    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...

    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.

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

    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.
