  • RE: Turning auto-shrink off?

    The main usual consequence of turning off auto-shrink is that your whole database speeds up.

    Secondarily to that, your database might grow a little bit now and again.

    The way to handle...

  • RE: Performance help

    Totally understand what you're running into on it. To optimize it any further, I'd need to actually see it in operation, look at the tables it's running on, check...

    I tried to reproduce your code, but it complains about (@stmt), apparently you did not test this code prior to posting.

    But my point anyway is that Catch...

  • RE: To Store Formatted Data or Not

    Another thing I thought of on this subject is that just storing the numbers makes certain types of pattern-matching much easier.

    As mentioned, there is no guarantee that two instances of SQL Server, even running on the exact same server, will return the same execution plan for the same query. ...

    Nope, there is no GUI for Service Broker (unless you count the template scripts). That was my point.

  • RE: Audit Trails and Logging Part I

    Mike, I would actually classify what you're describing as a form of active auditing. You created a log other than the SQL server transaction log.

    Yeah, in any sort of...

    Any specific reason you are copying and pasting from SSMS to Excel?

    I tend to agree, exporting works equally as nice, plus you get headers for free

  • RE: Need assistance grouping data

    It looks to me like you could Group By student number and test date, and just use max() for getting the grades. Aggregates eliminate nulls.
