Good resource for SQL Server Commands

Dyess Consulting maintains a Whole site dedicated for SQL Server commands. It explains most of the commands that will be in general required by any Database Programmer / DBA. I've learned a lot from this page , this can be used as a quick reference for SQL Server related issues.

I'm now a Database Programmer

Now-a-days i'm writing SQL Server Triggers and StoredProcedures while working with the current project. During the process of recollecting my database knowledge, it took me a little time but finally with much difficulty completed the first task. My past experience handling Database is with Oracle 7x/8.1.5 and 8.1.6, while developing the triggers / cursors / stored procedures / for that matter on every moment i recollect the Oracle Syntax and get confuse with the SQL Server Syntax. Just as an example, Oracle Supports SEQUENCE where as SQL SERVER supports the same facility as IDENTITY column as auto number. Similar such, many-a-things, but thank god for giving me a great ability to learn technology with a great pace. During this process i visited sqlteam.com sqlknowledge.com devarticles.com/c/b/sql-server/ extremeexperts.com sqlteam.com sqlservercentral.com Did you visit these?

What's WiMo ... ?!@#$% ^&* WiMo is the the Windows Mobile Robot. The name comes from the "Wi" from "Windows" and "Mo" from "Mobile" and is pronounced "Weemo" (think of it like a Spanish pronounciation). These words i copied from Windows Mobile Team Blog . On 13th May, 2006, Brain posted the details of WiMo. This is surely a piece of example what a windows Mobile 5.0 is and it's new APIs can deliver... There is a small presentation on Channel 9 on WiMo in Action.. though the download is not working, it is playing online... i would suggest you to increase your buffer time in your Windows Media Player and them start the presention... What do you say?

It is really quite long time to post the new happenings in my life and learning ... As the title says, I’m currently working with XYKA as Project Lead. The interesting part working here is the current project. Xyka owns a travel product and is now integrating with different partners across the globe towards reservation related issues.
