  • RE: Database Size Help

    You posted in the 2005 forum. That's why I assumed 2005.

    You could create a trace to track that in the future, but that won't get you answers about the...

  • RE: Load per database

    Run a trace on batch completion. Include the database ID and/or name in the trace. Pretty quickly, you'll have data on which databases are used the most, and...

  • RE: stored procedure prefixes

    Personally, I've never seen a value to naming procs with prefixes like that.

    I prefer to start their names with the primary table they deal with.

    If, for example, I have a...

  • RE: get last modified date and user of an index

    Check the schema changes report for the database. That'll have anything that's in the default trace.

    If that doesn't go back far enough (sometimes it doesn't go back very far...

  • RE: Database Size Help

    SQL 2005 has a default trace that includes database growth events. Look in there, find out how often the database grows. Most likely, you're getting more than one...

  • RE: The Value of Experience

    I'd say you can become a good DBA either way.

  • RE: Parameterize data sources??

  • RE: decimal or money

    No, Microsoft isn't planning on dumping any of these data types.

    One of the things that gets left out of most of these debates is that the CPU does all it's...

  • RE: Pull or Push the Data

    I've seen both work well. A lot of it has to do with the relative power and load of the two servers. Remote queries can also be quite...

  • RE: Parameterize data sources??

    Are you using DTS or SSIS? (The forum is for SSIS, but you mentioned SQL 2000 data sources, so I need to ask.)

    SSIS has a very nice For Each...

  • RE: With Nolock

    That's simply due to the fact that the software is essentially lazy. The first query, run multiple times, is likely to pull the same data, because both the plan...

    Two cups of coffee and feeling philosopical...

    When I was a boy, and computers were carved from wood and cranked by hand, it was widely understood that hierarchical...

    Mithilesh,

    I tried a similar query. I do agree that NOLOCK gives uncommited data but very strangely when I was trying the queries, there was no other user/activity...so i dont...

    Sigh... I always over-design things.

    Before the XML data type, all data could be stored in tables with a no more than 4 columns....

  • RE: must be missing something on while() code

    You're welcome. Glad I could help.
