  • RE: insert data

    You could also use OpenRowSet without creating a linked server, I believe. Or SSIS.

    There are plenty of methods available. The question is, what tools does your workplace have available for...

  • RE: Primary Filegroup Full

    It could be also that the drive containing your TempDB is full. That error comes up for me when that happens. TempDB in our place is on a different drive...

  • RE: Common questions asked in SQL Server DBA Interview

    My favorite interview question to ask interviewees is "How to you do a point in time restore for a database in Simple Recovery Mode?"

    Simple question, right? Yet, it stumps so...

  • RE: Annoying SSIS Truncation Error

    Nevermind. I finally figured out how to make the stupid Conditional Operator work correctly. It kept complaining that I couldn't use a LEN() function in conjunction with a string. a...

  • RE: why i can't shrink tempdb data file

    My thought on this issue is that the server still thinks something's wrong.

    Announce to your users that you'll be taking the server down for maintenance on X date at...

  • RE: why i can't shrink tempdb data file

    And don't forget to check the size of Model too. TempDB is created off the settings on Model (all databases are) and if Model was changed, than all dbs will...

  • RE: Copying code

    Brad,

    I too am a fictional writer, so I understand the pains you're going through. However, most people who publish code solutions on the internet usually do so with the expectation...

  • RE: Database Mail Problems

    ????

    SQL Server shouldn't require SSIS in order to use database mail. SSIS SMTP mail should be completely separate from the database engine SMTP mail.

    You should report this to Microsoft. Those...

    Must be finals week :w00t:

    I didn't even think about that. You're probably right. @=)

  • RE: Database Mail Problems

    jabba (5/20/2009)


    Still an issue they end up in the msdb.dbo.sysmail_sentitems

    That tells me the issue is with the mail server, not SQL.

  • RE: Log Shipping

  • RE: Transactions

    There's no good answer to that. It depends on your hardware, your server configuration, and how much parallell threading you allow the server to do.

    If you absolutely need a number,...
