  • RE: Covering, Compound & Composite Indexes

    A covering index refers to a non-clustered index that is defined across all columns (in 2005 you can now have Included Columns) that a given query is after.  This means...

  • RE: Advanced Protecting DataBase

    I ALWAYS remove builtin\administrators and I have had no problems with the SCU.  You may have a different issue.

  • RE: Exporting results from DTS to two different worksheet of same excel

    I can't say that I have done this, but since nobody else has responded...  It should be possible to do this using a variable to name the worksheets.  I know...

  • RE: Is pinned tables gone?

    The thing about pinning tables in memory is that you want to do it for small, frequently used tables right?  Well, small, frequently used tables are likely to be in...

  • RE: Advanced Protecting DataBase

    Before you do anything make sure that you have granted yourself sysadmin rights by some other means than by being a local administrator.

    Then make sure that the BUILTIN\Administrators login is...

  • RE: Important Criteria?

    I would humbly suggest that allowing your programming language to dictate your choice of DBMS is not the way to go.  Almost any programming language, and all of those that...

    sp_OAcreate can only be executed by sysadmins.

  • RE: DB Server Recommendation (hardware)

    I'm not sure about the AMD chips, but the Itanium 2 chips are a world apart from their Xeon siblings. 

    We moved our mission critical databases from a 4 way...

  • RE: Related extents...

    I don't believe that the extents are assigned an identifying name or number at all.  The GAM and SGAM pages of the datafile contain a sort of bitmap that tells...

  • RE: Where to build business logic in DB or web service & how ?

    I'm sure you think I'm just being argumentative, but the author of that article is an idiot.  The most notable attribute of the article is its incoherence.  He uses...

  • RE: SQL Server Failover Solutions

    In the case of PolyServe it's because the product brings totally new capabilities as well as provides some that are SIMILAR to clustering, but it does not use Windows Clustering...

  • RE: SQL Server Failover Solutions

    The "best" solution depends on a combination of your business requirements and your budget...
