This article explores the SQL Server Update Join statement in T-SQL for SQL Server.
Read more »Welcome to the first article in the Learn SQL series. In this part, we’ll start with two essential commands in SQL: Create Database and Create Table. While both are pretty simple, they should be used first before you start working on anything with data (unless you use some template database).
Read more »In this article, we will explore the table variable in SQL Server with various examples and we will also discuss some useful tips about the table variables.
Read more »In this article, we will learn the notions and usage details of the SQL variable. In SQL Server, local variables are used to store data during the batch execution period. The local variables can be created for different data types and can also be assigned values. Additionally, variable assigned values can be changed during the execution period. The life cycle of the variable starts from the point where it is declared and has to end at the end of the batch. On the other hand, If a variable is being used in a stored procedure, the scope of the variable is limited to the current stored procedure. In the next sections, we will reinforce this theoretical information with various examples

Read more »In this article, we will learn the SQL multiple joins concept and reinforce our learnings with pretty simple examples, which are explained with illustrations. In relational databases, data is stored in tables. Without a doubt, and most of the time, we need a result set that is formed combining data from several tables. The joins allow us to combine data from two or more tables so that we are able to join data of the tables so that we can easily retrieve data from multiple tables. You might ask yourself how many different types of join exist in SQL Server. The answer is there are four main types of joins that exist in SQL Server. First of all, we will briefly describe them using Venn diagram illustrations:

Read more »Until now, Microsoft has not included the XML Destination component in SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS). Many years ago, this component was requested on the Microsoft connect website, but it was closed as “Won’t fix.” For this reason, many workarounds and third-party components were created. In this article, we’ll talk about these components and some of the popular solutions for exporting data to XML using SSIS.

Read more »In this article, we will learn to rename tables in SQL Server. sp_rename is a built-in stored procedure which helps to rename user tables in the SQL Server. During the software development life cycle, we might be faced with various scenarios that required to rename the existing tables in the database. For example, the tables which are created in the SQL Server might be needed to be renamed, because of the software version upgrades, bug fixing or other various development requirements. These and similar reasons can make renaming tables important. So, in this article, we will particularly focus on how to rename the tables in SQL Server.
