Gail, you know the answer, give the users the ability to kill the offending SPID! Clean and simple solution to keep things quiet while the OP searches madly for a new job to escape the hell he/she has gotten into!!

Nice thing about deadlocks is that SQL does all the killing for you. The offending SPID goes away and your hands can stay clean.

Hmm, that means that deadlocks aren't a problem. After all, SQL takes care of them.

Thanks Terry, that means I have a lot less to do this weekend.

😀 😉

I had one of those earlier in the week.

OP: Why is my database still Restoring... almost a day later?

Me: Because you ran the restore WITH NORECOVERY

OP: Oh.

I mentioned it on Twitter (just generic comment), hour later I got a reply from someone telling me (incorrectly) how to bring my DB out of recovery.

I guess that Twitter SQL help thing is going to work out great, isn't it?

Can't help but think that the amount of help you can provide in 140 characters would be a limiting factor, especially when the issue is "urgent".... 🙂

Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part...unless you're my manager...or a director and above...or a really loud-spoken end-user..All right - what was my emergency again?

Precisely. Also hard to read intent. Especially when people are rushing to be *the* person who answered the question.

I think it may be related to the length of the ladder that leads to the end of the thread getting longer and longer. It's not everybody that can handle that long climb.

Five days of inactivity seemed a little much and I really hadn't been checking with my usual regularity so, as is my nature, I assumed the worst. And, believe me, I know about the work getting in the way. Been like this since just before the holidays although it is starting to let up a bit.

True it is that work is prohibiting a lot of thread activity. I wonder also if there is some interference from New Years resolutions and goals too. Everybody trying to get those goals accomplished early in the year, maybe?

Work, work, lots of work. I'm barely posting at all these days either.
