Could urgently use some help here, please. https://www.sqlservercentral.com/forums/topic/encrypting-sql-2012

Having lots of fun at the office. All the old guard has retired and we have several new people coming in who don't know the environment and business rules yet. Which leaves me the only one doing a migration while the others are training.

I don't suppose someone here has time to help me with this: https://www.sqlservercentral.com/forums/topic/sql-instance-aliases-urgent-assistance-needed-please?

It would be greatly appreciated as my frustration level is going through the roof on this one.

Sorry, Brandie... I'd be of no help in either area. They decided a long time ago that our infrastructure team would take care of such things to help with the proverbial separation of church'n'state and I've not had to do either of the above in over a decade.

Well, this is interesting. SQL 2022. No more parameter sniffing?

I am not seeing a Power BI forum on this group. Is there one and I'm just missing it?

One of our Devs has a question. He's trying to get Power BI reports loaded and out as a steam or byte array in C# code and has no idea how to do that. Does anyone have any website links he could investigate?

My Google-Fu doesn't seem to find anything based on these keywords and I know nothing about Power BI, so am unable to refine my search further.

Is he using the Power BI REST API? The functions available for reports are documented here. I don't see anything about streaming there, but maybe it is of some interest.

I don't know what API he's using, but I will forward the information. Thanks!

Don't know PowerBi or use it but maybe this might help

I'm surprised that a google search isn't sending you in the right direction. The links already provided are where to start, plus this link: https://community.powerbi.com/

One tip. Look at the date on anything written about Power BI. It changes by the minute. Articles written a few months ago may be obsolete.

I kind of blame myself for our issues. I should have put up the stop sign two years ago. But, of course, the "We need to get this done" took over.

Now, I am herding cats. Our environment is a mess.

At least I am getting buy in from the folks up and down the food chain.

I like Power BI, but it's not completely intuitive, can be a mess to deploy, and certainly isn't built for version control. I am most upset about that last one.
