Graph Based Database

Anish MM — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 15:04:57 +0000

A new generation of database products and companies is beginning to emerge,and one of the more interesting examples is Neo Technology,the developer and vendor of the neo4j graph based database (graph in the data structure sense).The neo4j product has been in development for over 8 years, and Neo Technology are announcing a new $2.5M round of funding.

The company has been developing the neo4j project as a commercial product, and is now taking it to market with a dual-license model.

Neo4j is a graph database. It is an embedded, disk-based, fully transactional Java persistence engine that stores data structured in graphs rather than in tables. A graph (mathematical lingo for a network) is a flexible data structure that allows a more agile and rapid style of development

ISO Country List with Abbreviations (SQL Table)

Anish MM — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 06:56:46 +0000

This script will create and then populate a SQL 2000/2005/2008 table with a list of the names and ISO 3166 codes for countries in existence.

CREATE TABLE country (
iso CHAR(2) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,

printable_name VARCHAR(80) NOT NULL,
iso3 CHAR(3),
numcode SMALLINT

SQL Server Date Formats

Anish MM — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 07:27:21 +0000

We are familiar with formatting dates inside SQL Server. The common approach is:

convert (varchar, getdate(), 103)

Here’s a summary of the different date formats that come standard in SQL Server as part of the CONVERT function.

Date Format	SQL Statement	Sample Output
Mon DD YYYY HH:MIAM (or PM)	SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(20), GETDATE(), 100)	Jan 1 2005 1:29PM
MM/DD/YY	SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), GETDATE(), 1) AS [MM/DD/YY]	11/23/98
MM/DD/YYYY	SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE(), 101) AS [MM/DD/YYYY]	11/23/1998
YY.MM.DD	SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), GETDATE(), 2) AS [YY.MM.DD]	72.01.01
YYYY.MM.DD	SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE(), 102) AS [YYYY.MM.DD]	1972.01.01
DD/MM/YY	SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), GETDATE(), 3) AS [DD/MM/YY]	19/02/72
DD/MM/YYYY	SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE(), 103) AS [DD/MM/YYYY]	19/02/1972
DD.MM.YY	SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), GETDATE(), 4) AS [DD.MM.YY]	25.12.05
DD.MM.YYYY	SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE(), 104) AS [DD.MM.YYYY]	25.12.2005
DD-MM-YY	SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), GETDATE(), 5) AS [DD-MM-YY]	24-01-98
DD-MM-YYYY	SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE(), 105) AS [DD-MM-YYYY]	24-01-1998
DD Mon YY	SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(9), GETDATE(), 6) AS [DD MON YY]	04 Jul 06
DD Mon YYYY	SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(11), GETDATE(), 106) AS [DD MON YYYY]	04 Jul 2006
Mon DD, YY	SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(10), GETDATE(), 7) AS [Mon DD, YY]	Jan 24, 98
Mon DD, YYYY	SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(12), GETDATE(), 107) AS [Mon DD, YYYY]	Jan 24, 1998
HH:MM:SS	SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(8), GETDATE(), 108)	03:24:53
Mon DD YYYY HH:MI:SS:MMMAM (or PM)	SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR(26), GETDATE(), 109)	Apr 28 2006 12:32:29:253PM

Insert into Product values(1,’Parker‘,’501,Pen, Parker,$500‘)

3. We can also create variables of XML type.

Declare @x xml
SET @x =’501,Pen, Parker,$500‘
Insert into Product values(1,’Parker‘,@x)
