  • RE: Help! Drowning! Runaway log file!

    Don't forget, if you're doing a lot of deleting (data from tables), these transactions do get logged. That could also be adding to the size of your Transaction Log....

  • RE: multi level grouping ?

    Don't forget that you don't have to do all your sorting & grouping in SQL Server itself. You can do some of it with the Groups in SSRS. ...

  • RE: how do you secure SQL against everyone?

    Ahh, who needs access to data anyway! Right? @=)

  • RE: Integer vs nchar(6) primary keys

    I would advise testing with both an int PK and a change of the nchar(6) to char(6). Run Profiler during the tests so you can see what it's doing....

  • RE: Restore a 2005 db to a 2000 server

    Thanks for checking that out, William. I appreciate the confirmation.

    So, pretty much any reversion from 2k5 to 2000 has to have the following traits:

    1) No use of 2k5 objects...

  • RE: Integer vs nchar(6) primary keys

    Remember that any datatype starting with the letter "n" is a Unicode-compatible datatype and requires extra overhead for processing. Because Unicode characters have so much more space in them...

  • RE: Oh no someone has snookered our transition plan!

    And remember, you don't have to install Reporting Services for SQL Server to function.

    SSRS is a separate install that you are required to choose (or not) during the...

    Anything that doesn't kill you is something else you can add to your resume. @=)

    Good luck with your move.

  • RE: Restore a 2005 db to a 2000 server

    No, I haven't. I've never needed to revert. But even though that wizard is out there, I'm sure it can't revert everything.

    There are a lot of...

  • RE: Restore a 2005 db to a 2000 server

    Yeah, unfortunately you can't move a 2005 database to 2000 without a lot of work. Even then, something will probably fail.

  • RE: Connection Manager Error moving data from SQL Server 2000?

    But in your previous post, you said you're writing "TO" SQL Server 2000. And that is what seems to be the problem to me. Check your destination source...

  • RE: Identify a checklist for database relocation

    MP,

    You should be aware of everything.

    Are your Servers names actually changing? What about share folder names? Instance names? DNS names / pointers? Permissions?

    If you're going to...

  • RE: How much time every day?

    The first 15-30 minutes of my day are checking the jobs, making sure all of them ran correctly. This determines how the rest of my day goes.
