Throughout December, Simple-Talk and SQLServerCentral hosted the second annual Tribal Awards. With these awards, we let the technical community choose members who they felt deserved recognition by opening up both nominations and voting to the public. The voting is over, and the videos recorded, so we’re very pleased to be able to announce the winners for each category in the video below. The winners were decided by sheer number of votes, some won by a landslide and others by the smallest of margins. We’d like to thank the 839 (more than last year!) voters who got involved to make the Tribal Awards something special, and congratulations to our victors!

Whereabouts in the application should the business logic of data-validation checks be made? The advantages of a layered approach to validation that includes database constraints, would seem to outweigh the disadvantages. William Sisson explains some interesting issues.

t is easy to import Excel data into database tables via TSQL, using OLEDB, either by the OPENROWSET function or linking to the spreadsheet as a server. The problem is that there are certain things that aren't obvious that you need to know about, and you feel awkward about asking such simple questions.

It is not just the rapid and painless testing, deployment and update of databases that requires care in the retention and management of configuration information. Configuration information is also essential for audit, resilience, and support. The range of documentation varies widely with the database and its setting, but the underlying principles remain the same. Without appropriate configuration management, automation is likely to be futile.
