iPad Wifi Networking Issues

-

I had recently been reading a lot about the the wifi issues surrounding the iPad, and though this post is not SQL related, it kinda is for me. You see I was using a Remote Desktop app on my iPad when the connection started to drop out on me. Something new that I had started to experience. I determined that it had to do with bluetooth being enabled. I tried disabling it and the iPad returned to it's normal bandwidth loving behavior... the thing was that I was using a bluetooth keyboard with it to type up my sql... so I had to find an alternate solution...

Solution one... you can actually just turn up the brightness on your iPad and it will keep the wifi from going into sleep mode.. wierd right?

or in my case so I didn't need to fumble around I decided to changes some wifi settings of my TrendNet Router, I found the settings at the macrumors forum,

the settings on my wireless that fixed my problem (apparently permanently)

Under the Advanced Wireless Settings...
Change the Beacon Interval to 75
Fragmentation Threshold to 2304
RTS Threshold to 2307


To this I say to the original poster (WesleyB).. great find! Oh sure I could just use the virtual keyboard and not mess with my router, and sure I could just turn up the brightness on my device... but I love just picking up the iPad and quickly logging in to my Sql Server and pick up right where I left off. no fuss, no muss...

Service Broker and External Activator for Sql Server...

-
I ntroduced in Sql Server 2005, Microsoft's Service Broker is a Messaging Queue for Sql Server.  You can audit tables, trigger events, and even call web services (Using the External Activator). Follow this excellent tutorial by Dev Kimchi which helps you step by step and clearly explain how to setup your Service Broker messaging queue. To get started with the external activator you will require the version for the version of Sql Server you are running, click on any of the Microsoft download links and follow the install instructions: Microsoft® SQL Server® 2012 Feature Pack Microsoft® SQL Server® 2014 Feature Pack One last thing before you get frustrated installing the External Activator service on a remote server.  At least for the 2012 version, it still required .Net 3.5 installed on the destination computer/server.  If you are trying to install on a Windows 2012 server follow this helpful guide on how to get .Net 3.5 installed now that the latest packs have b...

List to Table

-
E very now and again, a developer will be faced with the task of referincing a List of id's. It's typically irresistable to want to push all these IDs into a single field. If you're searching then you may end up considering a cursor... for that I decided to write the following function... it's like other Tsql functions that push a list to a table, but this is my take on it... I release the code here with out warranty. CREATE FUNCTION udfListToTable (@HList VarChar(2000), @Delimiter CHAR(1)) RETURNS @ListTable TABLE (Field1 VARCHAR(6)) AS BEGIN --By: Francisco Tapia --Date: 2/1/2005 --Purpose: To convert a Comma delimited text to a Temp Variable table To help avoid dynamic sql -- Instead you can join the temp table or use it in your where clause if a field is IN the subquery DECLARE @FieldText as VarChar(6) IF RIGHT(RTRIM(@HLIST),1) @Delimiter SET @HList = @HList + @Delimiter WHILE CHARINDEX(@Delimiter, @HList) > 0 BEGIN ...

Turbo Charge Your SSMS

-
The other day a co-worker mentioned one of his biggest pet peeves about Sql's new IDE. Of course he likes the old IDE, but what he detested the most was the slow bloat time it took to get his SSMS loaded on the screen. When we timed the boot time for his Enterprise Manager to load it took nearly 7 seconds. Not bad, but then proceeded to tell me how much longer SSMS (Sql Server Management Studio) took to load. I guessed that it could possibly be about 10 seconds (only 3 more seconds) but I was shocked to see it load in nearly 25 seconds. it was nearly 3x less productive just loading the thing before you could connect to do anything. I couldn't believe that it was nearly that slow on his computer, I had never timed it on my pc. So when I returned I had to try it. Again the load time was nearly 20 seconds on my machine (about 18 seconds to be exact). I was not entirely pleased with my results but thankfully Google provided the answer, one quick search for "Turbo char...
