  • RE: Trigger which gives the information through Mail

    What Jack said. I'm not suggesting a Trigger at all. In fact, I strongly urge you not to use a trigger. Triggers play merry heck with the database processing power.

  • RE: Stored Procedures

    Slam? I didn't mean to slam. Sorry if you took offense at my reply.

    Roy is correct about the procs, though. What you've got will work, but it'll be heck on...

  • RE: Stored Procedures

    Lee,

    I think they do, but don't take our word for it. Stick in a dummy proc in your GOTO that creates some fake data, then stick another dummy proc in...

  • RE: I am getting the below error while executing the Job. Can any one advice me on this

    Okay. DB Maintenance plans are created as SSIS packages, so that explains the error format.

    More questions & some suggestions.

    Do you have any third party software installed for backing up your...

  • RE: Database Mail not sending the attached text file

    Kevin,

    Can you give us the details of the job step that sends out the mail and is supposed to include the attachment? Things like Step Type, the database it's running...

  • RE: DB Backup

    BOL (Books Online) is also a good resource.

    I'm pretty sure that backing up a standby database is not really any different from backing up a regular database.

  • RE: Stored Procedures

    I have rarely seen stored procedures that call other stored procedures. Mostly they call functions.

    Have you tested your Exec statements yet? Your pseudo-code looks basically correct.

  • RE: SQL DBA Metrials

    Another suggestion is to look at the DBA cert books. Not to study for an exam, but because some of the better cert books give you detail by detail how...

  • RE: WMI event error

    I can't count the number of times that a wrong phrase in Google had me chasing ghosts. @=)

  • RE: Trigger which gives the information through Mail

    I'm going to reiterate what I said earlier.

    Use DDL triggers to log changes to a table in an Admin database. Use a Datetime column to log the time the...

  • RE: Database Mail not sending the attached text file

    We actually have this working with attachments, but it's been a while since we set it up.

    However, just got a new Dev cluster, so I'll play with it in the...

  • RE: Group By clause

    As soon as I find some data and code I can post without having to sanitize it first, I'll put up an example.

  • RE: Group By clause

    RBarry,

    Depends on the situation. You can't always fix the Group By. Sometimes it screws up your result set if you do.

    Believe me, I've tried that. Sometimes fixing the Group By...

  • RE: Pivoting Data Without Aggregation

    Wait a minute. I just looked at your data again. You're not doing a pivot. Not even close. Pivot is where you change your columns into rows and rows into...
