I had a customer recently ask about a change in one of their constraints on production, where a new option appeared when they went to deploy some changes from QA. They asked how this could happen, and I’ll show how in this post.Suppose I create a table like this in a development environment.CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Logger](     [LogID] [INT] NOT NULL CONSTRAINT LoggerPK PRIMARY KEY,     [LogDate] [DATETIME] NULL,     [LogMsg] [VARCHAR](2000) NULL     )GOI (hopefully) have a process to get this to production (version control, automation, etc.). Once in production, if I were to script this on SQL Server 2022, I’d get this from…

If you’ve got two or more network interface cards (NICs) and you’re wondering if you can use them together to increase speed or make your network connection more reliable, you’re in the right place. This guide explains Ethernet Channel Bonding (also called NIC teaming or interface bonding) – how to set it up, how it works, and how it can help you balance traffic or prevent network downtime. What Is Ethernet Channel Bonding? In simple terms, Ethernet Channel Bonding lets you combine multiple physical NICs into one single virtual NIC (bond0), which is a virtual interface that handles the network…

Lineaje has added artificial intelligence (AI) agents that leverage multiple types of code scanners to ensure the open-source software packages and artifacts being used by application developers are truly secure.Company CEO Javed Hasan said the Gold Open Source Packages and Gold Open Source Images are curated by AI agents trained to automate tasks based on data collected by a software composition analysis (SCA) platform, dubbed SCA360.SCA360 also provides access to a Deep Dependency and Reachability Scanner to identify mandatory and optional dependency chains and their inherent risks. That scanner is coupled with a static code analysis engine that detects reachable…

I’m obsessed with this basic web need. You’ve got three pages: index.html about.html contact.html You need to put the same header on all three pages. Our developer brains scream at us to ensure that we’re not copying the exact code three times, we’re creating the header once then “including” it on the three (or a thousand) other pages. There are so many solutions to this problem We don’t need to list them all here. I documented some of them one time, but there are many more. We’ve got JavaScript to go fetch the HTML and insert it. We’ve got old…

In the blog post Call a Fabric REST API from Azure Data Factory I explained how you can call a Fabric REST API endpoint from Azure Data Factory (or Synapse if you will). Let’s go a step further and execute a Fabric Data Pipeline from an ADF pipeline, which is a common request. A Fabric capacity cannot auto-resume, so you typically have an ADF pipeline that starts the Fabric capacity. After the capacity is started, you want to kick-off your ETL pipelines in Fabric and now you can do this from ADF as well.PrerequisitesYou obviously need an ADF instance and…
