Total SQL Analyzer Review

  • Article

Often times, a DBA is asked by clients to document their entire server. This usually includes jobs, database objects and DTS packages. What an utterly boring task it is for a DBA to document the properties of each column, table, and database. FMS's new Total SQL Analyzer to the rescue, freeing up time for people who are tired of creating mountains of documentation.

Easily Create Insert Scripts with AutoInserts

  • Article

One of the most pain-staking tasks a developer and DBA must often accomplish is to create an install procedure for the database. This involves creating the necessary DDL to create the tables, relationships and indexes. Inevitably in this process you forget about the data. AutoInserts to the rescue!

Question of the Day

Restoring On Top II

I have a database, DNRTest, that has a number of tables and other objects in it. The other day, I was trying to mock up a test and ran this code on the same server: 

-- run yesterday
CREATE DATABASE DNRTest2
GO
USE DNRTest2
GO
CREATE TABLE NewTable (id INT)
GO
Today, I realize that I need a copy of DNRTest for another mockup, and I run this: 
-- run today
USE Master
BACKUP DATABASE DNRTest TO DISK = 'dnrtest.bak'
GO
RESTORE DATABASE DNRTest2 FROM DISK = 'dnrtest.bak' WITH REPLACE
What happens?
