  • 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.

  • 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...

    Brandie, do you have any writing tools that you'd recommend, for tracking characters, places, plot segments, stuff like that? Preferably for iPad and PC.

    I use StoryBox...

    Looking at microsoft's site, that is a feature pack.
