Each certificate states the event name, date, and number of eligible continuing professional education hours in accordance with ISACA certification policies. The certificates were issued and signed by Christos Dimitriadis in his role as 2015-2016 Chair of the ISACA Board of Directors.
Over-the-counter trading involves buyers and sellers meeting in person, leading to slow and imprecise price discovery. Auction markets concentrate liquidity but only hold auctions rarely, leaving prices unknown between events. Exchange trading involves a dedicated market maker that provides continuous liquidity and price quotes, allowing for decoupled trading and delivery and better price discovery. However, a single market maker can potentially manipulate prices. Modern electronic exchanges use automatic order matching, attract multiple competing market makers to reduce costs, and allow inter-exchange routing for more liquidity and participants.
Maintenance plans provide a way to automate database maintenance tasks such as integrity checks, index maintenance, and backups. They can be created using the Maintenance Plan Wizard or Maintenance Plan Designer. Common tasks include checking database integrity with DBCC CHECKDB, reorganizing or rebuilding indexes, updating statistics, and performing full, differential or transaction log backups. Care must be taken to choose the right tasks and schedule to maintain performance and protect the database.
This document provides an overview and agenda for a presentation on Windows Azure SQL Database for beginners. The presentation will cover topics in three parts: features and functionality of SQL Database in Azure in the first part, demonstrations of the Azure portal and management tools in the second part, and a discussion on the future of database administration in the third part. Additional links and a question/answer session will be provided in an appendix.

Microsoft released SQL Azure more than two years ago - that's enough time for testing (I hope!). So, are you ready to move your data to the Cloud? If you’re considering a business (i.e. a production environment) in the Cloud, you need to think about methods for backing up your data, a backup plan for your data and, eventually, restoring with Red Gate Cloud Services. In this session, you’ll see the differences, functionality, restrictions, and opportunities in SQL Azure and On-Premise SQL Server 2008/2008 R2/2012. We’ll consider topics such as how to be prepared for backup and restore, and which parts of a cloud environment are most important: keys, triggers, indexes, prices, security, service level agreements, etc.

Slides from data MindsConnect 2018 Conference hosted at Ghelamnco Arena in Ghent by Belgian SQL Server USer Grup. SECDev(OPS) How to embrace your security.
Session from SQLDay 2016 Conference in Wroclaw.
2 AM. We're sleeping well and our mobile is ringing and ringing. Message: DISASTER! In this session (on slides) we are NOT talking about the potential disaster (such BCM); we talk about: What happened NOW? Which tasks should have been finished BEFORE. Does virtual or physical SQL Server matter? We talk about systems, databases, people, encryption, passwords, certificates and users. In this session (on few demos) I'll show which part of our SQL Server environment are critical and how to be prepared for disaster. In some documents, I'll show You how to be BEST prepared.
Backup? Who cares! Now and Then? We store our data in the cloud. Somewhere in the Cloud. Which Cloud? Who cares! But we are still SQL Server Professionals, so… are we need backup? Should we use newest opportunities or old methods? Are we going a step further or step back? On my session, I will try to find answers for all of those (and more) questions. Demos, cases, and examples from the world of backup. And of course worst practices.
Our data should be secure. And our environment too. What we can do for maximizing security in a hybrid environment, where SQL Server exist in two forms: premise and cloud. How to organize our job, how to control our data if we use Windows Azure SQL Database - The Cloud Database. physical security, policy-based management, auditing, encryption, federation, access and authorization. All of those subjects will be covered during my session.
• We sleeping well. And our mobile ringing and ringing. Message: DISASTER! In this session (on slides) we are NOT talk about potential disaster (such BCM); we talk about: And what NOW? New version old my old well-known session updated for whole changes which happened in DBA World in last two-three years.
• So, from the ground to the Sky and further - everything for surviving disaster. Which tasks should have been finished BEFORE. Is virtual or physical SQL matter? We talk about systems, databases, peoples, encryption, passwords, certificates and users.
• In this session (on few demos) I'll show which part of our SQL Server Environment are critical and how to be prepared to disaster. In some documents I'll show You how to be BEST prepared.
On my first session I would to introduce everyone to formerly known SQL Azure (actually Windows Azure SQL Database). Under Tips and Trick session I will show which points, features, compatibility and non-compatibility for SQL Azure are important for DBA's. I will cover functionalities, performance, cost, and sla and security aspects.
After break I will show how we can work with our data in the Cloud using SQL Azure, Blob Storage, what functionality of backup, restore, encryption and availability are available for us, how we can implement hybrid environment and when an why it is (or not) good practice.
And finally I hope we will find few minutes for discussion about Future of the DBA (not only in AD 2016)
This document discusses best practices for preparing for and responding to a disaster involving critical IT systems like servers and databases. It emphasizes the importance of regular backups, having recovery procedures documented, testing restores, and defining roles and responsibilities of team members. It provides guidance on backup strategies for SQL Server and SharePoint, including using different types of backups, storing backups offline, and setting backup schedules. It also stresses the value of preparation, being ready to restore from backups, and having contact information and credentials documented in advance in case of an emergency.
Windows Azure SQL Database for Beginners (tips & tricks)
The document provides an overview and introduction to Windows Azure SQL Database including:
- Key features such as scalability, availability, data protection, and programmatic DBA functionality.
- Performance levels are described in DTU (database transaction units) with different tiers for Basic, Standard, and Premium databases.
- Limitations are discussed around database sizing, collations, logins/users, and compatibility with on-premises SQL Server features.
This document discusses SQL Server security enhancements in SQL Server 2014. It covers three main topics:
1) Transparent Data Encryption allows encrypting database and log files for protection both during operations and when backing up to disk or Azure. Encryption can use passwords, asymmetric keys, or certificates.
2) Encryption Key Management allows managing encryption keys through PowerShell, SMO, SSMS and T-SQL. Asymmetric keys or certificates used for encryption must be properly backed up.
3) A new "CONNECT ANY DATABASE" permission allows logins to connect to all current and future databases without other permissions in those databases. This facilitates auditing processes.
The document discusses SQL Server security in three parts. The first part provides an overview of security concepts and categories security into the IT, physical, and political realms. The second part outlines SQL Server security best practices such as using Windows authentication, securing administrator accounts, and limiting public permissions. The third part covers new security enhancements in SQL Server 2014 like transparent data encryption, encryption key management, and the CONNECT ANY DATABASE permission.
This document discusses SQL Server backup and recovery best practices. It begins with an introduction by Tobiasz Janusz Koprowski on his background and experience. The agenda then outlines parts on introduction to backup options, demonstrations of backup in the cloud and on-premise, and best practices. It covers topics like understanding different cloud service models, security requirements for Azure, and non-compatible features between SQL Server versions and SQL Azure. It also demonstrates connecting to and backing up databases in SQL Azure and on-premise SQL Server.
SQL Server Source Control for Beginners is a presentation about using source control for SQL Server databases. It discusses:
- Common source control systems like SVN, TFS, and Mercurial that can be used to track database changes.
- How RedGate SQL Source Control allows committing database objects and changes directly from SQL Server Management Studio.
- Key features like rolling back changes, maintaining referential integrity, and locking objects while working.
- Demonstrates setting up a database in source control and committing changes.
- Additional tools that can deploy databases directly from source control like SQL Compare and SQL Data Compare.
This document provides an overview and introduction to Windows Azure SQL Database. It discusses key topics such as:
- SQL Database service tiers including Basic, Standard, and Premium, which are differentiated by performance levels measured in Database Transaction Units (DTUs) and other features.
- Database size limits and performance metrics for each tier.
- Database replication and high availability capabilities to ensure reliability.
- Support for common SQL Server features while noting some limitations compared to on-premises SQL Server.
- Considerations for database naming, users/logins, migrations, and automation in the SQL Database platform.
- Indexing requirements and compatibility differences to be aware of.
The document discusses best practices for preventing and recovering from disasters affecting IT systems. It emphasizes the importance of being prepared through regular backups, testing restores, clear documentation of backup and restore procedures, and defined roles and responsibilities. Key recommendations include performing backups to separate storage regularly; testing restores from backups; having a disaster recovery plan, procedures, and environment ready; and ensuring appropriate staff are assigned roles to respond to an outage. The overall message is that the best way to survive a disaster is through preparation, including backups, documentation, training and assigning roles.
