  • RE: Installing SQL Server 2008 management tools on SQL Server 2005

    I don't actually run it either for a couple of reasons but it is more robust than intellisense. Due to the size of our environment I really can't use it...

  • RE: Installing SQL Server 2008 management tools on SQL Server 2005

    When you try Intellisense you will find that it is not as robust as SQL Prompt. Of course that is opinion but you should still check it out prior to...

  • RE: IntelliSense on SQL Server 2005

    Nope, just with 2008 installs. The tools work great though and there are some benefits, like recommended indexes when looking at execution plans and you actually get flagged when there...

    Yup, just making sure that there wasn't confusion between the two. Thanks for the clarification.

  • RE: Necessary to rebuild index?

    Just a note from BOL;

    "Rebuilding a clustered index does not rebuild associated nonclustered indexes unless the keyword ALL is specified."

  • RE: upgrade from sql server 2000 to 2005

    I honestly don't know. Haven't tried it. I could try to test it in the next day or so but not immediately as I'm a wee bit busy lately.

    Anyone...

  • RE: upgrade from sql server 2000 to 2005

  • RE: Production DB Inserts with No Blocking

    Blocking is required for databases to function so no, there is no way to avoid it completely. 🙂 Your solution is definitely a possibility and probably pretty sound.

  • RE: I/O requests taking more than 15 seconds

    A couple of queries as follows;

    --Help to isolate physical disk(s) that are involved in the I/O bottlenecks

    select

    db_name(t1.database_id) AS DatabaseName,

    t1.database_id,

    t1.file_id,

    substring(mf.physical_name, 1, 2) as DriveLetter,...
