In this article, we will examine IsLeaf(), once again as a conditional logic modifier, but within the context of a filter. Combining IsLeaf() with the MDX Filter() function is another way we commonly see it in action in the business environment, and our exposure to the practical aspects of its employment in this way will serve to round out our overall awareness of the potential of IsLeaf().
The article's intention is to show how easy it is to use DMO (and its successor, SMO) from within SQL Server, and how any COM object that does not rely on events can be used.
In this presentation, Brian introduces SQL Server 2005 Profiler. He shows you to integrate System Monitor logs (also called perfmon) to find what queries were running against your machine during key performance failures. He also shows you how to output the query plan into an XML file.
Some of the key factors to consider while you devise an index maintenance plan are performance, concurrency, and required resources. SQL Server 2005 provides you with several options for index create and rebuild operations that you can use to effectively meet the requirements of performance, concurrency, and resources.
If you're having a problem with particular queries, there are a few things you can do with the information that the server collects about the distribution of data in columns and indexes.
Service Broker is a new feature in SQL Server 2005 that brings queuing and reliable messaging to SQL Server. Service Broker provides the “plumbing” to let you pass messages between applications, using SQL Server as the transport mechanism. Applications can use a single shared SQL Server database for this purpose or distribute their work across multiple databases.
We get Vincent Rainardi's "Data Warehouse Loading Part 2" article taking a look at how you can perform an "upsert" in your data warehouse.
SQL Server Management Studio is used to manage, query and design SQL Server solutions. In this video you're shown the basics of how to use Management Studio.
In this article, we will concentrate upon the useful IsLeaf() operator, from the perspective of its use within a calculation. We will discuss the straightforward purpose of the operator, to ascertain whether a member is a leaf-level member of a dimension; the manner in which IsLeaf() manages to do this; and ways we can leverage the operator to support effective conditional logic to meet various business needs within our own environments.
By doing a bit of groundwork and effectively controlling the scope of the metadata repository continuously throughout the project, few problems should arise.
