You won't do it often, but it's nice to know how, and you're not still using sp_renamedb are you? Join us for a quick look at how to use the alter syntax to change the db name along with a tip on how to quickly disconnect any remaining users from the database.
Whether you want to generate PDF invoices for customers or do a daily export that will get processed by one of your vendors, the ability to deliver reports to a file share is a useful and simple feature baked in to Reporting Services. In this lesson Devin will show you how to do it and how to set most of the common options.
Simple but effective, DB_ID and DB_Name give you a concise way to look up the id of a database from a name, or look up the name of a database from an id. There are times when you'll need to write the join to sys.sysdatabases, but when all you need is a quick conversion, these functions get it done.
Ever wondered how many physical reads and writes your SQL service is doing? Yes, it may seek a bit geeky, but it's often useful to have an idea if a server is read or write heavy. @@Total_Read and @@Total_Write show you the number of physical (not logical) reads since the last service restart, and from there we can easily calculate a percentage of reads if needed.
