  • RE: RAID 1 vs. RAID 10

    Do not forget the bandwidth of the PCI bus.

    Do not forget the availability of multiple I/O channels in the controller and whether or not any MPIO load balancing is used.

    In...

  • RE: How to script existing DB Maintenance Plans

    What you have to keep in mind is that DTS and MPW are NOT the same thing, but SS2K5, and beyond, has chosen to integrate the tasks, not the schedules.

    If...

  • RE: How to script existing DB Maintenance Plans

    These difficulties are due to the need for backwards compatibility and the new architecture. If you examine an SS2K5 (or SS2K8, for that matter) MSDB database, you will notice...

  • RE: How to script existing DB Maintenance Plans

    Basically, yes, but even in SS2K you might have needed to use the DTS Designer to modify package connections if you used "(local)" and/or logged package executions locally.

    It is a...

  • RE: How to script existing DB Maintenance Plans

    First of all, DTS (and/or SSIS) packages are just that, packages. They can be saved to a code file, a proprietary file (.dts or .dtsx), or saved in the...

  • RE: How to script existing DB Maintenance Plans

    You must keep in mind that only the SS2K maintenance plans are stored in the maintenance plans MSDB system tables as legacy object.

    The new SS2K5 maintenance plans are modified SSIS...

  • RE: Text Column Updates

    I think we just need better questions, for example:

    In SQL Server 2005, what is the preferred way to update LOB data?

    In this case, you would need to know that the...

  • RE: Lookup Table Madness

    Once, we had a round-table database design question with the Senior IT leadership, based on this exact topic, data integrity and RI versus the development effort surrounding a MUCK design—yes,...

  • RE: Lookup Table Madness

    Well, that could certainly spawn off into a whole other argument: using relational or dimensional warehouse structures.

    E-gad.

  • RE: Lookup Table Madness

    It sounds like you've got a pretty good handle on the operatioanl components, but the drudgery of the reporting is what you are finding the MUCK solution for.

    I'm not sure...

  • RE: Lookup Table Madness

    You are absolutely correct, the Business Model rules because it is the model that contains all of the business requirements.

    The Data Model models the data about which we describe the...

  • RE: Lookup Table Madness

    As much as I would like to agree with you, the posts here are not at all uncommon from those I work with, and, unfortuanately, more often than not, they...

  • RE: Lookup Table Madness

    Couldn't agree more.

    A good article, but the subsequent discussion has pretty much run its course.

    Sincerely,

  • RE: Lookup Table Madness

    I agree that this gets old, but isn't this a public forum?  If some are allowed to write this dribble, then aren't others allowed to respond?  And, the dribble keeps...

  • RE: Lookup Table Madness

    What in the world is that garbage: "optimize for flexibility," "optimize for speed."  Try this one out for a change.  How about "optimize for correctness and integrity."

    You tell me, is...
