Where to start learning to understand SQL Server architecture and internals? Thinking a little more about this question. If a person has very little knowledge and/or experience, then I actually would suggest getting a certification. A lot of research and work by a lot of very talented individuals go into them, and if are honest with the course work, then it pays off. I am not saying people have to get certified for every piece of SQL Server they want to concentrate on in order to work with it. What I'm saying is getting a certification by using the research done by others is a great place to start. Certs and degrees don't make the DBA, that's up to the indiviual. |

Where to start learning to understand SQL Server architecture and internals? @MarkStorey-Smith, I agree about the cert tag. I've interviewed people with certification and or degrees, and it really comes down to the person and the environment. But if you are starting from nothing, and have no experience having a certification is faster than getting a degree and to me shows enough initiative to warrant an interview. Of course the certification could also be a byproduct of the cheat sites, which generally shows in the interview. But the point I was trying to make was follow the course structure, learn about all the parts before you start the deep dives books. ;) |

Get Job id OR Job name from within executing job I was working with the tokens earlier, but abandoned them because I couldn't get them to work correctly with powershell. I'm debugging now. Thank you both very much. |

Tools to migrate from SQLite to PostgreSQL Thanks! I'm personally more experienced with SSIS, but that comes with SQL Server and you have to pay for the SQL license. Pentaho is an ETL tool and is capable of migrating data from source to destination. You'll need the correct drivers to communicate with the source / destination. There is a bit of a learning curve with any of the ETL tools, but it's another tool in your toolbox, eh? There will be several steps 1 for migrating data, another for migrating DDL changes. I would start with 1 - just move the data(easier step), once you get that down, you will be more comfortable to proceed. |
