My Final Blog Post

So this is my very last project blog post. I’m finding it very hard to believe that I am at this stage already, and am very nervous about whats to come! When I first attempted to complete my project, I was completely over whelmed by everything that I would need to complete. This second attempt, …

My Eleventh and Final Week at SQL Services

Tuesday 16.05.2017 Tuesday was spent working on my report, as I have now completed the project set for me by Adam. There are a couple of sections I am struggling with, as there just isn't as much to say about them. The two sections I have completed so far, Shadowing and Mapping have been relatively …

My Tenth Week at SQL Services

Tuesday 09.05.2017 Today was spent working on my report. I am pretty up to date with all of my other work, so this was a good opportunity for me to keep on track with my report writing. I look forward to this Fridays class with Clare which is focused on our reports. It will give …

My Ninth Week at SQL Services

Tuesday 02.05.2017 The entire day today was spent working on my report again. For some reason, I'm still stressing about it! Its time for an admissions here: Never have I ever started an assignment this far before the due date. I'm usually someone who works well under pressure, and believe the earliest I had previously …

My Eighth Week at SQL Services

Thursday 27.04.2017 Today is my first day at SQL Services for the week! Between working Monday and Wednesday, and Anzac day on Tuesday, I've had a busy, non diagram related start to my week. I brought my NMIT laptop in today, in order to start re-drawing my diagrams in Visio. This way, when I hear …

My Seventh Week at SQL Services

Tuesday 18.04.2017 This morning I decided to look into how to get my diagrams from draw.io to SharePoint. I found lots of information out there on how to insert visio diagrams as web drawings into SharePoint, but nothing on draw.io. So at this stage I think I'm just going to have to insert the diagrams …

My Sixth Week at SQL Services

Tuesday 11.04.2017 This morning I did some research into alert sev22-25, as I had no idea what those alerts actually related to.  This is what I found out: Alerts 20-24: Indicate system problems and are fatal errors, which means that the Database Engine task that is executing a statement or batch is no longer running. The …

My Fifth Week at SQL Services

Tuesday 04.04.2017 This morning, while waiting for Kathryn to enter the office, I decided to tackle the initial diagrams for both of the replication alerts. This made me realize I know very little about replication. I started my hunt for information by looking through the replication alerts for the last 60 days, to see what …

My Fourth week at SQL Services

Tuesday 28.03.2017 I spent the morning watching more of the SQL Server transact SQL (basic data retrieval) videos. Again, I needed to do this intermittently as it becomes hard to focus on videos for such long periods of time. To allow myself a break from the videos,  I did some further research into workflows and flowcharts. …

My Third Week at SQL Services

Tuesday 21.03.2017 Today consisted of A LOT of spread sheets. Never have I spent so many hours organizing, colour coding and calculating in excel. I managed to sort my way through and get my head around some of the spread sheets guy sent me. One I found particularly useful was his ticket counts spreadsheet, which …
