Sometimes I forget that Oracle is still offering a database product, lol.

I've seen that a lot. When I import Drupal databases, I learnt to use its Backup and Migrate module instead, it works flawlessly. Downside is you need to do clean Drupal installation first, but that basically is just creating blank database and putting brick on enter key.

@Pete-S said in How to Rename a Column in SQLite Database: There used to be a lot of databases like SQLite. Often called database engines. dBase was probably one of the first. Later Microsoft Jet engine (aka Microsoft Access) became popular when Visual Basic ruled the world. Basically it's a one user database. You can have more than one user but it's done by multiple users accessing the same database file. Or by having an application on top that accessing the file and shares it out. That thing can be called a "database management system" or any application, really. All databases use database engines. MySQL, for example, isn't a database. It's a database management system. It uses one or more database engines to talk to the files on disk. MyISAM and InnoDB are two database engine options for the MySQL platform. At the end of the day, all databases work like SQlite. You can easily build your own database management system that uses SQlite as the engine and it could work just like MySQL or Oracle or SQL Server. Those are all single users to a file, under the hood. They just have the "multi-access" management built into an extra layer, instead of letting an application handle it. But for most things, you only access a database from a single app anyway, so that extra layer is often unnecessary as it is redundant. Just adds overhead.

It was MDTC and Windows Firewall. (Which is frustrating, because the firewall is turned off for the domain!) Good job at troubleshooting. I'm wondering what led you down this path versus something related to Networking, hard drives or software drivers? Remembered it from several years ago with another SQL based application. Don't know what made me think of it at 1:30am. But I'm ok with it!

@dbeato said in Windows Site Migration Tool: Migrate your IIS websites at a fast clip: The new thing with Microsoft Azure is SiteCore, that is the new trend and people are already on that. Not sure but we might want to discuss that on ML one of this days. @scottalanmiller Overreaching of user information https://www.sitecore.com/products/sitecore-experience-platform

What account the sql account or the azure login?!

@bbigford said in osTicket: Basic Ticket Report of All Tickets with Subject: Since there is no inner or outter join specified, inner join is obviously being used where 'join' is specified (outter join having to be explicitly defined where an outter join is needed). How come you explicitly specify 'inner join' at the bottom when you could just use 'join' again as your inner join? Obviously join and inner join accomplish the same thing, just curious why one is not explicitly defined and the other is. I expanded on something done by someone from the osTicket team. it was some weird stylistic choice that they made and I just followed.

We have plans to add an in memory database to ML in the future when more performance is needed, as well.

@hobbit666 no this is just for the mysql database.

@matteo-nunziati said in Pronunciations of SQL Derived Database Names and Terms: we have a company in my town: second quadrant. the provide professional postgresql support worldwide and they pronunce it "postgres". omitting the final "ql" That's the official pronunciation and it was originally spelled that way. The PostgreSQL spelling was added when it went open source.

@Tim_G said in Bootleg T-shirts for MangoCon 2017: Actually, it's not! http://patorjk.com/blog/2012/01/26/pronouncing-sql-s-q-l-or-sequel/ You know if you go to that post and look on the comments, I'm on there from before.

If not, shared storage and low latency for it's use would be super expensive. Though I do wonder how their DR plan works if there isn't a cluster for the DB, what purpose does the second server serve? Warm spare? Yes the servers are side by side, basically just sits there, and when a new site is created on SP side, run the script which mirrors the new DB created on server 1 to server 2. Eventually they were planning to introduce the witness server once our testing is complete and then enable auto failover. The downside here is that someone need to manually run the script for db mirroring of new databases So the big thing here is that the databases are not mirrored, just the framework (schema) is at creation time. Very different from mirroring or clustering at that aspect level. Yes, we've told them this won't work and asked them to look at a clustered setup. Since the licenses are already in place and is SQL standard no option for Always-On. I want to know what would be the drawbacks for the clustered setup, as for sure there are some more advantages on Always-ON compared to the clustered setup. Won't work... for what? What's the end goal? Won't work: Current stage its 2 separate DB servers and mirroring needs to be done by executing a script whenever there is a new db is created by SP. End Goal: A fully automated failover setup giving high availability for the SharePoint solution What they are doing is unrelated to their end goal. How does mirroring database creation help with failover. There isn't even a first step in preparing for a failover here. What is going on is totally something different. Exactly what i was asking earlier.

Holy crap, yeah, that's not useful at all. No wonder they do not publish the prices anywhere. The old rule of thumb applies: if the price isn't public, the price isn't good.

I'm a fan of Brent Ozar http://www.brentozar.com/blog/ though my knowledge of SQL Server is very limited. He sounds like he knows what he's talking about but I wouldn't know if he does or not. I haven't paid for any of their training videos, but I've watched a few of the free ones.

** Sorry this parser doesn't support joins

Postgres has one as well http://phppgadmin.sourceforge.net/doku.php

Kinda like a hosted Hadoop cluster.

@NetworkNerd said: If I understand correctly, that code snippet is only for a validation that will be run against the Phone1 field. Are you just trying to throw up a validation error on a web page or within an application if a proper phone number is not entered in the PHONE1 field? He wants to extract out the first 10 digits of the PHONE1 field and present them to the application / page as the phone number so that the native regional formatting of 10 digit TN handles it correctly.
