This video teaches you how to declare table variables and insert records into them. You'll learn about the differences between table variables and temporary tables, including why one technique isn't always better than the other. Finally, you'll also hear about one of the common rumours surrounding table variables and why it's actually just a myth!

Cursors, on the other hand, allow you to process a set of records one row at a time. In this video you'll learn how to declare a cursor and how to make it step through a set of records. Along the way you'll learn about the various FETCH statements and additional cursor options. From a practical point of view you'll see how to execute a stored procedure against each record in a table and how to use a cursor to update data in a table by creating a running total column.

This video takes you through that process to design and create a simple table to store information about people. The video contains a discussion of the main text, number and date data types in SQL Server - you'll learn the difference between char, varchar, nchar and nvarchar data types, as well as the difference between exact and approximate numerics.

This video explains how to create computed columns and how to persist the result of the calculation so that it's stored in the table. You'll also learn a little about SQL Server's expression syntax, including how to use some of its built-in functions, the difference between deterministic and non-deterministic functions, how to use Case expressions to test conditions and how to concatenate strings. We'll do this by building a few example computed columns including constructing a full name from first and last name columns, calculating age in days using the DateDiff function and calculating age in years using DateDiff, DateAdd and a Case expression.

The presenter (Andy Brown) then gives examples of what inputs you can feed into an AI tool, and what outputs you can get out of it. Finally the webinar looks at two trends for the future: custom GPTs (dedicated models) and agent mode (getting an AI tool be use websites on your behalf).

In Power BI, the value axis of a chart uses dynamic values as the min and max. This means the axis values change as the page is being filtered which can be confusing for some users. This video explains how to prevent this behaviour thus making reading charts less confusing. Power BI and DAX Tips yes
