    Tom,

    It's not the number of disks involved in the RAID per say. It's the way the files are divided.

  • RE: At what size db does it make sense to split into multiple files?

  • RE: sql case sensitive vs case insensitive

    The only security issue I can think of with case sensitivity is Ye Ole Password issue. It depends on whether you want to use case sensitivity on logins.

  • RE: How to delete first couple of rows without knowing column name

    Ravi,

    It might be the DBA doesn't want to give that kind of access. But just in case the DBA really can't figure it out, tell him/her to grant you...

  • RE: Create and use temporary INDEX

    Alberto,

    Unfortunately, without more details on what you're trying to pull from the table, I can't assist you further. You need to give more details on what you're trying to...

  • RE: Create and use temporary INDEX

    Yes, there are changes on the DB. Both when you create the index and when you drop it.

    Additionally, if you create a clustered index, you're changing the whole structure...

  • RE: How to have multiple WHERE clauses depending on condition

    Grant,

  • RE: Create and use temporary INDEX

    That explanation doesn't help me figure out how to help you, unfortunately. What information are you trying to check?

  • RE: sql case sensitive vs case insensitive

    It's not a question of which is better in general. It's a question of which is better for your particular circumstances.

  • RE: Create and use temporary INDEX

    What are you trying to achieve with this temporary index? And why do you want it to only be temporary?
