SELECT 'SELECT COUNT(*) AS COUNT_' || TABLE_NAME ||
' FROM ' || TABLE_SCHEMA || '.' || TABLE_NAME
FROM sysibm.TABLES
ORDER BY TABLE_NAME 

This returns output like the following:

SELECT COUNT(*) AS COUNT_ADVISE_INDEX FROM DB2INST.ADVISE_INDEX
SELECT COUNT(*) AS COUNT_ADVISE_WORKLOAD FROM DB2INST.ADVISE_WORKLOAD

public static Bitmap Resize(Bitmap original,
                        int width, int height)
{
  Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(width, height);

  using (Graphics gfx = Graphics.FromImage(bitmap))
  {
    gfx.InterpolationMode
            = Drawing2D.InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
    gfx.SmoothingMode
            = Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.HighQuality;
    gfx.PixelOffsetMode
            = Drawing2D.PixelOffsetMode.HighQuality;
    gfx.CompositingQuality
            = Drawing2D.CompositingQuality.HighQuality;

    gfx.DrawImage(original, 0, 0, width, height);

    return bitmap;
  }
}

The fix was simple:

1. Open Task Manager
2. Switch to the Processes tab
3. Find mcshield.exe
4. Right-click → Set Priority → Normal

Happy system. Happy me.

This query lets me retrieve the name and body of all stored procedures in a database. Adding the filter to look for the specific column is relatively simple.

SELECT              o.Name AS SpName, c.Text AS SpBody
FROM                syscomments c WITH (NOLOCK)
JOIN                sysobjects o WITH (NOLOCK)
ON                  c.ID = o.ID
AND                 o.Type = 'P'        -- Only stored procedures
ORDER BY            o.Name

This query is for SQL Server 2005 but should work across all versions.

SELECT              COUNT(*)
FROM                dbo.TABLE1 t1 WITH (NOLOCK)
LEFT OUTER JOIN     dbo.TABLE2 t2 WITH (NOLOCK)
ON                  t1.PrimaryKey = t2.PrimaryKey
WHERE               t2.PrimaryKey IS NULL

You need to have SQL 2000 Enterprise Manager installed on the same machine.

if ("A,B,C,D,E".IndexOf(key) > -1)
{
    // CODE REDACTED
}

If key is an empty string, the result is 0 and the code in the IF block is executed. This is probably not what you expected.

The AppEngine SDK is offered in two flavors: Python and Java. I wasn’t really sure which SDK to pick. Python has been supported since Day One – it has the most examples and the best API support. In addition, it includes the webapp framework and Django support.

I’ve picked Python as the implementation framework.

I AM Impressed!
