MS SQL Databases supported by NHibernate.

SQL Server 2005 and 2000 are the primary databases used by the developers of NHibernate.

Configuration example:

<?xml version=”1.0″ ?>
<hibernate-configuration xmlns=”urn:nhibernate-configuration-2.2″ >
<session-factory>
<property name=”connection.provider”>NHibernate.Connection.DriverConnectionProvider</property>
<property name=”dialect”>NHibernate.Dialect.MsSql2005Dialect</property>
<property name=”connection.driver_class”>NHibernate.Driver.SqlClientDriver</property>
<property name=”connection.connection_string”>Server=(local);Initial Catalog=dbname;User Id=user;Password=********</property>
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

For SQL Server 2000, change the dialect to NHibernate.Dialect.MsSql2000Dialect.

I passed my oDesk Online Skill Assessment Test!

I passed the oDesk Online Skill Assessment Test recently. Happy to hold the first place in the oDesk Readiness Test for Independent Contractors and Company Managers!

Error 18452 - Login failed for user ‘username’. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.

Connection failed:

SQL Server Error: Error 18452

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Login failed for user ‘username’. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
SQL Server is not set to use both SQL Server and Windows Authentication Mode.

To resolve this issue, follow the instructions to set User Authentication.

SQL Server 2000:

1. Go to Start > Programs > Microsoft SQL Server > Enterprise Manager.
2. Right-click the Server name, select Properties > Security.
3. Under Authentication, select SQL Server and Windows.

SQL Server 2005:

1. Go to Start > Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2005 > SQL Server Management Studio.
2. Right-click the Server name, select Properties > Security.
3. Under Server Authentication, select SQL Server and Windows Authentication Mode.

The server must be stopped and re-started before this will take effect

Excel Worksheet to Calculate your PMP hours.

I am targeting to get my Project Management Professional (PMP®) certification this year. I have completed the 35 contact hours of classroom training on project management with Global Knowledge. I have a bachelor’s degree and clocked more than 4,500 hours of PM experience.

The tedious part of the whole application process is to fill in the details of the 4,500hrs of PM experience. This will take quite awhile to fill in the details of each project and break down it further to hours in the 5 process groups.

So I did a simple Excel Worksheet to help me calculate my PMP hours before I start filling in the application forms. Click here to download a copy.
