I started this blog about four years ago. But in the last couple of years, the activity in this blog has slowed down. Now it has become inactive. I am quitting this blog.
No, I’m not quitting blogging altogether. This is something I love to do. I felt I needed to start anew.
I am on a new journey towards a goal. I am in pursuit of something I really love.
I want to start a new brand – my own brand. That is why I built a new blog.

Here's how to backup a SQL Server Database (suppose we're backing up the AdventureWorks Database):
The "ALL" Parameter In SQL Server Reporting Services 2005
Reblogged from Marlon Ribunal's Note On SQL Server:
One of the most common business requirements for SQL Server Reporting Services is that an SSRS Report should be dynamic. Dynamic in a sense that the report consumer can query the report in a variety of ways. In this post, I will demonstrate how you can add a parameter value "ALL" to return all of the desired result.
I have four parameters in this report; all of them are…
