Why Use Semi-colons

I get asked from time to time why I still put semi-colons at the end of each statement. Part of it is force of habit. Part of it is trying to make sure my script source is useful no matter how the web server, post edtior, and user’s brower decide to display it.

SQL Server e Portas TCP/IP

SQL Server é um serviço que utiliza o protocolo TCP/IP para atender às requisições dos usuários. A comunicação utiliza o protocolo chamado Tabular Data Stream (TDS) e, por padrão, utiliza a porta TCP 1433 do servidor de banco de dados. Por exemplo, ao rodar o comando NETSTAT -NA, verificam-se várias conexões do cliente 157.54.178.31 com o servidor 157.54.178.42

Configuring Claims-Based Authentication in SharePoint Server 2010

I thought it would be helpful to share my step-by-step procedures for manually configuring claims-based authentication in SharePoint Server 2010 using an “ASP.NET database” and corresponding membership and role providers. Note that the following TechNet article provides some of the steps for configuring claims-based authentication in SharePoint Server 2010 (using the LDAP provider instead of the ASP.NET SQL providers): Configure forms-based authentication for a claims-based Web application (SharePoint Server 2010) http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee806890.aspx I had originally intended this post to simply serve as a precursor to my next post, but during the process of writing this post, I realized that there are many pieces lacking from the TechNet article. For example, if you use the current PowerShell script provided in the above TechNet article, you end up with a Web application that doesn’t support Search (because it does not enable both Windows authentication as well as Forms-Based Authentication)

: LOOPTY DO I . LOOP ;

[The sixth in a  series of posts on the evolution of TransForth ] There’s beginning to be more Forth than F# in these posts! The last major piece we’re missing in the language, aside from some compile-time trickery we’ll get into later, is the standard Forth looping constructs. We’re just about done with the whole core language!   Recursion   We’re going to add the standard Forth words for structured loops, but I should mention that “ recursion is the new iteration ” and it’s already working.

SQL Server 连接问题圣经-命名管道 (2)

  四。客户端的命名管道配置   大多数情况下在客户端你不需要进行配置,因为命名管道协议默认是启用的。但既然是检查命名管道的连接问题,还是需要熟悉客户端的命名管道配置。   1. 使用客户端网络实用工具   在客户端可以使用客户端网络实用工具配置连接到 SQL Server 使用的协议。运行 cliconfg.exe 或从开始 –> 程序 –>Microsoft SQL Server –> 客户端网络实用工具调出该工具(参考图 5 )   (图 5 :使用客户端网络实用工具)   客户端网络实用工具中左边是禁用的协议,右边的是启用的协议。如果右边没有命名管道协议,则点击 Enable 按钮启用它。右边列表上的协议上下顺序决定在连接 SQL Server 实例时客户端超级套接字 Net-Library ( Dbnetlib.dll )考虑使用的客户端协议的优先顺序。你可以改变它。   选中命名管道点击属性( Properties )按钮即可查看客户端连接的缺省的命名管道名称。 缺省情况下是 sqlquery (参考图 6 )。需要注意的是该名称是不完整的,连接的时候客户端超级套接字网络库会自动补充完整成 \RemoteComputerNamepipesqlquery 格式。 如果命名管道连接出现问题, 必须保证 SQL Server 监听的命名管道名称和客户端连接的缺省管道名称是一致的。   (图 6 :客户端连接的缺省命名管道名称)   2. 使用 SQL Server Configuration Manager   我们也可以过 SQL Server Configuration Manager 为 SQL Server Native Client 这个数据库驱动配置客户端网络协议 。   我们打开 SQL Server Configuration Manager ,在左侧的面板中展开 SQL Native Client   Configuration( 或者 SQL Native Client 10.0 Configuration) 节点,并选中节点下面的 Client Protocols 。此时在右侧面板你会看到所有支持的客户端协议。我们可以通过右键来启动和禁用命名管道协议。可以右键选择属性来编辑客户端的默认管道。见图 7 。     (图 7 )   3.
