PASS Summit 2012 - Red Gate SQL in the City

http://community.invisionpower.com/gallery/image/7454-space-needle-downtown-and-mt-rainier-seattle/
I was fortunate enough to get my company's approval to travel for the entire week.

My week began with Red Gate SQL in the City on Monday at the Bell Harbor Conference Center on the Seattle waterfront. SQL in the City is a FREE community event solely sponsored by Red Gate that deftly walks the line between vendor showcase and community event.  Upon arrival, I immediately got some great news regarding product enhancements that will help resolve issues at work. It included a great lineup of speakers and attendees like Brent Ozar, Jeremiah Peschka, Allen White, Gail Shaw, Steve Jones, Grant Fritchey and Buck Woody.

I met fellow PowerShell fan, Laerte Junior from Brazil in person for the first time at this event.  Laerte ended up with the best collection of photos and shared them via Twitter.  He could have been the official photographer for the PASS Summit.

A great lunch was served and the event finished up with a Drinks Celebration at the end. This event just further confirmed the awesomeness that is Red Gate Software.

Modifying Endpoint URLs on Availability Group Replicas

I recently had to modify the Endpoint URLs on our SQL Server Availability Group replicas.  The reason for this blog post is that I could not answer the following questions: Do I need to suspend data movement prior to making this change?  Would this change require a restart of the database instance? I spent enough time searching on my own to no avail that I tossed the question to the #sqlhelp hashtag on Twitter and Slack but didn't get an answer prior to executing the change request. After reading the relevant documentation, I think it's probably a good idea to suspend data movement for this change. The T-SQL is straightforward.  USE MASTER GO ALTER AVAILABILITY GROUP [AG1]  MODIFY REPLICA ON 'SQL2012-1' WITH (ENDPOINT_URL = 'TCP://10.10.10.1:5022'); ALTER AVAILABILITY GROUP [AG1]  MODIFY REPLICA ON 'SQL2012-2' WITH (ENDPOINT_URL = 'TCP://10.10.10.2:5022'); ALTER AVAILABILITY GROUP [AG2]  MODIFY REPLICA ON 'SQL2012-1

Set Azure App Service Platform Configuration to 64 bit.

If you need to update several Azure App Services' Configuration to change the Platform setting from 32 bit to 64 bit under Configuration | General settings, this script will save you about six clicks per service and you won't forget to press the SAVE button. Ask me I know. 🙄 Login-AzureRmAccount Set-AzureRmContext  -SubscriptionName  "Your Subscription" $ResourceGroupName  =  'RG1' ,  'RG2', 'RG3' foreach  ( $g   in   $ResourceGroupName ) {       # Set PROD slot to use 64 bit Platform Setting      Get-AzureRmWebApp  -ResourceGroupName  $g  | Select Name |  %  {  Set-AzureRmWebApp  -ResourceGroupName  $g  -Name  $_ .Name  -Use32BitWorkerProcess  $false  }       # Set staging slot to use 64 bit Platform setting      Get-AzureRmWebApp  -ResourceGroupName  $g  | Select Name |  %  {  Set-AzureRmWebAppSlot  -ResourceGroupName  $g  -Name  $_ .Name  -Slot  "staging"  -Use32BitWorkerProcess  $false  }  }

PowerShell: Quick SQL Server Version Check

I have to keep track of our SQL Server version inventory.  The goal is to reduce the SQL Server 2000 population as fast as possible. The following PowerShell script will produce a csv file containing the database server name and the version of SQL Server it's running. 1: ## Get SQL Version installed on multiple servers ## 2: ## ./sqlver.ps1 3: $start = get-date 4: write-host "Start: " $start 5:   6: [reflection.assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo") | out-null 7:   8: $FilePath = "C:\Output" 9: $OutFile = Join-Path -path $FilePath -childPath ("SQLVersions_" + (get-date).toString('yyyyMMdd_hhmmtt') + ".log") 10:   11: # Version inventory 12: @(foreach ($svr in get-content "C:\Input\AllLOBServers.txt") 13: { 14: $s = New-Object "Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.Server" $svr 15: $s | select Name, Version 16:   17: }) | export-csv -noType $OutFile 18:   1
