In SQL Server we can query the sys.parameters system catalog view to return all parameters that belong to user-defined objects.
For system objects, we can query the sys.system_parameters view. We can alternatively query the sys.all_parameters system catalog view to return all parameters that belong to either user-defined or system objects.
Starting with Redis 6.2.0, the ZRANGE command added the REV, BYSCORE, BYLEX and LIMIT options. The addition of the first three options means that the ZRANGE command can now do what the ZREVRANGE, ZRANGEBYSCORE, ZREVRANGEBYSCORE, ZRANGEBYLEX and ZREVRANGEBYLEX commands can do.
As a result, those commands are now deprecated (as of Redis 6.2.0).
Therefore, we should no longer use the ZRANGEBYSCORE command when we need to return a sorted set by score. Instead, we should use the ZRANGE command with the BYSCORE argument.
In SQL Server we can create synonyms, which allow us to provide an alternative name for a database object. Once created, we can reference the synonym instead of the object itself.
Continue readingIf you’re getting an error that reads something like “ERROR 1050 (42S01): Table ‘customers’ already exists” when trying to create a table in MySQL, it’s probably because there’s already a table in the database with the same name.
To fix this issue, either change the name of the table you’re trying to create, or check the existing table to see if it’s the one you actually need.
Continue readingWe have several options when it comes to using SQL to clone a table in MariaDB. And we have the option to clone the table with data, or without data.
Here are three SQL options for cloning a table in MariaDB.
Continue readingIn SQL Server, we can query the sys.default_constraints system catalog view to return a list of DEFAULT constraints in the current database.
SQL Server supports sequences. Sequences enable us to create our own sequence of numeric values.
Sequences are similar to identity columns in that they generate a unique value that can be used to identify a column. However, sequences are created completely independently of any table.
Continue readingIn SQL Server, we can use the sys.synonyms system catalog view to get a list of synonyms in the current database. This view returns all objects in the sys.objects view of type SN (which stands for synonym).
In SQL Server, if you ever need to move one or more tables to another schema, you can use the T-SQL ALTER SCHEMA command.
If you’re getting an error that reads “ERR value is not an integer or out of range” when using the HRANDFIELD command in Redis, it could be because you’re passing a second argument that isn’t an integer. Or if it is an integer, it could be out of range.
