Data Modeling Tools for SQL Server Database
  • What is Data Modeling? What is a data model?
Data Modeling is the process of creating a data model for a software system. Data model usually consists of entities, attributes and their relationships, integrity rules and definitions of the objects.
Data model helps us to visualize complex data structures

  • How does a data modeling tool help:
Most of the data modeling tools supports standard modeling methodologies( like generating ER Diagrams), automatic SQL generation, reverse engineering capabilities to document and update existing databases etc.
Data modeling tools help to design databases also help to generate DB scripts. It can help to get a clear picture of your existing databases and how it look like.

While executing Select query to pull data from a different server, SQL Server is showing following error:

Msg 7202, Level 11, State 2, Line 1 Could not find server 'LAPTOP-09O6NE3K\SQLEXPRESS03' in sys.servers. Verify that the correct server name was specified. If necessary, execute the stored procedure sp_addlinkedserver to add the server to sys.servers. Completion time: 2024-02-05T17:18:24.6869756+05:30 Solution: Step1:  Check if the server is available in the sys.servers table SELECT name from sys.servers Step2:  If no, add the new server to the sys.servers table EXEC sp_addlinkedserver @server = 'server name' Eg" EXEC sp_addlinkedserver @server = 'LAPTOP-09O6NE3K\SQLEXP RESS03' Step3:  Recheck if the new server name is added to the sys.servers table. If yes, try then rerunning the select query which throwed the error. Now it should pull data from the table in the new server successfully.

Overcoming Performance Issues with Memory Optimized tables - SQL Server 2014 CPT2

Overcoming Performance Issues with Memory Optimized tables - SQL Server 2014 CPT2 1.        Problem Tuning    databases so that they provide the best possible performance is one of the most important responsibilities of database administrators (DBAs).   SQL Server was originally designed at a time when it could be assumed that main memory was very expensive, so data needed to reside on disk except when it was actually needed for processing.   As the amount data    within an organization increases, accumulation of data affects the productivity of DBAs, who must spend considerable time and effort on achieving the high levels of database performance. 2.        Solution Nowadays memory is much cheaper and a working data set can be stored entirely in memory. The assumption that main memory was very expensive is no longer valid as memory prices have dropped enormously. Memory-opti...
