SQL Server Administration Articles
Every .NET Developer Should Know About the Database they are working with - I am a strong believer that a Developer should understand the databases and network he/she is interacting with. As a .NET Developer, having TSQL and SQL Server Administration knowledge to some degree of depth, really helps to design and develop your applications as well as communicate with the DBAs and admins you work with. In this article, I have attempted to list some articles we have written in the past that will give you information about handling a SQL Server 2005/2008 database.
SQL Server: Last BackUp Date - A database developer recently asked me a simple way to find the last backup date of a database. He was using SQL Server 2005. I had written a similar query for the MSDN wiki and here’s the same for my blog readers

T-SQL Articles
SQL Server: Retreive all records between Two Rows of a Table without a Numeric Primary Key - Let us quickly see how to fetch all the records between two rows in a SQL Server table which does not have a numeric primary key.
Compound Assignment Operators in SQL Server 2008 - Compound assignment operators are newly introduced in SQL Server 2008 and the code certainly looks cleaner and easier to type while using them. I am surprised why weren’t they introduced in earlier SQL Server versions at the first place, however now that they are here, let’s quickly learn how to use them
SQL Server: Last Day Previous Month without DATEADD and DATEDIFF - Suppose you want to find the last day of the previous month, you can always use this method
SQL Server: Limit Millisecond Part in DateTime2 Datatype - Till version 2005, SQL Server supported only the datetime datatype which stored date and time with milliseconds upto three digits. However SQL Server 2008 supports separate data types DATE and TIME as well DATETIME2 datatype which stores milliseconds upto 7 digits.
SQL Server: Handle Nulls While Sorting Data in Ascending Order - The SQL Server ORDER BY Clause is used to order the result sets by a set of columns. If you use ORDER BY col ASC, NULL values come first, if you do ORDER BY col DESC, NULL values are shown last, but remaining values are ordered in descending order.However what if you want order the result sets by a particular column in ascending order and also keep all NULL values in last rows?
