Transact-SQL Toolkit

Save time, empower your teams and effectively upgrade your processes with access to this practical Transact-SQL Toolkit and guide. Address common challenges with best-practice templates, step-by-step work plans and maturity diagnostics for any Transact-SQL related project.

Download the Toolkit and in Three Steps you will be guided from idea to implementation results.

The Toolkit contains the following practical and powerful enablers with new and updated Transact-SQL specific requirements:

STEP 1: Get your bearings

Start with...


• The latest quick edition of the Transact-SQL Self Assessment book in PDF containing 49 requirements to perform a quickscan, get an overview and share with stakeholders.


Organized in a data driven improvement cycle RDMAICS (Recognize, Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control and Sustain), check the…


• Example pre-filled Self-Assessment Excel Dashboard to get familiar with results generation


Then find your goals...

STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track

Featuring 965 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Transact-SQL improvements can be made.

Examples; 10 of the 965 standard requirements:


1. What would happen if the server or platform hosting the transactional database had a problem that made it unavailable or inaccessible for some reason?
   
   

2. Which method would you use to undo the changes made by a particular transaction without affecting the changes made by other transactions?
   
   

3. Do you implement a transaction log on top of the object store to retain its scale & reliability and provide stronger semantics?
   
   

4. What can establish additional layer of names, where possible within a collective name as possible within other database?
   
   

5. Does the server require an explicit request to begin a transaction for multi statement transaction processing?
   
   

6. Which query or command do you use to find the most recent update for statistics on tables or indexed views?
   
   

7. Why would you be able to get a better execution plan than the optimizer and thus improve performance?
   
   

8. Are changes likely to occur in only a small part of the database or in a large part of the database?
   
   

9. Does the interface maintain an audit trail that provides documentary evidence of user transactions?
   
   

10. How do you create an object within a component to place in the same transaction as that component?
    
    


Complete the self assessment, on your own or with a team in a workshop setting. Use the workbook together with the self assessment requirements spreadsheet:


• The workbook is the latest in-depth complete edition of the Transact-SQL book in PDF containing 965 requirements, which criteria correspond to the criteria in...


Your Transact-SQL self-assessment dashboard which gives you your dynamically prioritized projects-ready tool and shows your organization exactly what to do next:


• The Self-Assessment Excel Dashboard; with the Transact-SQL Self-Assessment and Scorecard you will develop a clear picture of which Transact-SQL areas need attention, which requirements you should focus on and who will be responsible for them:
  
  


• Shows your organization instant insight in areas for improvement: Auto generates reports, radar chart for maturity assessment, insights per process and participant and bespoke, ready to use, RACI Matrix

• Dynamically prioritized projects-ready RACI Matrix shows your organization exactly what to do next:



STEP 3: Implement, Track, follow up and revise strategy

The outcomes of STEP 2, the self assessment, are the inputs for STEP 3; Start and manage Transact-SQL projects with the 62 implementation resources:


• 62 step-by-step Transact-SQL Project Management Form Templates covering over 1500 Transact-SQL project requirements and success criteria:


Examples; 10 of the check box criteria:


1. Procurement Audit: Are regulations on taxes, fees, duties, excises, tariffs etc. not impeding (international) competition?
   
   

2. Network Diagram: Review the logical flow of the network diagram. Take a look at which activities you have first and then sequence the activities. Do they make sense?
   
   

3. Probability and Impact Assessment: Do you have a consistent repeatable process that is actually used?
   
   

4. Executing Process Group: What is the critical path for this Transact-SQL project and how long is it?
   
   

5. Team Member Performance Assessment: What are the evaluation strategies (e.g., reaction, learning, behavior, results) used. What evaluation results did you have?
   
   

6. Cost Management Plan: How does the proposed individual meet each requirement?
   
   

7. Project Scope Statement: Will this process be communicated to the customer and Transact-SQL project team?
   
   

8. Team Performance Assessment: To what degree will new and supplemental skills be introduced as the need is recognized?
   
   

9. Human Resource Management Plan: Does all Transact-SQL project documentation reside in a common repository for easy access?
   
   

10. Scope Management Plan: What are the risks that could significantly affect the schedule of the Transact-SQL project?

In using the Toolkit you will be better able to:


• Diagnose Transact-SQL projects, initiatives, organizations, businesses and processes using accepted diagnostic standards and practices

• Implement evidence-based best practice strategies aligned with overall goals

• Integrate recent advances in Transact-SQL and put process design strategies into practice according to best practice guidelines


Defining, designing, creating, and implementing a process to solve a business challenge or meet a business objective is the most valuable role; In EVERY company, organization and department.

Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project within a business, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'

This Toolkit empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make Transact-SQL investments work better.

This Transact-SQL All-Inclusive Toolkit enables You to be that person.
