Quick takes from developers at work.
Tips, fixes and short write-ups on what developers ran into this week, in their own words.
In database management, concurrency refers to handling multiple transactions simultaneously. SQL Server ensures performance and data integrity through locks, row versioning, and various isolation levels, balancing speed with accuracy.

In this blog, I'll talk about the differences between unique key and primary key in databases. Also learn similarities between Unique Key And Primary Key.

SQL Server efficiently processes SQL queries through parsing, normalization, compilation, and execution. Understanding these intricate stages enhances database performance, crucial for optimizing real-world applications. This blog demystifies SQL Server's query processing journey.

SQL is a standard language for managing relational databases, while T-SQL is Microsoft's extension for SQL Server, adding procedural capabilities like stored procedures and triggers, and enhancing database functionality and control.

Joins are used to Fetch data from two or more than two tables based on some conditions. Joins is one of the most important concepts of SQL Server. We can retrieve Data from multiple Table using Joins.

Explore the transactional behavior of table variables and temporal tables in SQL. Discover how they participate in database transactions.

In this blog, we explore the functionalities of sp_depends, its impending retirement, and the transition to the superior sys.dm_sql_referencing_entities and sys.dm_sql_referenced_entities dynamic management views (DMVs).

Export data from Excel to SQL Server effortlessly using the SQL Import/Export Wizard in SQL Server Management Studio. This tool simplifies the migration process, allowing seamless transfer of data, and mapping source fields to destination tables with ease.

In this blog, we will learn the essential data types in C#, including primitives like integers, floating-point numbers, characters, and booleans. Learn about strings, reference types, value types, and the nuances of data type conversion for effective programming.

SQL Server database synchronization refers to the process of keeping multiple databases consistent with each other, ensuring that they contain the same data and are up-to-date with changes made on any of the synchronized databases. There are various methods to achieve

Table partitioning in SQL is a database design technique that involves dividing a large table into smaller, more manageable pieces called partitions. Each partition holds a subset of the table's data and has distinct storage characteristics, improving query performance, simplifying data management.

"SELECT 1 FROM TABLE" is a simple way to check if there are any rows in the specified MySQL table. It doesn't retrieve any data from the table but rather returns a result set with a single column containing the value 1 for each row that satisfies the conditions in the WHERE clause (if any).

Faced with persistent SQL Server timeouts due to high CPU usage, I identified resource-intensive queries using a script to analyze the top 10 queries, optimizing and rewriting them for improved efficiency.

In this blog, you will learn how to create a database diagram, using stored procedure and SQL Server in your real time project.

This blog enables you to find the list of tables used in the stored procedure, using types of joins.

This blog helps in displaying the start of the week date span and end of the week date span, which will be displayed, using SQLl query.

In this blog, I have explained the process involved in the password security using Encryption and Decryption in SQL Stored Procedure.

This blog helps to convert string to table list, using SQL user defined function.

In this blog you will learn how to insert values to identity column in SQL Server.

In this blog, you will learn how to reset an Identity Column Value in SQL Server.

In this blog, learn how to call a function from an SQL Server stored procedure.

In this blog we will discuss how we can get primary column name of any table programmatically. However we can see primary column name by just right click on table and see design view. But when we have dynamically create table and set primary key then might be we does not know the primary column name. So in this article we discuss about that.

I have SQL server Table in which there is column that I wanted to update according to a 2 columns value that are present in current row. In this scenario, we can use CASE expression. CASE expression is used for selecting or setting a new value from input values.

Core of CASE Statement with its component such as WHEN, THEN & ELSE to create a conditional logic operation in SQL Server
