Introduction SQL Server 2005 introduced native support for storing, managing and processing XML data when XML had become de-facto standard for data interchange. This feature still exists in SQL Server as XML has some inherent advantages and is still widely used but because many new applications have started using JSON for a light-weight data interchange mechanism, SQL Server 2016 introduces built-in support for storing, managing and processing JSON data. In my earlier article, I talked about JSON support in SQL Server 2016, how to format or convert tabular data to JSON format using the FOR JSON clause. We also looked at different variants of FOR JSON, to use AUTO to automatically get the structure of the JSON data based on the order of source tables and columns in the query or by using PATH to have full control in specifying the output structure of the JSON data. In this article, I will talk about using OPENJSON to read and parse JSON data, convert it to tabular format, and differe...

Since it was launched, Street Fighter V has been plagued with issues, most notably, the fact that people weren't able to log in to actually play the game online. The good news is that Capcom has fixed most of the glaring issues with the online component of the game and promises a smoother experience from here on out. The potential bad news? This fix coincides with PlayStation Plus being free to everyone this weekend, which means servers could go down due to the stress of so many people signing in. For those who don't know, PlayStation Plus (PS+) is the PlayStation Network's paid subscription service which, on top of offering free games each month, is required to play games online. Though I don't personally know anyone who owns a PlayStation 4 who doesn't also have PS+, there are some folks out there who are (somehow) enjoying the PS4 without it. This free weekend is exactly for people to try the service out for themselves and hopefully plunk down the $50 subs...

By Jenni . February 22, 2016 . 9:00am Street Fighter V experienced some issues concerning its online multiplayer following the game's February 16 launch. Capcom has been regularly updating players on the status of said issues. As part of the efforts to ensure the game is working as properly, server maintenance will be performed for three hours today. This means Street Fighter V will only be available for offline play beginning at 1pm PT/3pm CT/4pm ET. The servers should be back online at 4pm PT/6pm CT/7pm ET. Capcom has also issued status updates on general Street Fighter V performance. The matchmaking should be stable for PlayStation 4 and Windows PC players looking for Casual and Ranked matches. Also, new Fighter IDs should show up in searches after 30 minutes. The company is aware of Battle Lounge issues, problems with player ranks not updating, and slower than usual matching, and it has said it is looking into fixes for all three problems. Street Fight...

Microsoft's issued an interesting post in which it says it is making no changes to hardware support for Windows Server. Hang on there Reg ! Why are you reporting a post that says nothing is changing? The answer, dear readers, is that back in January Microsoft announced it would not support Windows 7 and 8 on new CPUs. The effect of that change is to just-about-herd-users to Windows 10 Users haven't reacted well to that edict, rather reasonably seeing as it deprives them of choices. El Reg suspects that a few have therefore asked if Microsoft plans to do the same with Windows server, as the post above kicks off by stating "Over the past several weeks, the Windows Server team has received a number of inquiries regarding certification and support for certain hardware platforms." Microsoft's answer is nothing changes. Or as the post puts it, "... Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2 will transition to extended support on 1/10/2018. Per our policy we would...

The State Department released the latest batch of Hillary Clinton emails in a proverbial Friday night news dump, which means that the media won't really have time to dig through them before a must-win Nevada caucus day. According to McClatchy, the State Department released an additional 1116 pages of emails, including 64 pages that contained classified information. That brings the total number of emails housed on Hillary's server that contained classified information to an astounding 1,730 so far: None of Clinton's emails was marked as classified during her tenure, State Department officials say, but intelligence officials say some material was clearly classified at the time . Her aides also sent and received classified information. Clinton, running a tough race for the Democratic nomination for president, has been under fire for months for exclusively using personal email routed through a private server while serving as the nation's top diplomat. ...

After a rocky start, fans may be able to enjoy "Street Fighter V" online. Server issues plagued the launch of the latest entry in Capcom's iconic fighting game franchise. The dedicated "SFV" server Twitter account posted several messages Friday reporting no issues with online play. With few options available to players to start, the main appeal for many "SFV" fans was the online experience. Since the game's launch Tuesday, many fans experienced difficulties in finding matches or severe lag during play. Other times, players were unable to connect to the servers. The issues were so widespread Capcom created the SFV Server account to keep players updated. Yoshinori Ono, "Street Fighter" series executive producer, apologized for the issues on Twitter on Thursday. I sincerely apologize to SFV player about @SFVServer some features state is unstable.Again, I'd like to apologize to SFV players. — Yoshinori Ono (@Yoshi_OnoChin) Febru...

The Market Vectors Semiconductor ETF (NYSEARCA:SMH), which tracks the PHLX Semiconductor Sector Index (NASDAQ:SOX), topped out at $55.78 per share in early December and has been in free fall since the beginning of the year. Investors are reluctant to step in after Gartner said in early January that the outlook for PC shipments in 2016 is for a decline of 1% compared with 2015, with the potential for a soft recovery in late 2016. The PC market is still in the middle of structural change, which will reduce the PC installed base in the next few years, said Gartner in their report. Notebook sales aren't doing so great either, according to Chris Danely of Citigroup, who downgraded the chip sector this week, citing that Taiwan notebook ODM shipments declined 38% month-over-month in January, below the three-year average of being down 14% on a month-to-month basis. Investors may have a new worry besides PC and notebook sales as a data center server chip war looms. Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QC...

Microsoft's Embedded and Server teams pursue independent support strategies for supporting Intel's Skylake chips. Credit: Newegg Microsoft disappointed many Windows users when it announced in January that it was yanking support early for Skylake PCs running older versions of Windows, including Windows 7. But recent news might give those users some hope: Microsoft's not applying those rules to Windows Server—meaning frustrated consumers might have some common ground with server admins. Microsoft issued its updated guidance for older versions of Windows Embedded and Windows Server on Friday. Neither operating system is typically used by consumers; WIndows Server powers server farms costing millions of dollars, while Windows Embedded runs on ATMs and the arrival/departure boards at airports. But what's interesting is that, while Microsoft's support policy for Windows Embedded on Skylake chips aligns with that for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1, its polic...

Posted By Geoffrey Tim on Feb 19, 2016 | Street Fighter V, as a fighting game, is Street Fighter at its best. It offers the perfect balance of accessibility and depth, and is just a stupid amount of fun to play. But even I have to admit that as a complete, packaged product, Street Fighter V is anaemic garbage. People are angry, and if they're not playing multiplayer, they have every right to be. Without going online, there's very little to do. It's been exacerbated by server woes that have made even playing online a pain, and it's frankly inexcusable given the number of functional betas the game had before it launched. If you enjoy playing fighting games alone there's little in Street Fighter V to make it worth recommending. If you like Street Fighter, and have people to play with, it's amazing. But not as amazing it would be if it bloody well worked properly. Capcom's hard at work trying to fix its messes. I've been a lot more fortunate than mos...

Following a statement earlier this week, Capcom has again spoken up to say that most of Street Fighter V's server issues have been resolved, following the fighting game's somewhat rocky launch on Tuesday. In a blog post today, Capcom acknowledged that some people may still be having some problems, and reported that there is "still a lot left to optimize" to make the experience smoother overall. "As many of you know, there were some issues with the Street Fighter V servers but we're happy to report that the majority of those issues have now been resolved," Capcom said. "That said, we know there is still a lot left to optimize and not everyone's experience has been the same." Capcom also provided a rundown of what it's been working on since launch. Below are the key bulletpoints, as written by Capcom. Matchmaking Matchmaking is now working as intended and users should be able to find online matches without much of a wait in bo...

Caricature by DonkeyHotey flic.kr/p/Ct4G4K I'm sure this isn't very important because, as someone famous once said, "What difference at this point does it make?" The guy does seem to be dead, so not much we can do. Late last month, it was revealed that at least one of the emails stored on Hillary Clinton's private email server was highly classified because it contained information derived from/pertaining to a human source. At least one of the emails on Hillary Clinton's private server contained extremely sensitive information identified by an intelligence agency as "HCS-O," which is the code used for reporting on human intelligence sources in ongoing operations, according to two sources not authorized to speak on the record. … According to a December 2013 policy document released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence: "The HSC-0 compartment (Operations) is used to protect exceptionally fragile and unique IC (intell...

Street Fighter 5 may have been well received by numerous critics, but users that have bought the game on Steam have not been that kind. The user reviews are not pretty at the moment for PC gamers. The user review score for Street Fighter 5 is only 6/10 at the moment. A lot of users are giving the game a thumbs down due to many things including the servers not running properly and more. The servers have been patchy ever since the game came out and it has been a problem for PS4 owners as well. Not to mention the lack of offline content has been criticized. Many people don't like the fact that the game does not even have a simple Arcade mode. To be fair though, the Challenge mode and another playable Story feature will be released for free in the near future. It's not like other games where all of the post content is locked behind a paywall. More fighters will be purchasable using the in-game currency of "Fight Money", although lazier gamers can use real money i...

Capcom has provided an update on the post-launch status of Street Fighter V, highlighting a handful of issues which have now been remedied. In a post on the Steam Community forums, the developer noted several network and sever issues across both PlayStation 4 and PC that should no longer be a problem. With regard to online connectivity, "login and intermittent connectivity issues should be less frequent." Additionally, Street Fighter V's matchmaking hiccups should no longer be an issue thanks to a "server side fix" implemented by the team. Other, PC-specific problems like Fighter ID corruption and game-crashing bugs are currently being looked into. Street Fighter V launched yesterday, February 16, for PlayStation 4 and PC.

The apparent discrepancy should spark further investigation, says Citizens United president David N. Bossie. "If Patrick Kennedy gave false testimony to the Benghazi Committee, the committee should send the FBI a criminal referral without delay," Bossie told TheDC. "I've seen numerous emails with Patrick Kennedy's name on them in which official State Department business is being discussed. The idea he wasn't aware of the scope of the private server's use is hard to believe." Kennedy was aware of Clinton's use of a personal email account. The emails that have been released by the State Department show numerous exchanges in which Kennedy emailed Clinton on her personal address, [email protected] If anyone outside of Clinton's inner circle at the State Department would be expected to know about the server, it would likely be Kennedy. As under secretary for management he oversees many operational aspects in the agency, including the dep...

"I do not understand why they set up a separate system. I have never heard an explanation of why she needed a personal email that was in fact had classified information into [sic] it. I you look at what happened in other cases, Sandy Berger, who was Bill Clinton's assistant during his years he got into trouble mishandling classified information at the National Archives," he said. "We saw what happened to General Petraeus. I think this is a matter that is very serious and needs to be pursued. And it does raise questions in my mind anyway about the fitness of Secretary Clinton's service as commander in chief." WATCH : [embedded content] Follow Steve on Twitter and Facebook

The service industry is a hard one to be in. No matter your skill set, your income is in the hands of those who sit at your tables. Living in a small town like Waco and working in a restaurant with medium range prices, it becomes apparent that those who come to eat are not always willing to pay for the service that comes with their food. Being a server is like a heightened game of judging a book by its cover. The initial greeting of your table often reveals who is going to demand more attention from you and if they are likely to leave a tip. The only issue with feeling tables out is that you don't get to choose who you serve. You may clearly see that the table that requires three alternate dressings for their salad is also doing their best to pay as little as possible for their meal, but it is still your job to supply what they need to enjoy their meal. There are special occasions like Valentine's that set service industries up for a huge increase in guests. Likewise,...

Another 551 emails from Hillary Clinton's homebrew server, including 84 messages redacted due to classified information, 3 of which were classified at the "secret" level, are now available. This brings the totals to 22 "top secret," 21 "secret," and at least 1,666 classified documents. Clinton stated during the early days of the scandal that her server contained no classified documents whatsoever. "The State Department took the unusual step of releasing more emails on a Saturday in the middle of a holiday weekend because of a court order last week that ensures a steady stream of releases between now and the end of February," writes the  New York Times. Well, yes, it's "unusual" in that State usually prefers to release Clinton emails late on Friday afternoons, rather than Saturday. Rest assured, faithful Clinton supporters and donors of the  New York Times,  the State Department will still be able to keep some of the most...

The big ARK: Survival Evolved update last week that brought split-screen play to the Xbox One last Friday also brought some new issues to the Game Preview program title. The largest to hit the open-world dinosaur survival game is a server connection issue that prevents players from connecting. A Studio Wildcard representative just announced Monday a fix is incoming soon. Xbox One owners trying to connect to ARK: Survival Evolved via the server browser. The most frequently occurring issue is receiving a message stating a server is full even when that is clearly not the case.

That means a hotfix patch will not need to be deployed to ...

Washington: A new tranche of 551 email documents from Hillary Clinton's private server released by the State Department on Saturday includes 84 that have been reclassified as "confidential" or "secret." The former top diplomat, a top White House candidate in the 2016 race, has been dogged by allegations that her use of a private email server while in office, rather than a secure government system, had put US secrets at risk. The State Department has so far released nearly 46,000 pages of emails out of a total 55,000 pages, all of which are expected to be published by the end of the month. Saturday's release totals 1,012 partially redacted pages of documents sent to or from her private server. The emails include 81 that were reclassified as "confidential," the lowest level of classification. Three were upgraded to "secret," a State Department official said. "The information we upgraded today was not marked classified at th...

Story highlights The latest tranche includes 551 emails, totaling just over 1,000 pages Eighty-four of the emails contained information that was retroactively deemed classified and therefore redacted in the release The latest tranche includes 551 emails, totaling just over 1,000 pages. Eighty-four of the emails contained information that was retroactively deemed classified and therefore redacted in the release. Here are the highlights from Saturday's release. The case for a Syrian no-fly zone: In one 2012 email, Tom Malinowski, then the Washington director for Human Rights Watch who later became assistant secretary of state for democracy, human rights and labor, argued in favor of a no-fly zone in Syria after hearing reports from a team his organization sent into the northern part of the country. "I recognize that the cavalry is not suited up and ready to ride, and that the mission would be far from simple or cost-free, even if limited to no-fl...
