rohand — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 21:06:21 +0000

To find all rows that are in dbo.TABLE1 but not in dbo.TABLE2 using the SQL JOIN operator:

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

SQL 2008 – Manage DTS Packages

rohand — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 01:25:05 +0000

I installed the SQL Server 2008 Feature Pack to get the DTS components for SQL Server Management Studio 2008. However, the IDE continued to error until I copied the following files from the SQL Server 2000 manager to the SQL 2008 Manager folders.

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

Copy Components into SQL Server 2005

copy /y "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\semsfc.dll" "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\semsfc.dll" copy /y "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\sqlgui.dll" "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\sqlgui.dll" copy /y "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\sqlsvc.dll" "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\sqlsvc.dll" copy /y "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\Resources\1033\semsfc.rll" "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\Resources\1033\semsfc.rll" copy /y "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\Resources\1033\sqlgui.rll" "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\Resources\1033\sqlgui.rll" copy /y "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\Resources\1033\sqlsvc.rll" "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\Resources\1033\sqlsvc.rll"

Copy Components into SQL Server 2008

copy /y "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\semsfc.dll" "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\semsfc.dll" copy /y "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\sqlgui.dll" "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\sqlgui.dll" copy /y "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\sqlsvc.dll" "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\sqlsvc.dll" copy /y "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\Resources\1033\semsfc.rll" "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\Resources\1033\semsfc.rll" copy /y "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\Resources\1033\sqlgui.rll" "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\Resources\1033\sqlgui.rll" copy /y "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\Resources\1033\sqlsvc.rll" "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\Resources\1033\sqlsvc.rll"

Do Not .IndexOf Without Further Checks

rohand — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 19:42:54 +0000

Do not do this:

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.

Google AppEngine

rohand — Wed, 13 Jan 2010 02:17:54 +0000

I have an application concept in my head and wanted to build it for Google AppEngine.

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.

These calls will retrieve DB2 system properties.

How to Create a Junction in Windows 7

rohand — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 00:55:43 +0000

Create a junction in Windows 7 using the MKLINK command.

mklink /j source-path target-path

As an example, create a junction called C:\Volatile that resides on the S: drive.

mklink /j C:\Volatile S:\Volatile
