  • RE: Transaction Log backup size

    Check your database options.  AutoShrink on?  AutoClose on?  Auto Create Stats on?  What about your Transaction log checkpoint stuff?

    Chances are the reason the first 3 logs were so huge was...

  • RE: Auto backup Increasing Size Constantly

    What tool are you using to do an Autobackup?  A job scripted out in T-SQL or the DB Maintenance Plan backup stuff?  Or a third party tool like Litespeed?

    This makes...

  • RE: Access is denied when authentication is set to "enable anonymous access"

    If you can't add a non-admin user to the app server and the web server, you may be stuck.  That's the best solution I can think of, is using a...

  • RE: Order Database Design

    I'm glad I could help you out, Cathy.  And Chris actually has some good ideas (the best come from personal experience) that you might want to consider also.

    Hear, hear, James!  Having to explain why you want a wrist pad for your keyboard or monitor risers so you don't strain your neck ("Why didn't you need this before?" they...

  • RE: Dilema

    I am also a beginner at this, so someone correct me if I'm wrong, but here's what I've gotten from the articles I've read.

    Once you've determined where all your source...

  • RE: Order Database Design

    Cathy,

    There are a couple of things you should note about Paul's comment.  First, he suggests using a combo primary key for your OrderDetails table which you said you wanted to...

  • RE: DBA''''s more scarce in 2007

    Steve,

    I completely agree with the giving out people's names thing.  It's just funny that I don't have any to give out even if I wanted to. @=)

    As far as the...

  • RE: DBA''''s more scarce in 2007

    I keep getting calls from recruiters wanting to know "how are things going", putting feelers out for whether or not I want to jump ship.  Then when I return their...

  • RE: Log Writer Suspended?

    Sugesh,

    Thanks, but I already knew about the System Process IDs. 

    My concern was why system processes were suspended.  And my philosophy is "Better to know now when it's NOT a...

  • RE: Data Modeling

    William,

    A lot of people don't use FKs in their databases.  They stick IDs from other tables in their tables (which isn't quite the same thing) and then rely on the...

    Wow.  I didn't come up with that entry at all on my search.

    Thanks, Steve.  I appreciate your help with that.

  • RE: Ambiguous column name error

    AH!  That makes sense.

    Don't know why anyone would do that, though, considering that until SQL 2005 you couldn't order by column aliases.

    Well, maybe other people could, but I kept getting...

  • RE: Ambiguous column name error

    I use table aliases in my queries all the time.  All of us at my office do.  I don't recall that we had that warning in the UA when we...

  • RE: Ambiguous column name error
