Event Date: 03-08-2013 - Session time: 00:00:00 - Track: SQL Dev
Speaker: Cade Roux
Abstract:
Ever wondered how to do operations on a list of tables? Get a list of all the columns over a certain length? Automate tedious writing of repetitive code if only there was a way to tell the query to just do this for all VARCHAR columns?
Integrated metadata is a required element of all RDBMSs. In addition to ANSI INFORMATION_SCHEMA and metadata on implementation-specific features like indexes, SQL Server also offers a very powerful extended properties feature. In this talk, I cover using the basic metadata combined with extended properties and demonstrate some practical usages to organize and document a system's design and monitor the health of a system's compliance with design rules, but there are many uses of the system metadata for code generation and automating maintenance.
Basic knowledge of T-SQL and relational database principles is assumed.

Event Date: 03-08-2013 - Session time: 00:00:00 - Track: Business Intelligence Advanced
Speaker: Mike Byrd
Title: Change Tracking: A Near Bullet-Proof ETL Synchronization Control
Abstract:
Change Tracking came out with SQL Server 2008, but SS2012 almost eclipsed it with Change Data Capture.

This session will provide a review of change tracking syntax and implementation with detailed demos. It will then dive into an actual ETL subset implementation from the AdventureWorks database to a data warehouse solution (modified AdventureWorksDW) with detailed code discussion and demos.

Power of Patterns: Refactoring to (or away from) Patterns
Event Date: 03-08-2013 - Session time: 00:00:00 - Track: Dev .NET/ALM
Speaker: Mike Clement
Title: Power of Patterns: Refactoring to (or away from) Patterns
Abstract:
What is a design pattern? Why should you care? What it the power of design patterns? How do design patterns tie into object oriented programming? If I'm using objects in my code, isn't that object oriented programming? (The answer is not necessarily!) When should I use them?
Design Patterns are great but the temptation is to use Design Patterns as a golden hammer. This can lead to unnecessarily complicated, over-engineered code in an effort to be flexible and ready for the future. That sounds reasonable - if you happen to be a psychic. More commonly, you will refactor to a pattern when the code (that you’ve written simply and minimally) demands it.
We'll talk about why you should know common design patterns, why they are powerful, how they relate to object oriented principles, different composite refactorings that will move you to (and sometimes away) from patterns and the smells that help you know when to apply them.

Speaker: Rusty Frioux
Title: Analytics 101 : Big data, business intelligence, and predictive analytics for decision makers
Abstract:
Business analytics is the hottest ticket in the IT world these days. The trouble is, the industry doesn’t seem to agree on what “it” might be. Is analytics jazzed up reporting and slick dashboards? Is it statistical modeling? Is it Hadoop? Is it SAS? Is it PowerView? What’s a poor technical manager to do when the C-Suite demands it?
Business analytics is the art and science of data driven decision making. Analytics projects span corporate performance management, reporting, dashboarding, statistical analysis, predictive modeling, a/b experimentation, and a host of other techniques all designed to help organizations make fact based decisions using business data.
Rusty Frioux from DataClear will sort out truth from hype and give some practical guidance for anyone tasked with starting an analytics initiative.

This session will take you from nothing and explain what powershell is all about. I’m going to show you how the more things change the more they stay the same and if you master the basics of powershell in this session, you’ll be able to work with powershell not only in SQL Server, but also at the file system level, in Exchange, IIS, Windows, and anything else. So in this session I’m going to show you the basics you need to get your powershell career started.

Unit Tests in Action – an exercise in updating legacy code, and how unit tests play a critical role
Event Date: 03-08-2013 - Session time: 00:00:00 - Track: Dev App Support
Speaker: Steve Schaneville
Title: Unit Tests in Action – an exercise in updating legacy code, and how unit tests play a critical role
Abstract:
This session will attempt to show how to use unit tests to confidently make changes to existing production code, reducing the risk of introducing bugs. It will do so in a “hands on presentation” sort of manner, as most of the time will be spent in code rather than in slides. The intent is to demonstrate (by using a real-world example, not slides and theory) the importance of having/creating well written unit tests before updating production code, and will be targeted to persuade the developer who is not yet sold on writing a solid suite of unit tests. During the session, we will take an production existing framework and make changes to it using the following techniques:
Use unit tests to ensure existing functionality does not break
Use Code Digger to ensure that we test all possible code paths
Use Fakes (including both Stubs and Shims) to isolate code paths and create targeted unit tests

Configuring and Managing FILESTREAM and FileTable
Event Date: 03-08-2013 - Session time: 00:00:00 - Track: SQL Dev
Speaker: Sven Aelterman
Title: Configuring and Managing FILESTREAM and FileTable
Abstract:
FILESTREAM and FileTable offer attractive solutions for applications that need to store large binary data (BLOBs) alongside relational data. With the benefit of the SQL Server storage engine managing the BLOB data but without the downsides of VARBINARY(MAX), FILESTREAM and FileTable have advantages that no other solution offers. This session will demonstrate how to design and create databases with these features. Because the paradigm is different than relational storage, the management aspect of FILESTREAM will also be examined, including transactional integrity, the garbage collector and backup and restore.
