SQL Server-Related Cheat Sheets That Can Save You Time
I previously posted about a SQL Server CheatSheet from DotNet4All that I thought was useful and comprehensive. If you already know what you need to do, but just forgot the syntax because you haven’t done it in eons, then a well organized, concise, complete cheat sheet can save the day.
Here are a few other ones:
General SQL Server
DotNet4All
SQL Server Shortcuts
SQLArticles (really good, exhaustive list!)
SQLAuthority SSMS Shortcuts
Connection Strings
ConnectionStrings.com
Regex (especially when you’re working with SQLCLR/Regex)
.NET Regex Cheat Sheet
AddedBytes
(AddedBytes used to be known as ILoveJackDaniels, but that name has changed. Dave has a *lot* of useful cheat sheets in his site.)
SQL Injection
Ferruh Mavituna
ha.ckers
PowerShell
MSDN Blogs (PDF)
MSDN Blogs (MS Word)
SQL Server 2008
SQLAuthority
SQL Server DBA Interview Questions

Clustering SQL Server 2005 Videos … and some hacking
Brian Knight has posted a lot of good videos on JumpStartTV, including the following clustering videos:
- Windows and SQL Server 2005 Clustering Architecture (16:14)
http://www.jumpstarttv.com/windows-and-sql-server-2005-clustering-architecture_31.aspx - Clustering Windows 2003 R2 (13:26)
http://www.jumpstarttv.com/clustering-windows-2003-r2_32.aspx - Clustering SQL Server 2005 (16:21)
http://www.jumpstarttv.com/clustering-sql-server-2005_33.aspx
Plus one video on how to hack (read: SQL Injection), and prevent hacking, SQL Server:
- Hacking SQL Server (55:59)
http://www.jumpstarttv.com/hacking-sql-server_76.aspx
These are good videos, some of them almost an hour long like the Hacking video, most in the 5-15 minute duration. What’s also good about the site is on the sidebar, the “pre-requisite” videos are mentioned.
JumpStartTV also has videos on Administration, High Availability, Performance Tuning, SMO, Data Warehousing and SSIS (Brian Knight made a whole bunch on SSIS), to name a few.
The videos are free, but JumpStartTV requires registration.
