  • RE: How Many DBAs

    There isn't a "best practices" rule that I'm aware of. Workloads are way too company-specific to really have a rule like that, or at least to have a rule...

    I think it was Voltaire who said, "before you may argue with me, you must define your terms". We gave our definitions of the word, and the...

  • RE: The New Office

    The culture definitely matters more than the physical arrangement, but I like open spaces more than closed. No clausterphobia or anything like that, I just like to be able...

  • RE: Point In Time Restores Question

    I built a proc at one point specifically for point-in-time restore from the production server to the test server, to have fully up-to-date data and schema, for testing migration scripts...

  • RE: Parsing data from 1 SQL table to 1 or more xxx_GLEntries_yyyymmdd.csv files

    Awesome. Glad I could help.

  • RE: SQL or Oracle

    Roy Ernest (2/11/2009)


    The tools that come with a product should be allowed to be used. But third party tools like a query builder for a DBA, I am not so...

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    I try to guage the degree of response based on how I read the question. If, for example, it looks like an interview/test/homework question, I'll simply say so and...

  • RE: Funny name?

    Per MSDN, it's a valid selection. And, yeah, I don't think I would want to make the business case on ths one.

  • RE: Microsoft Security Bulletin MS09-004

    Per the bulletin and per some web searches, it applies to any system that has that proc, except those listed in the bulletin (2k5 SP3, 2k8, aren't affected, same for...

    ALTER SCHEMA Trainning TRANSFER dbo.tablename;

  • RE: Parsing data from 1 SQL table to 1 or more xxx_GLEntries_yyyymmdd.csv files

    In BIDS, in your SSIS package, create an SQL object, have it run the query and assign the results to a variable of type "Object".

    Then create a For...Each...Next loop in...

  • RE: Trust

    Steve Jones - Editor (2/10/2009)


    I'm with GSquared on this one, even if he doesn't trust me :w00t:

    Well.... I'll think about it. 🙂

    Of course, you're another one that I trust and...

    Steve Jones - Editor (2/10/2009)


    A very good DBA can get by with SQLCMD (or isql/osql), but why should they? I loved QA, which required command line work, but it also...
