Beschreibung
This book is an introduction and deep-dive into the many uses of dynamic SQL in Microsoft SQL Server. Dynamic SQL is key to large-scale searching based upon user-entered criteria. It’s also useful in generating value-lists, in dynamic pivoting of data for business intelligence reporting, and for customizing database objects and querying their structure.
Executing dynamic SQL is at the heart of applications such as business intelligence dashboards that need to be fluid and respond instantly to changing user needs as those users explore their data and view the results. Yet dynamic SQL is feared by many due to concerns over SQL injection attacks. Reading Dynamic SQL: Applications, Performance, and Security is your opportunity to learn and master an often misunderstood feature, including security and SQL injection.
All aspects of security relevant to dynamic SQL are discussed in this book. You will learn many ways to save time and develop code more efficiently, and you will practice directly with security scenarios that threaten companies around the world every day. Dynamic SQL: Applications, Performance, and Security helps you bring the productivity and user-satisfaction of flexible and responsive applications to your organization safely and securely. Your organization’s increased ability to respond to rapidly changing business scenarios will build competitive advantage in an increasingly crowded and competitive global marketplace.
- Discusses many applications of dynamic SQL, both simple and complex.
- Explains each example with demos that can be run at home and on your laptop.
- Helps you to identify when dynamic SQL can offer superior performance.
- Pays attention to security and best practices to ensure safety of your data.

Who This Book is For
Dynamic SQL: Applications, Performance, and Security
is for developers and database administrators looking to hone and build their T-SQL coding skills. The book is ideal for advanced users wanting to plumb the depths of application flexibility and troubleshoot performance issues involving dynamic SQL. The book is also ideal for beginners wanting to learn what dynamic SQL is about and how it can help them deliver competitive advantage to their organizations.

Dynamic SQL is an oft-misunderstood feature that is also the key to developing applications able to respond and be flexible in the face of rapidly-changing business environments; its use conveys business advantage. Developers and database administrators are thus motivated to buy this book in order to learn and correctly employ dynamic SQL in their day-to-day work.
The technical book audience is also weary of unwieldy books covering too much ground to just a shallow-level. This book appeals by focusing on just one topic and covering the topic well and to an expert-level depth.
Finally there is security. SQL injection attacks are prevalent and a common vector by which bad actors gain access to corporate data. This book addresses the issue head-on by showing how to ward of such attacks while still taking advantage of SQL Server’s feature set for constructing and executing on-the-fly SQL.
