  • RE: What front end tools do you use?

    We're currently using SQL Server 2005 for our production DBs and SQL Server Reporting Services 2000 for our operational reports (haven't upgraded to SRS 2005 yet cause we're still trying...

  • RE: What is your ideal employer?

    Honestly, I haven't had to make a lot of comparisions.  Not many moons ago, I was working in retail sales/customer service.  When I got my first real IT job (a...

  • RE: What is your ideal employer?

    "Thank you"s are definitely one of the non-pay recognition factors that I count as an important thing.  It's amazing how two little phrases ("thank you" and "please") transform a potentially dull and...

  • RE: What is your ideal employer?

    A boss who is reasonable in his/her demands and willing to stand up to the end users and the higher-ups for the employees under him.

    A team that communicates and mostly gets...

  • RE: What is Employers and Employee meant?

    Looks like this is a new forum.  Perhaps created or requested by RedGate??  Maybe it's supposed to be internal to them.

    Anyway, there's no moderator associated with it, so I think...

  • RE: Configuration File Drama

    We've tried everything we can think of to deploy properly.  Our problem is that we don't have separate servers for Dev/Test/QC.  We've got the same server for all three with...

  • RE: Configuration File Drama

    Lee,

    Thanks for the response.  I posted a reply on your thread as to what we finally figured out the problem was.  We don't have a solid resolution yet that applies...

  • RE: Changing connections at run time

    Lee,

    You replied to my post and I'm going to now reply to yours.  Several days after I originally posted, I found the problem with our situation & config files.

    When you...

  • RE: Procedure parameters return exact values but does not generate dataset based on the provided variable.

    You need a case statement in the WHERE clause of your procedure.

    My situation is doing a Data Dictionary where I give the user an option to choose a...

  • RE: Very large and slow differential backup

    There is another option.  Make some of your filegroups READ ONLY, then backup only the filegroups that are READ/WRITE.  @=)  (see Partial Backups in BOL)

    Or do put your large table on its...

  • RE: High CPU usage after a backup

    I'd recommend running SQL Server Profiler to see if there are any other jobs running after the backup which are still using those resources.  If not, run Windows Performance Monitor...

  • RE: "Execute As" and xp_cmdshell

    Also, as an FYI, while xp_cmdshell by itself is considered a security issue, it is disabled by default in SQL Server 2005.  So if you (and no one else) has...

  • RE: Full Text query times out on execution

    Check BOL for the following keywords "Full-Text Search [SQL Server], performance".  There's a ton of information on the page, so I'm not going to quote it, but I think your...

  • RE: Very large and slow differential backup

    To answer the second question first, I'm betting the USB connector is the issue for the slowness of the backup.  USB isn't quite up to speed with other disk drive...
