Update SQL Server table with local data
SQL query or method to list all sql services running This might be a simple one, but i searched a lot and unable to find one.  Is there a sql query or a way i can run on registered server to find the list of all sql related services running like, ssis , ssas, ssrs, sql, agent, broswer, etc...  Tried googling out and can find sys.dm_server_services dmv but it does not show all the services running Origin/reason for the expression "on the bus" instead of "in the bus" Is "Five dollars is all I have" correct? Embedding $S_n$ into $A_{n+2}$ I am trying to prove that for all $n$, $S_n$ is isomorphic to a subgroup of $A_{n+2}$.  Say $S_n$ acts on $\{\alpha_1,...,\alpha_n\}$ and $A_{n+2}$ acts on $\{\alpha_1,...,\alpha_n,\alpha_{n+1},\alpha_{n+2}\}$.  Let $\sigma \in S_n$ and let $\phi: S_n \to A_{n+2}$ be given by $\phi(\sigma)=\sigma$ if $\sigma$ is an even permutation, and $\phi(\sigma)=\sigma(\alpha_{n+1}\alpha_{n+2})$ if $\sigma$ is an odd permutation.  This way $\phi(\sigma) \in A_{n+2}$.  Now, let $\sigma, \rho \in S_n$.  Then $\phi(\sigma \rho)=\sigma \rho (\alpha_{n+1}\alpha_{n+2})$.  Also, $\phi(\sigma)\phi(\rho)=\sigma(\alpha_{n+1}\alpha_{n+2})\rho(\alpha_{n+1}\alpha_{n+2})=\sigma\rho$.  So, $\phi(\sigma \rho)$ does not seem to equal $\phi(\sigma)\phi(\rho)$.  But the idea is that we want $\phi(S_n) \cong S_n$, and $(\alpha_{n+1}\alpha_{n+2})$ does not permute any members of $\{\alpha_1,...,\alpha_n\}$, so $\phi(\sigma \rho)$ and $\phi(\sigma)\phi(\rho)$ are equal as permutations on this (sub)set.  This feels a little subtle to me and I'm not sure if my idea is valid or not.  If it is not, can this proof still be saved?  I appreciate any thoughts on this.  Thanks. How to prove and interpret $\operatorname{rank}(AB) \leq \operatorname{min}(\operatorname{rank}(A), \operatorname{rank}(B))$? To prove $ \tan(A) + 2 \tan(2A) +4\tan4A + 8 \cot8A =\cot(A) $ There are two checkboxes for Run As Administrator in the Properties dialog for a shortcut in Windows 7. One is under the Shortcut tab in the Advanced Properties dialog, and the other is under the Compatibility tab.  I've seen this under Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. It might be in Vista and other versions, but I'm not sure.  What is the difference between these two settings? error in python d not defined. Forcing linebreaks in \url Show that $A$ is an invertible matrix if $\left(A+I\right)^3=0$ and find $A^{-1}$ How do I deploy an OpenStack cloud with Juju? I'd like to get a test cloud up and running in preparation for a possible deployment of 12.04. I messed with the UEC a bit, but have had a much harder time finding anything helpful as a primer for the new stack. There is generic documentation on Diablo, but there are likely to be a lot of pieces already handy in Ubuntu that a specific guide could save time with.  Also, as much as I would love to, my budget doesn't include the $4-6k to get a small cluster running with the Canonical support. for normal user I get :     /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/home/monty/google_appengine   which is actually the content of /etc/environment  For root I get:     /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin   what's the reason behind this and which file contains this line? How to delete all events on many dates all at once but not the whole Calendar in Google Calendar? How to delete all events on many dates all at once but not the whole Calendar in Google Calendar? I tried to click on a date that got an event to delete and dragged my mouse to 2 days after that date, but then I always see "create an Event". I thought I could press backspace or delete to delete all those events.  What I did so far = deleting event one by one :( Why don't players get extra xp for large encounters? Based on the table Encounter XP Multipliers from the Basic Rules' DM section, Page 57, when you're building encounters in 5E, you include an XP modifier depending on the number of creatures your PCs will be fighting: 1.5x for a pair, 2x for 3-6 and so on. However, the PCs only get the base XP as a reward.     This doesn't change the actual xp reward ... just your calculations of how difficult the encounter is.   Why is this? After acknowledging that battles vs multiple opponents are more difficult, why not reward them as such? Center figure that is wider than \textwidth I have a figure that is wider than the \textwidth of my document. (I don't want to change the \textwidth.) As a result, the leftmost part of the figure is flush with the left margin, while the rightmost part spills into the right margin too much. I'd like to center the figure, so that it will exceed the \textwidth equally on both sides. When trying to view  via the iOS app, I get this:        It's consistent, retrying does not help and the request always fail.  All other questions load just fine, so I highly suspect the cause is the Emoji icons used in there, especially in the comments that contain lots of them.  Beta channel, version 1.0.1.85  Update: still happening in 1.0.1.88 and I also found that the "preview" seen for example in tag search shows the Emoji just fine: I'm having trouble writing a regular expression that matches valid IPv6 addresses, including those in their compressed form (with :: or leading zeros omitted from each byte pair).    Can someone suggest a regular expression that would fulfill the requirement?  I'm considering expanding each byte pair and matching the result with a simpler regex. I never really bothered to keep my Hotmail contact information up to date, so now that I connected it to Windows 8, suddenly I see all this outdated contact information or people I've long stopped talking to.    I don't see any buttons or options where I can click to delete someone.  So how do I clean up my Windows 8 People app and remove these contacts? How did Lucius Malfoy know Sirius's Animagus form? In Order of the Phoenix, Snape eggs on Sirius at Grimmauld Place:  ‘Tell me, how is Lucius Malfoy these days? I expect he’s delighted his lapdog’s working at Hogwarts, isn’t he?’ [Sirius] ‘Speaking of dogs,’ said Snape softly, ‘did you know that Lucius Malfoy recognised you last time you risked a little jaunt outside? Clever idea, Black, getting yourself seen on a safe station platform ... gave you a cast-iron excuse not to leave your hidey-hole in future, didn’t it?’ Order of the Phoenix - Chapter twenty-four, Occlumency - Page 460 - Bloomsbury  How did Lucius Malfoy know that Sirius was a dog Animagus? How did he know it was Sirius in the train station? Some facts to consider: According to the 's timeline, the characters who are considered to be of the Marauders era (born 1959) were only five years younger than Lucius Malfoy (born 1954), so Sirius and Snape, and the other Marauders-era students, and Lucius Malfoy, would have been at Hogwarts together for two years. Prisoner of Azkaban demonstrates it took Sirius, James, and Peter four to five years to master the Animagus transformation, which would have been at least two years after Lucius Malfoy would have left Hogwarts (Although we don't know when Lucius became a school governor.). A canon-based answer would be great; barring one, a speculative answer in the spirit of canon is welcome. How can I port forward with iptables?
