MCTS: Microsoft SQL Server 2008, Business Intelligence Development and Maintenance

Last few months I was quite busy at work and didn’t have much time to write blog posts. Also I was preparing for Microsoft Certification exam.

Finally, last  Wednesday I’ve successfully passed the Exam 70-448: TS: Microsoft SQL Server 2008, Business Intelligence Development and Maintenance and become MCTS.

So I hope I will have more free time now and be able to publish some of my posts I have in a queue.

Anyway I would like to start with preparation for the 70-452 certification exam to become MCITP.

Second Update to Querying Active Directory on SQL Server using CLR

Finally I had a time to make a second update to my post Querying Active Directory on SQL Server using CLR. This update should finally resolve an issue when you need to return large numbers of properties from Active Directory.

The solution is very simple by adding a possibility to specify the columns lengths (maximum length) for the returned properties. All the structures in the code left the same as they were originally. The only change is, that the list of properties is no longer passed as a comma separated list and now semicolon is used to delimit the properties. Comma can be used to provide a column length. If the length is not provided then the default of 4000 is used as it was before.

So don’t hesitate and check the updated article.

I’ve also provided a link to an updated Visual C# project with all the codes.
