  • RE: SQL Server Auditing?

    A server-side trace (that's what it's called) sounds like it'll do what you need. Definitely filter it, and manage the disk space in it.

    There's a function, fn_trace_gettable, that will...

  • RE: SSIS package ran by SQL job fails

    On the other hand, someone can be a very skilled DBA without being a skiller performance tuning expert. "DBA" covers WAY too much scope these days.

    Break the problem down into component parts.

    Try the query without the Group By.

    Try the query without the For XML.

    Or do the really simple thing and create a calendar table with all your rules built in, and just select counts from that. It's fast, easy, and gets the...

  • RE: SQL 2000 Access Rights/Access 2003 front end

  • RE: Where are the good Senior Level DBA's?

    Sounds like a good interview technique. I prefer a hands-on approach to technical interviews over a "can he regurgitate BOL" technique.

    And no, I'm not at all surprised about your...
