  • RE: Sleeping Log Reader Agent blocking Distribution clean up job

    I think it would help us to know what your replication set up is.

    What type of replication?

    What is the latency / timing?

    Approximately how many subscriptions do you have...

  • RE: Backup SQL settings?

    Our business has 2 data centers. We replicate every single backup (including the system DBs) to the other data center. If we lose the server, there are two places we...

    I have some pretty bad news for you. Rebuilding the indexes will reduce fragmentation, but will increase the...

  • RE: DB transaction log file on a shared hosting service

    samanta0rodriges (7/30/2014)


    why won't Shrinkfile help?

    If you are not regularly backing up the transaction logs, the log won't free up any space. It will hold onto all the space it has...

  • RE: Display Duplicates

    Chris Wooding (7/24/2014)


    Why are duplicate companies a problem? I would expect at least a few cases where you have more than one contact at a particular company.

    Or a situation where...

    I think it's ok because the data is not mission critical and I back it up myself also with a console app I wrote. ?

    Matt,

    How is your console app...

  • RE: DB transaction log file on a shared hosting service

    So far as I know, explicit transactions vs implicit transactions will not affect how the transaction log grows. Here are a few links to read up on.

    My advice is get to know what the business currently has set up (databases, data -- the why and wherefore of it, and business rules). Then see if you can...

  • RE: Need help with basic spatial query

    Mark Harley (7/23/2014)


    Sorry, we're using a table variable and not a temp table. You can't add an index to a table variable, can you? We are pulling additional...

  • RE: Display Duplicates

    ChrisM@Work (7/23/2014)

    My event data actually comes from oracle and is stored in a temp table, which I believe means that we can't add an index to it. And...
