  • RE: Format Ints with commas?

    Thanks, Markus! Worked like a charm. @=)

    Is there a weblink or a BOL topic that I can search to see all the different types of format codes one can...

  • RE: Very high spikes in Current disk Queue Length

    The first question you should ask of everyone who has access to the server is "What has changed?". This might help you pinpoint the problem faster. I'm assuming...

  • RE: Finding Analysis Services in SQL 2000

    Well, gosh darnit! Now I have to go begging up to Corporate (who has outlawed new SQL 2000 installs) and see if they will give me a copy of...

  • RE: VARCHAR(1000) vs. VARCHAR(MAX)

    Microsoft seems to have their documentation mixed up. Here's where I got my information:

    Books Online - Index Search - pages [SQL Server], about pages

    Page Types:

  • RE: Changing Career Gears

    I have to agree with Timothy. It depends on what your employer of choice is looking for.

    I originally used the cert material as a method of learning the basics...

  • RE: Finding Analysis Services in SQL 2000

    I just tried running through the installation of SQL Server 2000 Developer. I tried adding components to my existing install of the SQL Server. There was nothing there...

  • RE: Finding Analysis Services in SQL 2000

    Well, the service is definitely installed on the server, but my client tools can't seem to access it. Do I need to install AS on my desktop to get...

  • RE: Finding Analysis Services in SQL 2000

    Markus,

    Thank you. That explains why I'm confused. I'm using the client tools on my desktop and should have gone straight to the source. @=)

    Thanks again!

  • RE: Finding Analysis Services in SQL 2000

    Loner,

    I'm trying to figure out if it's already installed, though. How do I do that?

  • RE: Changing Career Gears

    Clive, I didn't say I had no Real World experience. I said I had no professional experience. Professional = Paid official job title.

  • RE: VARCHAR(1000) vs. VARCHAR(MAX)

    Ditto to Ed's reply with one clarification. @=)

    The 2 byte overhead of VarXXXXX datatypes is basically a pointer (of sorts) that tells the data page that this field can grow...

  • RE: VARCHAR(1000) vs. VARCHAR(MAX)

    Yes... Sort of. It doesn't actually...

    Heaven forbid that you should leave it up to the application developers. They'll design you a database that makes a DBA job a nightmare! And there are people...
