Verify Installation • Default Installation Directory • C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\SQLExpress\ • ~140 MB • Windows Service • SQL Server (SQLExpress) • SQL Server Browser • Windows Event Log
Post Installation Task 1 • Configuration Manager • Services • Network Protocols • Client Protocols • Aliases • Great for server consolidation projects without changing front end application connection strings
Post Installation Task 2 • Surface Area Configuration • Services and Connections • Service management • Remote Connections • Features • CLR Integration • xp_cmdshell
SQL Server 2005 Express Tour • Primary interface to SS2K5 Express • Object Explorer • Template Explorer • Summary Window • View Toolbars • Combination of Enterprise Manager and QA in SQL 2000 • Similar functionality as the Management Studio for other SQL 2005 versions
Database Creation • Right click on the ‘Database’ folder, select ‘New Database’ and complete ‘New Database’ Wizard • CREATE DATABASE T-SQL statement
Table Creation • Table creation interface with Column and Table Properties • Table Designer toolbar • Save Change Script • Template Explorer – CREATE TABLE T-SQL template
Database Design • Create and drop tables, indexes, primary keys, etc. in the diagram or database • Making database coding changes, not mock up • Database Design Toolbar
Views • View = virtual table to query based on an underlying SELECT statement • View Designer Toolbar • View Template Explorer
Synonyms • Synonym = reference to a virtual object that can be on another server or schema • SQL Server imposes late binding so test based on name appropriately • CREATE SYNONYM T-SQL statement
Programming • T-SQL and CLR support • CLR off by default = Enable CLR via Surface Area Configuration • Objects – Stored Procedures, Functions, Triggers (DML and DDL) • Foundation for SQL Server development
T-SQL Enhancements • Error Handling • TRY and CATCH paradigm from procedural languages such as VB BEGIN TRY T-SQL Code… END TRY BEGIN CATCH T-SQL Code… ERROR_NUMBER() ERROR_SEVERITY() ERROR_STATE() ERROR_PROCEDURE() ERROR_LINE() ERROR_MESSAGE() END CATCH
T-SQL or CLR • T-SQL • Data driven logic • CLR • Extend the capabilities of the native DBMS • VB.NET, ASP.NET, C#, etc. • Word to the wise… • Keep it simple • Standardize development practices at organization • Always consider performance implications
XML • XML Usage • Data exchanges - B2B • Non traditional data - Visio diagrams • XML not replace traditional database design • XML = DDL • XQuery = T-SQL • SELECT’s FOR XML option • Auto, Raw, Explicit • Native XML data type • Columns (2 GB), variables, parameters • XML Schema • Schema Collections • XML Indexes • Primary – 1 row per node (element, attribute, text) to improve speed to the node • Secondary – Path, Value, Property • Compliments SQLXML • UpdateGrams - Insert, update, or delete relational data • DiffGrams - Modify relational data

Performance Tuning • Dynamic Management Views (DMV) operate in near real time from internal structures at a Server and Component level • dm_exec_* = Execution of user code and associated connections • dm_os_* = Memory, locking and scheduling • dm_tran_* = Transactions and isolation • dm_io_* = I/O on network and disks • dm_db_* = Databases and database objects • dm_repl_* = Replication • dm_broker_* = SQL Service Broker • dm_fts_* = Full Text Search • dm_qn_* = Query Notifications • dm_clr_* = Common Language Runtime
How DMVs Improve Management • Index-related DMVs • sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats • Size and fragmentation information for tables and indexes • sys.dm_db_index_operational_stats • Internals information for table and index activities • sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats • Index statistics and usage counts information for individual indexes • sys.dm_db_index_partition_stats • Page and row-count information for every partition
Alternative Dev Environment • SQLCMD • Command line interface for any version of SQL Server 2005 • Ability to perform any development or administrative function • Dedicated Administrator Connection (DAC) • Default location = C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn • More information - SQLCMD /?
Patching Express • SQL Slammer was able to cause havoc, propagating a DOS and needed patching • Patch SQL Servers • Use a non-default port and other settings • Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition Service Pack 1 • http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=11350B1F-8F44-4DB6-B542-4A4B869C2FF1&displaylang=en
