SQL Server有哪些隐藏特性?

例如,没有文档的系统存储过程,做一些非常有用但没有足够文档的事情的技巧?

存储过程

sp_msforeachtable: Runs a command with '?' replaced with each table name (v6.5 and up) sp_msforeachdb: Runs a command with '?' replaced with each database name (v7 and up) sp_who2: just like sp_who, but with a lot more info for troubleshooting blocks (v7 and up) sp_helptext: If you want the code of a stored procedure, view & UDF sp_tables: return a list of all tables and views of database in scope. sp_stored_procedures: return a list of all stored procedures xp_sscanf: Reads data from the string into the argument locations specified by each format argument. xp_fixeddrives:: Find the fixed drive with largest free space sp_help: If you want to know the table structure, indexes and constraints of a table. Also views and UDFs. Shortcut is Alt+F1

许多SQL Server开发人员似乎仍然不知道DELETE、INSERT和UPDATE语句中的OUTPUT子句(SQL Server 2005及更新版本)。

知道哪些行被插入、更新或删除是非常有用的,OUTPUT子句可以很容易地做到这一点——它允许访问称为插入和删除的“虚拟”表(就像在触发器中一样):

DELETE FROM (table)
OUTPUT deleted.ID, deleted.Description
WHERE (condition)

如果你在一个有INT IDENTITY主键字段的表中插入值,使用OUTPUT子句,你可以立即获得插入的新ID:

INSERT INTO MyTable(Field1, Field2)
OUTPUT inserted.ID
VALUES (Value1, Value2)

如果你正在更新,知道发生了什么变化是非常有用的——在这种情况下,插入表示更新之后的新值,而删除则指更新之前的旧值:

UPDATE (table)
SET field1 = value1, field2 = value2
OUTPUT inserted.ID, deleted.field1, inserted.field1
WHERE (condition)

如果将返回大量信息,output的输出也可以重定向到临时表或表变量(output INTO @myInfoTable)。

非常有用——却鲜为人知!

SQL Server Management Studio键盘快捷键…这将使日常工作的结果越来越快。http://sqlserver-qa.net/blogs/tools/archive/2007/04/25/management-studio-shortcut-keys.aspx

基于强硬的数据库开发人员对它的强烈反应,CLR集成应该排在前面。=)

我发现这个小脚本非常方便地查看已经部署到服务器上的过程的文本:

DECLARE @procedureName NVARCHAR( MAX ), @procedureText NVARCHAR( MAX )

SET @procedureName = 'myproc_Proc1'

SET @procedureText =    (
                            SELECT  OBJECT_DEFINITION( object_id )
                            FROM    sys.procedures 
                            WHERE   Name = @procedureName
                        )

PRINT @procedureText

Persisted-computed-columns

计算列可以帮助您将运行时计算成本转移到数据修改阶段。计算列与行其余部分一起存储,当计算列上的表达式与查询匹配时,将透明地使用它。您还可以在PCC上构建索引,以加快表达式的过滤和范围扫描。

EXCEPT和INTERSECT

在比较两个查询结果时,这两个关键字是一种更优雅的简写和可读的表达查询意图的方式,而不是编写复杂的连接和子查询。作为SQL Server 2005的新版本,它们有力地补充了在TSQL语言中已经存在多年的UNION。

EXCEPT、INTERSECT和UNION是集合论中的基本概念,集合论是所有现代RDBMS使用的关系建模的基础和基础。现在,使用TSQL可以更直观、更容易地生成维恩图类型的结果。
