Many times when going from demo to development to client demo, we are always starting and stopping our SQL Server services on the laptop very often. This can be a pain when you have to constantly go through the configuration manager. I have taken some common code and put into two batch files for your example. The code for the batch files will start all of your services and then there is a second file that will stop them. The code is as follows <Start Services File> NET START "MsSqlServer" ...

Recently I got a forum question that I thought would be a good blog entry for others to share. The question was “Adam, Is there a way to get the ultimate parent of a member when you have no idea what level it is at, how many levels separate it from the ultimate parent? Will just adding a large levels parameter value be valid even if that value is greater than the actual levels?” To Find the parent at any specific level, you can not only use member functions such as parent, prevmember, etc.., but...

After yesterdays’ webinar, we got a lot of great feedback and questions. Once of the more common questions was around intellisense, getting it to work and why some folks don’t have it, even though they are running SQL 2008. The trick here is, you need to be running SQL 2008 engine, not just client tools. The intellisense feature is an engine feature that is bubbled up through the client tools in 2008. How do I know? Check out this screenshot of me connected to my system. The version you’re conne...
