Sharing Made Easy - Excel


Its extremely easy to create a workbook and place it on a network location where several people can edit the contents simultaneously. For example, if the people in your work group each handle several projects and need to know the status of each other's projects, the group can use a shared workbook to track the status of the projects. All persons involved can then enter the information for their projects in the same workbook. As the owner of the shared workbook, you can manage it by removing users from the shared workbook and resolving conflicting changes. When all changes have been incorporated, you can stop sharing the workbook.

Share A Workbook
Not all features are supported in a shared workbook. If you want to include any of the following features, you should add them before you save the workbook as a shared workbook: merged conditional formats
data validation, charts, pictures, objects including drawing objects, hyperlinks scenarios, outlines subtotals, data tables PivotTable reports workbook and worksheet protection, and macros. You cannot make changes to these features after you share the workbook.


Edit a shared workbook
After you open a shared workbook, you can enter and change data as you do in a regular workbook

Remove a user from a shared workbook
Before you stop sharing the workbook, make sure that all other users have completed their work. Any unsaved changes will be lost. Because the change history will also be deleted, you may want to start by printing the History worksheet or by copying it to another workbook.

Sql Server database Read_Only / Read_Write

The ALTER DATABASE command allows a database administrator to modify SQL Server databases and their files and filegroups. This includes permitting the changing of database configuration options. Why Read Only ? When you need to ensure that the data is a database is not modified by any users or automated processes, it is useful to set the database into a read-only mode. Once read-only, the data can be read normally but any attempts to create, updated or delete table rows is disallowed. This makes the read-only mode ideal when preparing for data migration, performing data integrity checking or when the data is only required for historical reporting purposes. Make Database Read Only USE  [master] GO ALTER DATABASE  [TESTDB]  SET  READ_ONLY  WITH  NO_WAIT GO Make Database Read/Write USE  [master] GO ALTER DATABASE  [TESTDB]  SET  READ_WRITE  WITH  NO_WAIT GO In case you get the following error message make the database single user: Msg 5070, Level 16, Stat

Do's and Don't SQL

Do's: Writing comments whenever something is not very obvious, as it won’t impact the performance.  (--) for single line  (/*…*/) to mark a section Use proper indentation Use Upper Case for all SQL keywords. SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, WHERE, INNER JOIN, AND, OR, LIKE. Use BEGIN... END block for multiple statements in conditional code  Use Declare and Set in beginning of Stored procedure Create objects in same database where its relevant table exists otherwise it will reduce network performance. Use PRIMARY key in WHERE condition of UPDATE or DELETE statements as this will avoid error possibilities. If User table references Employee table than the column name used in reference should be UserID where User is table name and ID primary column of User table and UserID is reference column of Employee table. Use select column name instead of select * Use CTE (Common Table Expression); its scope is limited to the next statement in SQL query, instead of temporary tables and der
