SQL Server, where are your job stored?

Hi Guys,

Welcome back!

I am getting older, oh yes it's true.

My 10 years old son is developing an app for the smartphone.
Today he told me that we need to registry to a forecast wheather site in order to get an Api Key.
Using this API he will parse the result returned in JSON format.
OMG!

Proud, i want to go back to the today's topic.


Where are SQL Server Jobs stored?

Well, such as a clear question deserves an aswer that is equally so!

You SQL Server JOB are stored into the MSDB database.
The MSDB database is created during the installation procedure.
There are tree tables involved.
The first table called sysjobs contain the list of your jobs.
A second table called sysjobsteps contain for each job a list of its steps.
The last table called syscategories contain the category of your job.

In an easy way you can use the T-SQL command below to get you list.

 

       
SELECT
     job.job_id,
     job.notify_level_email,
     job.name,
     job.enabled,
     job.description,
     cat.name,
     steps.step_id,
     steps.step_name,
     steps.command,
     steps.server,
     steps.database_name
FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobs job
  JOIN msdb.dbo.sysjobsteps steps ON job.job_id = steps.job_id
  JOIN msdb.dbo.syscategories cat ON job.category_id = cat.category_id   
WHERE
  job.enabled = 1 -- remove this if you wish to return all jobs


The result will be like this:



That’s all for today! 
It's saturday and everyone deserves some time to rest.
Don't blame me: i only stole 5 minute from you!!! 

 
I hope you liked this post and found it useful subscrive and take a look also to the others post!
I am counting on it!

SQL Server, execution plan and the lazy spool (clearly explained)

Hi Guys, Welcome back! In one of the last posts we talked about Table Spool . We had explained what Spool are for by telling the somewhat curious story of the halloween problem . Here we specifically talked about a type of spool called Eager Spool   You can look to the execution plan below where the eager Spool is used to avoid the halloween problem in classic query of the "salary increase".. i suggest Well, if the story of the eager spool intrigued you, today instead we will speak about another type of Spool, the Lazy Spool . The Lazy spool Let's take a small step back. So, what is a Spool operation?  As we have already understood a spool operation is simply a temporary storage of data . Data are read from a source table and stored inside a worktable in the Tempdb database . While an Eager Spool is used to prevent the Halloween problem, the Lazy Spool is instead used to store data that will later be needed again when running a query . So, when a Lazy spool is used?  ...

SQL Server, datetime vs. datetime2

Image
Hi guys, This time, in this post we will speak about datetime and datetime2 datatypes. We will talk about the pros and cons. We will talk about all the differences between the two types of data. Write me in the comments which type of data do you prefer between the two. Enjoy the reading!     Datetime Vs. Datetime2 First of all, it must be said that the datatype datetime is certainly the best known native format for storing a date in SQL Server. However, Microsoft has also been introducing a new type of data for many years now, also used to manage dates. It is in fact from SQL server 2008 that it is present in datetime2 data type. This "new" type of data was born primarily to have higher accuracy . Let's in fact talk about ... precision ! Datetime Certainly the datetime data type is not very precise and certainly there are many cases in which its precision is simply not sufficient. Let's see it with an example. Open the SQL Management studio (SSMS) and write the fo...

La clausola NOLOCK. Approfondiamo e facciamo chiarezza!

Ehi ragazzi! La domanda è di quelle importanti! Siete pronti per scoprire tutto ma proprio tutto sulla clausola NOLOCK?   Se la riposta è si, allora seguitemi! Oggi ne spiegheremo il funzionamento in maniera approfondita. Faremo una introduzione al concetto di tipi di LOCK Ed infine vedremo come mai una SELECT ne può bloccare un'altra. Non vi nascondo che il motivo di questo articolo è fare chiarezza. Su questo argomento si sentono spesso affermazioni “curiose” ma tra le tante questa è la prima: “ uso la SELECT con l’opzione WITH(LOCK) così non blocco le altre tabelle ”.   Ma, è proprio vero quanto affermato? Beh oggi facciamo il punto!   Buona lettura!     La clausola NOLOCK Diciamo subito per iniziare che cos’è la NOLOCK. NOLOCK è il nome di una clausola che è possibile specificare all’interno di uno statement di tipo SELECT utilizzando la seguente sintassi: SELECT * FROM TABELLA WITH (NOLOCK) Si noti che non possiamo ...
