  • RE: DB Design Question

    What makes you say that adding a Player1 and player2 columns to the teams table is a serious normalization violation?  If a team can have 2 and only 2 players,...

  • RE: Server logins as "dbo" database login causing problems.

    Aaron is correct, just use the sp_changedbowner proc.  Then you should be able to drop User1.

    User1 is probably being shown as the database owner because that login was used to...

  • RE: The Value of A DBA

    "Tim O'Reilly wrote last year "We're entering a new world in which data may be more important than software.""

    Welcome to the real world Tim!  That statement betrays a deep...

  • RE: command line restore

    As far as I know the only way you can do this is if you use dump devices.  Define the device using sp_addumpdevice then do your backups (full and t-log)...

  • RE: User granting permission in another user schema

    The problem is that granting execute on a stored procedure does not necessarily grant all the required permissions for all operations that the procedure might attempt to perform.  This is...

  • RE: dynamic columns?

    Almost anything is possible, but it would get ugly pretty fast.  Just off the top of my head, I think you would have to declare a cursor to loop through...

  • RE: Transaction Log Readers

    I agree with Rudy that there might be more appropriate ways to approach this particular situation.  From my experience, the most likely scenario is that someone switched the recovery model...

  • RE: Transaction Log Readers

    I don't know what you consider to be expensive, but Lumigent's Log Explorer was less than $1,000 per server last time I checked.  They offer an eval download too, so...

  • RE: Can''''t connect to ''''Local'''' or server name via QA

    Oops, I missed that.  Have you tried setting up an alias in the client network utility?  You might try setting up one to use named pipes...

    I remember having a similar...

  • RE: Can''''t connect to ''''Local'''' or server name via QA

    Try using the ip address.

  • RE: dbo, who should it be?

  • RE: SQL 2000 - Network Packet Size Parameter

    The type of network use is a relatively minor factor in this equation.  The more important factors are the average size of the requests being sent to the server and...
