Hello all,
This is a Salem Oregon
SQL Server User Group Meeting reminder for October 15, 2014.
Time: 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM
Food: Pizza and soda will be provided
Location: PHTech
3993
Fairview Industrial Drive SE
Salem,
OR 97302
Speaker: Vern Rabe
Vern will be presenting The
Significance of Choosing the Right Data Types. The description of
the presentation is the following:
It’s an all too common
occurrence to have table columns or variables that have been assigned less than
ideal data types. My goal in this presentation is to show you the importance of
choosing the proper data type; show you some guidelines in determining what an
appropriate data type would be; and once chosen, give you some tools for its
usage and management. I will demonstrate several performance and accuracy
issues, along with their possible solutions, caused by either the assignment of
inappropriate data types or improper usage of them. In addition I will cover
several data type related functions, and point out caveats in their usage. I
expect even advanced T-SQL developers and DBAs to walk away with a useful
nugget or two.
