The query below has an order by that is invalid. a.creation_time does not exist in the derived table.
select a.*
from (select execution_count,
total_elapsed_time ,
total_logical_reads,
substring(st.text, (qs.statement_start_offset/2) + 1,
((case statement_end_offset
when -1 then datalength(st.text)
else qs.statement_end_offset
end
- qs.statement_start_offset)/2) + 1) as statement_text
from sys.dm_exec_query_stats as qs
cross apply sys.dm_exec_sql_text(qs.sql_handle) as st ) a
where a. statement_text not like '%select a.*%'
order by a.creation_time;
Note from the Author or Editor:
The query should be changed to:
select a.*
from (select execution_count,
total_elapsed_time ,
total_logical_reads,
substring(st.text, (qs.statement_start_offset/2) + 1,
((case statement_end_offset
when -1 then datalength(st.text)
else qs.statement_end_offset
end
- qs.statement_start_offset)/2) + 1) as statement_text
from sys.dm_exec_query_stats as qs
cross apply sys.dm_exec_sql_text(qs.sql_handle) as st ) a
where a. statement_text not like '%select a.*%'
order by a.total_elapsed_time desc;

the last paragraph |
"When you define a constraint on a table that says that one set of columns uniquely identifies a row in the column, ..."
Should the part of "a row in the column" be "a row in the table"?
Note from the Author or Editor:
Replace p 44 (Chapter two), last paragraph, third line, 'one set of columns uniquely identifies a row in the column' by 'one set of columns uniquely identifies a row in the table'. |

this is the SQl Server script
in the generatedata script you have :
PreparedStatement st2 = con.prepareStatement("insert into area_accounts(areaid,"
+ "accountid)"
+ "select ?,?"
+ " from dual"
+ " where not exists (select 1"
+ " from area_accounts"
+ " where areaid=? and accountid=?)");
the issue is "from dual"
Dual table in sql server so just remove the line to:
PreparedStatement st2 = con.prepareStatement("insert into area_accounts(areaid,"
+ "accountid)"
+ "select ?,?"
+ " where not exists (select 1"
+ " from area_accounts"
+ " where areaid=? and accountid=?)");
