover next, keeping in mind that I want to at least attempt to shorten the posts and not drive everyone nuts with insanely lengthy content, etc. I was chatting to one of my colleagues today and we arrived on the topic of debugging SQL Stored Procedures.
