    I'm just really impressed by the reaction that this site had to content that was lifted without attribution. A quick, scholarly reaction. I hope that Mr. Ben-Gan appreciated the...

  • RE: SQLServerCentral apologizes and you can win a book

    One thing most people don't realize is that quoting an author's work, and attributing it properly, might not be plagiarism but it is still copyright infringement. Microsoft gives a certain...

  • RE: Can someone translate this restore error?

    Having used Litespeed before I know it wouldn't help with this backup because it's a native SQL backup.

  • RE: Can someone translate this restore error?

    MyPath is a SAN drive on another server. I'd love to copy the backup file over to the server that I'm going to be restoring to, but I don't have...

  • RE: SQL Instance Memory Allocation

    In that case, I'd make sure you have enough RAM for both instances to be up (when the other server fails) and still be able to run the OS, etc....

  • RE: SQL Instance Memory Allocation

    I don't advise using the same server for a warm standby of your primary database. If you lose the server, you lose both the primary and the stand by.

  • RE: SQL Instance Memory Allocation

    According to Brent Ozar's blog (in the comments) it's 64GB per instance. But you should read his reply to that comment.

    Speaking of maps and geospatial data, which is a better type of data to use? Raster or Vector?

    The entire structure depends on your data, what you're keeping, etc.

    The way we have ours designed is by using versioning. We keep a "main" table that is narrow and contains...

  • RE: Using a column name in a COUNT function

    SQLMaister (10/15/2013)


    Select count(*) is the most efficient and correct way.

    Careful there. Absolute statements like this can get you into trouble in the DBA world.

    The "correct way" depends on what you...

    The best way I've found for using COUNT(MyCol) is to use either the identity column or the primary key column. That way there are no NULL results to worry about.
