    For those who followed. Paul and I have each posted a connect item for a nasty issue with rollback (corrupts your db). It seems to take a rather weird series of dml + ddl to reproduce. But it certainly looks like any normal deployement script I've seen out there.

    Rollback / Corruption bug

    https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/684806/rollback-causes-db-to-go-suspect-only-repairable-with-repair-allow-data-loss

    Paul's version (errors out with object not found, but the object is actually there)

    https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/684732/error-3316-in-routine-xdesrmreadwrite-rollbacktolsn

    Cool - good going Remi on the perseverance in seeing this through. I bet when Paul files something, it gets plenty of immediate attention.

    Good point.

    Also I think something like Rollback fails on ALL supported versions should get pretty good attention too :-D.

    That's the main reason why I +1-ed on both items.

    TIA. It just takes 2 minutes... restore plus hit exec on 1 script.

    Thanks.

  • Sorry but I just had to do this :

    This is a message I sent to Kimberly Tripp (Paul Randal's wife)

    Subject : When Paul's not enough

    You call in the best!

    Seriously, I'm 99.99% sure I've hit a bug in rollback and even with Paul White, Gail Shaw and your own Paul Randal we're still scratching our heads.

    Bug reproduced on 2k5 SP3, 2K8 R2 and Denali (didn't bother with 2k5 sp4 after seeing the same bug in denali)

    I would love everyones opinion on this topic please.

    Really nice useful feature.

    I wonder if the new splitter from the "Tally OH!" article would have helped here. I've not done any heavy testing with it against VARCHAR(MAX) but some folks have stated that it works just fine. Personally, I find that any splitter that "joins" with VARCHAR(MAX) is instantly twice as slow.

    I am betting it would have helped. I think the end result of using the TVP was the best solution though.

    Well it looks like we might have an SSC party at the PASS Summit after all for those of you that are going. No deal with PASS, but we'll likely sell tickets and have fun.

    Look for some details soon.

    It looks like the stars are starting to align with respect to me being able to go to the PASS Summit. My company needs to confirm that they have the money in the training budget for the conference, plus two pre-con days. Then, when presenting at a UG last night, the UG leader might forward his free ticket to me if no-one contacts him about it shortly (he can't go due to work commitments). Come on stars, just a little more alignment is needed.

    Tell your company I'll be there :w00t::w00t::hehe::hehe::smooooth::smooooth::smooooth:

    btw: Yesterday I was in a meeting concerning our new SAN. On the training topic the inital course was 3 days and was worth $2300.

    Do I need to point out you can pick the sessions you are interested in, related to the issues you have, MSSupport is on site and available for all your questions, a number of skilled peers will be on site and will be happy to reflect / help out on your concerns.

    And of course there are a number of MVP on site. Always nice to have a chat with these guys/galls !;-)

    Getting the confirmation you are doing fine with your systems is as valuable as fixing your issues - which I'm sure you'll be able to fix some, like I did over the years I've been granted the privilege to attend SQLPass.

    Big selling point in my opinion for Summit.

    Thank You everyone for the input on TVP. It looks like something worth investing my time to do some performance testing.

    indubitably :-D:-D

    I would love everyones opinion on this topic please.

    I see it as the first step needed for ORM and RDBMS to start liking each other again.

    Would ORM be

    (a) Object Role Model,

    (b) Object Relational Model,

    (c) Obect Relational Mapping,

    (d) Operational Risk Management,

    (e) Ogc Reference Model,

    (f) Online Reputation Management,

    (g) Organisational Research Methodology,

    (h) Something else (eg a Norse Dragon) ?

    i suspect you meant (c), in which case I have to say that I hope ORM and RDBMS never get to like each other. I'm quite happy to have objects (with their classes becoming types recognised by the database language, and with the ability to define new types using inheritance whether single or multiple, and and all that that implies) as values in a database, although I'm not at all convinced that is will very often be the best way to do anything. But I can't swallow Object Relational Mapping as it is touted by its advocates - as a means of misusing a relational database to hold components of obect values that fit in with the the primitive datatype capabilities of pre-1992 SQL without any neccessity to extend the relational type system to recognise the objects' types.

    I don't think there's any use in my saying what is wrong with ORM (in sense (c)). Others have said it far better than I can. For example thisappeared at seldo.com early in July 2010, followed in June this year by this[.
