3. Why SetFocus?
Drawn to the intense nature of the course work and the high caliber
instruction, I came to SetFocus to start on a new career path. “I want to
live and breathe SQL Server,” was my request. They did not disappoint.
The ten-week SQL Master’s Program delivered real world application of
the skills needed in today’s work force. From Normalization to
Reporting, from Stored Procedures to Integration, SetFocus provided me
with an invaluable education.
But who am I? That’s what you really want to know. I am a person who
decided that life is too short not do something I love. I wanted to know
how they pull up my balance at the bank or find my information when I
swipe my card at the grocery store. But, I wanted to be able to do it
myself. That’s why I’m here. That’s why I chose this path.
I’ve included some samples of my work and I hope you enjoy them.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Apply
2005 feature that allows us to ‘apply’ the results
of a UDF to all the rows in a table
The Function

15. Apply with Results

16. T-SQL Queries
The Pivot Statement

17. SSIS Package
Uses a Merge Stored Procedure
• Data Flow to Import Files

facilitate efficient import & export of data
• Online Store utilizes Central Database
• Access to database restricted through stored procedures
• Import & Export of data through SSIS packages

30. Receiving a Shipment
• New copies of existing titles are delivered
• An .xls file is accompanied, electronically
• File contains
• MovieID’s
• MediaTypeID’s (DVD or Blu-Ray)
• Quantity
• ID’s must be imported via SSIS

31. SSIS
Insert Existing Titles Into Inventory
Control Flow : Moves processed files to a new location
Send Tasks to relay success or failure

32. SSIS
DATA FLOW
Inserting new copies of existing titles
into inventory

33. Stored Procedure to Insert Inventory

38. Managing Block Flix
As the project lead, looking at the task as a whole, “seeing the forest”, was my main
purpose. We had just one week in which to design and implement the databases and
prepare a presentation. Which aspects needed to be fully functional?
Which aspects were Phase Two? Where did my teammates’ strengths lie?
Where do we need to be by week’s end and how do we get there?
We normalized the data and created the databases. I distributed the procedures
and the SSIS packages that call them. After we wrote the procedures to be called
from user-interface applications, such as Transactions and CreateMember,
I then focused on the procedures for the required reports and distributed the design.
The challenge, for me, in this project was not as related to the technology as it
was to “steering the ship” in the direction of success. It was a wonderful experience
and one from which I learned to truly see all of our processes as a part of a whole.

39. Topping It All Off…
with a Trigger
After Trigger
Sets DateModified to GETDAT() on any Update
Instead of Trigger
Inhibits an update or delete of Transactions

40. DDL Trigger
A Safety Trigger to ensure that the tables
are not dropped or altered
