  • RE: Recomendations and opinions please

    Juan,

    I wouldn't wait for the 2008 certs to come out.  It'll at least be a year (probably two) before any decent study materials come out.  Besides, you get your MCITP...

  • RE: Backup job can''''t start because previous backup is still running

    You should not try and stop / restart the services until you've tried to kill that particular SPID.

    "Kill <spid>" is the command.  It may take a while, so be patient. ...

  • RE: Help about date

    If you look up "Convert Function" in Books Online, it will give you all the codes for converting a datetime to your proper format.  For the Italian format version, the...

  • RE: Heap indexes on functions?

    So essentially anything saved to the system that uses a table variable could potentially be listed in sys.indexes as a type "Heap" then.

    Hmmm.  I suppose that makes sense.  Would be...

  • RE: Identifying KEY Resource in Deadlock

    I have no idea.  And since SPIDs and object_IDs can vary per database, I'm not sure you'll be able to get an answer for that.

  • RE: Funny in Microsoft Press book

    I think the author's point was that maintenance used to be simple.  Then Microsoft re-wrote the whole thing and made it ten times more difficult in an effort to improve...

  • RE: Being passed on after an interview

    Personally, I think the cost of being civil to your contractor / perspective employer after an interview is far, far less than the cost of not getting the job /...

    Steve, here's a non-economic misson critical server for you.  The little boxes they use in every tower at every national airport.  It's not about money when you lose...

  • RE: Reseed doesn''''t change column properties?

    Actually, I just discovered that if you run the DBCC command with NoReseed after the original ReSeed command (if there are values in the table), it will reset on the...

  • RE: How to skip the first row in an excel workbook

    Opps.  I guess I didn't make myself clear.

    What I meant to say was that each source can have it's different column count (use the max # of columns you think...

  • RE: How to skip the first row in an excel workbook

  • RE: Cross Joins

  • RE: The Work Perks You wish to have

    RSI?  Haven't heard that acronym before. 

    I hate to say it, but I can see why companies are so resistant to buying ergonomic furniture.  First, it's more expensive than the...
