Steve wonders if it is worth it to use multiple monitoring systems for a database.
Computer network security is important, and it's something we ought to be more concerned with as data professionals.
This level takes a deeper look at how log fragmentation can affect the performance of operations that need to read the log, such as log backups, or the crash recovery process.
A DBA may consider switching a database to the BULK_LOGGED recovery model in the short term during, for example, bulk load operations. When a database is operating in the BULK_LOGGED model these, and a few other operations such as index rebuilds, can be minimally logged and will therefore use much less space in the log
This level will examine the most common problems and forms of mismanagement that lead to excessive growth of the transaction log.
Our major goal in terms of log maintenance for all databases under our care is to optimize for write performance, in order to support all activities that require SQL Server to write to the log, including data modifications, data loads, index rebuilds, and so on. However, it's also important to keep an eye on possible log fragmentation, which, as described previously, can affect the performance of processes that need to read the log, such as log backups and the crash recovery process.
Microsoft does not yet support this edition of Ubuntu, but there are some workarounds to make it work. This should not be used for production usage and this blog is for educational/testing purposes only.
Here's a teaser about Azure SQL Managed Instance, which isn't quite PaaS or IaaS, but isn't as locked down as you might think. This is the introduction to a three part series to follow.
Today Steve wonders how many of you might be looking forward to SQL Server 2025 and consider it to be a major release.

I have a table, called dbo.logger, in SQL Server 2022. I decide to add two new columns to this table with this code.
ALTER TABLE dbo.logger ADD CreateDate DATETIME CONSTRAINT dfGetDate DEFAULT GETDATE() GO ALTER TABLE dbo.logger ADD ModifyDate DATETIME DEFAULT dfGetDate GOWhat happens when I run these two batches? See possible answers
