  • RE: Restore with no backup

    Yes, admitting that we don't know how to do something is critical in our work.

    Ultimately there is no point in pointing fingers, just learning lessons and growing. Hopefully no...

  • RE: Restore with no backup

    Unfortunately there is nothing you can do once you have dropped the database. If you had detached it then you might be ok.

    Are you sure there are no backups?...

  • RE: Product: Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Backward compatibility -- Installation failed.

    I guess the restart doesn't surprise me but the error message stunk! Thanks for following up with the final solution.

  • RE: Backup Restore to test SQL Server 2000

    Yes, the less physical space that has to be allocated on the drive the less time it will take. The remainder of the restore process will remain unaffected though.

  • RE: Issues with Recovering a suspect database

    Thanks for posting the outcome. Too bad you can't keep it around to try to work through some type of recovery. Good experience anyway.

  • RE: Backup Restore to test SQL Server 2000

    Yeah, ArcServ being the tape backup solution would probably be a mite slow in the restore process as well as the backup process. Are they / you backing up directly...

  • RE: Issues with Recovering a suspect database

  • RE: Issues with Recovering a suspect database

    I'm assuming you mean my rationale for lower case with "_" (I have to hit shift for the "_"). quote]

    Yeah, that was my humor. Sorry, most people...

  • RE: Naming Guildlines / Standards

    Jack - Is that just so that you don't have to hit the shift key. 😛

    Seriously though, I would like to hear your rationale on that. Thanks for sharing in...
