  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    On a semi-technical note, can I just say that I figured out how to do a JOIN to an UNPIVOT without using a derived table in the mix?

    I'm so proud...

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    Speaking of DVDs, who gets the proceeds of the Summit DVDs? Do the presenters get any cut of that at all?

    My vote is in. I hope you get it, Jeff. You're the only one of the lot that I know actually has a couple of "official" SQL phrases coined.

    The best training I've come across is offered by Four Deuce (http://www.fourdeuce.com/training/publicclasses.aspx).

    Brandie, my apologies, I didn't mean to completely skip this, and somehow I did....

  • RE: Transactio log won't shrink on mirrored database

    Gail and I are both recommending that you avoid shrinking the data file if at all possible. The database claimed that space because it uses it, even if only occasionally....

  • RE: Transactio log won't shrink on mirrored database

    mortalic (7/15/2011)


    So is it more productive to not shrink the db, and not rebuild the indexes?

    You're taking Gail's comment out of context. Indexes do require periodic rebuilding just as...

  • RE: Transactio log won't shrink on mirrored database

    Ditto to what Gail said. Do not shrink your data file.

    You need to reevaluate your entire mirrored server set up. Why is it chewing up space when your primary server...

    Run checkpoint and then try doing a shrink file

    I disagree with this advice for reasons stated before this answer was posted.

    The problem is that as soon as you mention the words "boot camp," every trainer who has a certification boot camp comes out of the woodwork trying to sell you...

  • RE: Transactio log won't shrink on mirrored database

    Why do you feel the need to shrink your log file? Are you having serious space issues?

    If not, don't obsess about file shrinking. It's not worth the headaches you're about...

  • RE: Restoring From Backup

    As a matter of fact, we have jobs that restore daily down to our QA server. We don't do every database, but we do the major ones.
