We are going to show you how to see what is available, and how to use the UDTF interfaces that exist and are not documented. This is your ‘un-official’ permission to make use of these where it makes sense.
User Defined Table Functions know to many of us as UDTFs. These little beauties are often the backbone for a many of the SQL services that are published as views. For many, just using the View is great, provides a nice clean well formatted way to get at the data. But once in a while we bump into an issue. Sometimes it’s a performance issue, maybe a data formatting issue, and having a way to get directly at the raw values and maybe get at them in a more focused manner. To help with this, we are going to show you how to see what is available, and how to use the UDTF interfaces that exist and are not documented. This is your ‘un-official’ permission to make use of these where it makes sense.

Way to often we see profiles that still have a ‘Default password’ !!! Craziness!! This iSee video will give you some SQL to not only find these sorts of occurrences, but give you tools to automatically disable that profile!
In the security conscience world we live in, one would expect user profiles on our systems to have at least good passwords. Do you know that to be the case on your systems ? Way to often we see profiles that still have a ‘Default password’ !!! Craziness!! This iSee video will give you some SQL to not only find these sorts of occurrences, but give you tools to automatically disable that profile! Review user profiles and automatic updates.. sounds like a winner.

We will create a ‘data-mart’. A database, that has key bits of Meta data about all the objects on your system. Once this ‘data-mart’ exists, you can now quickly start to review the data.
We all have lots of objects on our systems, and I am sure we have some plans and practices in place to help with dealing with storage on your system. This iSee is something you can use to help with that. We will create a ‘data-mart’. A database, that has key bits of Meta data about all the objects on your system. Once this ‘data-mart’ exists, you can now quickly start to review the data. Do you have Large objects ? Who owns these objects ? Are they important ..ie when was the last time they were actually used!!! What about *SAVF objects. I know lots of people that like to create them ‘just incase’ and they just lay about forever after that.

Audit Journals, these are a powerful tool that is often overlooked. This iSee will review best practices in managing audit journals. How much storage are your audit journals using ? What is your strategy for the maintenance of these journals? We will show you how easy it is now to see what auditing features are enabled, and easy way to keep your journals clean and tidy.

Defective PTFs, not something we talk much about and certainly not something that happens very often, but from time to time a PTF is created that we are required to mark as defective.
Defective PTFs, not something we talk much about and certainly not something that happens very often, but from time to time a PTF is created that we are required to mark as defective. When that happens, best practice is to get the replacement PTF on and approved at soonest possible time. Best to be sure what ever the problem of the defective does not effect you! This iSee will give you a script you can start using today. But it also take you though the journey, step by step, call a web page, digest the data on the page and turn into relational data. Compare that data to the PTFs currently on your system to see if you have Defective PTFs with no corrective PTFs applied.

During the Fall Navigate Conference Scott and Tim did a full length iSee session. Multiple topics were covered, this is the recording of one of these topics.
Passwords are a vital part of security, and there are often interfaces within SQL that require a password to be used. But, if the world can see your password… not very secure. This session will explore a technique that can hide your password from the view of watchful eyes.
