  • RE: compact database backups

    Litespeed has adjustable compression. It can go pretty small.

  • RE: compact database backups

    Third party tools such as Litespeed can do it for SQL 2005.

  • RE: Monitoring - How to Alert The DBA when the Failure is at the Server level

    One of our corporate teams monitors that sort of thing for us (Server is offsite) and notified us of these problems. Some alerts are auto, some are manual.

  • RE: SQL error on SELECT - MSG4104

    Wow. I need to add an example like this into my SQL Saturday JOINS class.

    Good catch, Jason.

  • RE: Transaction Log Shipping

    Henrico Bekker (4/29/2010)


    No matter what the answers, testing on production servers is never a good idea.

    I have to whole-heartedly agree with this sentiment. Create a Dev server setup and test...

  • RE: Will SQL Server 2000 run on Win Server 2008 R2?

    Better choice indeed. SQL 2k8 gives you so many more options that 2k. But you will have a LOT of code & stuff to upgrade, so get ready to work...

  • RE: database log file path and database data file path

    Maybe this is the old way of doing it... I'd never heard of sys.master_files before.

    Use MyDB;

    GO

    Select * from sysfiles;

    (Yes, I know using * is bad, but it's a tiny table).

  • RE: Adding unique constraint.

    Ditto to what Grant said.

    I'm curious. What answer did you give in the interview?

    It definitely sounds like she's using two different permission sets or that the client tools on her workstation were installed wrong.

    What perms does she have? Does she log into the...

    Mani-584606 (4/29/2010)

  • RE: COnnection failure

    When you retrieve this data, are you only pulling it from one database? Are you connected to that database?

    Are you pulling from multiple DBs? Are you using a Linked Server?

  • RE: Deny Select Permission. Can't remember off my head.

    Depends on ownership chaining. Does the same schema own both the view and the table?

  • RE: Different owner on the logshipped database

    Have you tried right-clicking the Logshipped DB in SSM and going to Properties? You should be able to change the owner there.

    Then again, I don't have a logshipped DB to...

    Without knowing the structure of your database or your query, we can't answer that question. Performance depends on too many things for us to blindly say "XYZ".
