SQLCMD


SQLCMD is a command line application that comes with Microsoft SQL Server, and exposes the management features of SQL Server. It allows SQL queries to be written and executed from the command prompt. It can also act as a scripting language to create and run a set of SQL statements as a script. Such scripts are stored as a .sql file, and are used either for management of databases or to create the database schema during the deployment of a database.

Visual Studio


Microsoft Visual Studio includes native support for data programming with Microsoft SQL Server. It can be used to write and debug code to be executed by SQL CLR. It also includes a data designer that can be used to graphically create, view or edit database schemas. Queries can be created either visually or using code. SSMS 2008 onwards, provides intellisense for SQL queries as well.

SQL Server Management Studio


SQL Server Management Studio is a GUI tool included with SQL Server 2005 and later for configuring, managing, and administering all components within Microsoft SQL Server. The tool includes both script editors and graphical tools that work with objects and features of the server. SQL Server Management Studio replaces Enterprise Manager as the primary management interface for Microsoft SQL Server since SQL Server 2005. A version of SQL Server Management Studio is also available for SQL Server Express Edition, for which it is known as SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS_SQL - cite_note-44#cite_note-44

A central feature of SQL Server Management Studio is the Object Explorer, which allows the user to browse, select, and act upon any of the objects within the server. It can be used to visually observe and analyze query plans and optimize the database performance, among others. SQL Server Management Studio can also be used to create a new database, alter any existing database schema by adding or modifying tables and indexes, or analyze performance. It includes the query windows which provide a GUI based interface to write and execute queries.


Business Intelligence Development Studio


Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) is the IDE from Microsoft used for developing data analysis and Business Intelligence solutions utilizing the Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services, Reporting Services and Integration Services. It is based on the Microsoft Visual Studio development environment but customizes with the SQL Server services-specific extensions and project types, including tools, controls and projects for reports (using Reporting Services), Cubes and data mining structures (using Analysis Services).

Programmability

T-SQL


T-SQL (Transact-SQL) is the primary means of programming and managing SQL Server. It exposes keywords for the operations that can be performed on SQL Server, including creating and altering database schemas, entering and editing data in the database as well as monitoring and managing the server itself. Client applications, both which consume data or manage the server, leverage SQL Server functionality by sending T-SQL queries and statements which are then processed by the server and results (or errors) returned to the client application. SQL Server allows it to be managed using T-SQL. For this it exposes read only tables from which server statistics can be read. Management functionality is exposed via system-defined stored procedures which can be invoked from T-SQL queries to perform the management operation.

SQL Native Client


SQL Native Client is the native client side data access library for Microsoft SQL Server, version 2005 onwards. It natively implements support for the SQL Server features including the Tabular Data Stream implementation, support for mirrored SQL Server databases, full support for all data types supported by SQL Server, asynchronous operations, query notifications, encryption support, as well as receiving multiple result sets in a single database session. SQL Native Client is used under the hood by SQL Server plug-ins for other data access technologies, including ADO or OLE DB. It is also used by the native SQL Server ADO.NET provider, SqlClient. The SQL Native Client can also be directly used, bypassing the generic data access layers.

 

 



VII. Glossary of terms:

 

ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990): As it pertains to paratransit, one section of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 is specific to public transportation provided by public entities. This section requires the provision of paratransit services by public entities. It states that the lack of accessibility or certain services by any “public agency” can be considered discrimination, regardless of who it actually affects.



Apache HTTP Server (also known simply as “Apache”): is a web server notable for playing a key role in the initial growth of the World Wide Web.

 

API (Application Programming Interface): An application programming interface is a set of functions, procedures, methods, classes or protocols that an operating system, library or service provides to support requests made by computer programs.

 

AVL (Automatic Vehicle Locator): a device or component in software that transmits the vehicle location to the dispatcher on a regular interval.

 

Batch Scheduling: is the ability to select a set or subset of trips to be scheduled or the ability to schedule a group of trips.

 

Database: a structured collection of records or data that is stored in a computer system.

 

Database Management System (DBMS): is computer software designed for the purpose of managing databases. The role of a DBMS in a larger system is to allow other software, or users, to store and retrieve data in a structured way.

 

Firefox: Like Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox is a free and open source web browser.

 

Google Maps: is a free web mapping service application and technology provided by Google that powers many map-based services including the Google Maps website, Google Ride Finder and embedded maps on third-party websites via the Google Maps API. It offers street maps, a route planner for bicycles, pedestrians (routes less than 6.2 miles) and cars, and an urban business locator for numerous countries around the world.

 

Linux: a modular Unix-like operating system. Linux is predominantly known for its use in servers.

 

MDC (Mobile Data Computer): see MDT (Mobile Data Terminal).

 

MDT (Mobile Data Terminal): a mobile computerized device used in police cars, taxicabs, courier vehicles, service trucks, commercial trucking fleets, military logistics, fishing fleets, warehouse inventory control, and emergency vehicles to communicate with a central dispatch office.

 

Multi-Modal Scheduling Solutions: is the ability for paratransit software to scheudule trips using more than one “mode” of transportation or across transit agencies and barriers for the convenience of the client.

 

Multiple Agency Functionality: the ability for paratransit software to accommodate multiple transit operators accessing a common dataset for the purposes of coordinated transportation.

 

ODBC (Open Database Connectivity): provides a standard software Application Programming Interface (API) method for using database management systems (DBMS).

 

Oracle: a relational database management system (RDBMS) produced and marketed by Oracle Corporation.

 

Oracle 10g: 10g is Oracle's grid computing product group including (among other things) a database management system (DBMS) and an application server. In addition to supporting grid computing features such as resource sharing and automatic load balancing, 10g products automate many database management tasks. 10g follows Oracle's 9i platform. Oracle says that the g (instead of the expected i) in the name symbolizes the company's commitment to the grid model.

 

 

Oracle 11g: The newest version of Oracle with features not found in Oracle 10g, such as automatic memory tuning, storage pool sharing among databases, and an automatic diagnostic repository that creates an “incident” ticket that informs the database administrator (DBA) immediately.



 

RDBMS (Relational Database Management System): a Database Management System (DBMS) in which data is stored in the form of tables and the relationship among the data is also stored in the form of tables.

 

Red Hat Linux: is a Linux based operating system assembled by the company Red Hat. It was discontinuation in 2004.
