Declaring table variable in SQL Server 2005

-
When there is a requirement to declare several local variables inside TSQL script, it appears that table variables must have it's own DECLARE clause. Surprisingly, Books Online do not mention that.

Here you go :

DECLARE @str1 varchar(8), @TblList table(TableName varchar(250))

Msg 156, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'table'.

DECLARE @TblList table(TableName varchar(250)), @str1 varchar(8)

Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1
Incorrect syntax near ','.


DECLARE @str1 varchar(8)
DECLARE @TblList table(TableName varchar(250))

Command(s) completed successfully.

Unlocking Microsoft Fabric: A Simple Guide when you only have a personal account.

" You cannot create a Microsoft capacity using a personal account. Use your organizational account instead." What a disappointment and frustration! I've been trying to set up Microsoft Fabric for a while now and figure out how to work around this error. I use my personal Gmail for an MVP subscription to learn and experiment with Azure services. When I visit app.fabric.microsoft.com and try to use my private Gmail address, I keep getting a similar message: It's frustrating because I'm eager to dive into Fabric and explore its capabilities. I would get the same error trying to set up Azure Data Catalog, PowerBI embedded, and more. What are the different account types and how do they differ? A work or school account is created through Active Directory or other cloud directory services, such as Microsoft 365. On the other hand, a personal account is one that's manually created for individual use, consisting simply of a username and password. After digging into ...

ETL to ELT journey: Break free your Transformations and discover Happiness and Data Zen

-
Every data integration pipeline consists of 3 stages: Data Extraction (E), Data Transformation (T) and Data Load (L) During the  Data Extraction stage, the source data is read from its origins: transactional databases, CRM or ERP systems or through data scraping from web pages. During the  Data Transformation stage, the necessary modifications are applied to the source data. This includes data filtering, enrichment or merging with existing or other source datasets, data obfuscation, dataset structure alignment or validation, fields renaming and data structuring, according to the canonical data warehouse model.  During the Data Loading stage, the data is stored in the pipeline destination, which could be a staging area, data lake or data warehouse. There are two principal methods for the data integration process: transferring it from where it originated to the destination, where the data will be used for analysis, ETL and ELT. The difference between ETL and ELT pipelines...

Coding is a rollercoaster of efficiency and eyebrow-raising discoveries.

Data Engineers or Developers - many of us love to be gourmet chefs in the kitchen. When it comes to planning and design, we would rather throw all ingredients in the pot and see how it comes out.  Coding without a plan is like assembling a puzzle in a dark room. The result will most probably be unexpected and off the canvas. Whether you follow Waterfall or Agile development strategy, planning and design phases are non-negotiable and are essential to reduce development cycles and redo work. Once upon a time, one data engineer created an amazing piece-of-cake automation pipeline. This masterpiece had very complex logic, pulling data from multiple sources, and merging and persisting the data in a complex, incremental way. When the pipeline started to run successfully and automation flows worked, the data engineer got very excited and considered this development done. A few days later QA engineer found out that the result dataset was never created in the destination. Why has that ...
