  • RE: Shrink 1TB SQL 2K - how long should it take?

    It depends.

    I know that answer blows, but it really does depend.

    1) Database shrinking or File shrinking?

    2) Through the GUI or a DBCC command?

    Is the SQL Server Browser Service Running?

    It wasn't. Just started it, retried starting SQL Server Agent Service and got the same error message.

    Again, what Gail said.

    But in my original analogy, the parts of the plate covered with cookies were the active VLFs and the empty parts of the plate were the inactive...

  • RE: R2 problem with SQL Server Agent

    I've just opened up a new connect issue with the details of the SQLAgent.Out.

    EDIT: OS is Vista Business 32 bit.

    Here's what I've posted:

  • RE: R2 problem with SQL Server Agent

    Gah. This is seriously annoying. Neither Repair nor an uninstall / reinstall fixed the issue.

  • RE: Query Plans. Any way to store, retrieve, and execute?

    I've never even heard of anyone executing a query plan before. Just a query.

    Are you trying to execute a query with a specific query execution plan instead of letting...

  • RE: Determing Data Compression Gains

    Add your data type sizes (per row) and multiple by the number of rows in each table. This will get you the uncompressed size.

    Don't forget to add the overhead...

    Self-study has always worked best for me as I tend to forget class-taught items a week after the class unless I actually practice them.
