  • RE: Resource Guvenor advice

    Hi Jason,

    AKAIK it should respect the RG setting - where are you seeing the additional usage (e.g.perfmon/DMV's/Task Manager/ShowPlans)?

    Thanks

  • RE: Identity Issue

    You can't add an Identity property to an existing field.

    So the way the GUI will do that is:

    Create a new table that does have the column with Identity property

    Copying...

  • RE: Resource Guvenor advice

    I'd imagine these are covered by the documentation you're reading, but a few things:

    Make sure your classifier function is as lightweight as possible - every connection to SQL server has...

    No one?

    Oh well, amazing competition it was this year!

  • RE: SQL Compatabilty error

    Can you post your query? It's probably using some structures not allowed in compat level 100.

  • RE: AutoRefresh fails after midnight on reports with date parameter

    No problem, hope one of them works!

  • RE: AutoRefresh fails after midnight on reports with date parameter

    Ah, I see. Don't know for definite the behaviour of the default parameters under auto-refresh, but I'd hope they get re-evaluated at each refresh.

    Guess you'll have to try it &...

  • RE: Want to find transaction log size before taking backup

    You can also check the performance counters too:

    SELECT d.name, logsize.cntr_value AS LogSize, logused.cntr_value AS PercentLogUsed

    FROM sys.databases d

    LEFT JOIN sys.dm_os_performance_counters logsize ON logsize.counter_name = 'Log File(s) Size (KB)' and logsize.instance_name =...

  • RE: Multiple columns IN support

    Does the Oracle query check both values in a row? Which would be this:

    SELECT

    ID,

    Name

    FROM

    EMP_TBL

    WHERE

    (ID = 1 AND Name = 'foo1')

    OR

    (ID = 2 AND Name =...

    Decimal(9,3) can store -999,999.999 to 999,999.999

    Decimal(9,4) is -99,999.9999 to 99,999.9999

    Not sure, but I think they're stored differently internally - decimal as an integer* with a factor of 10 multiplier, money...

    does it mean the sp that populates DS will run two times to fill the data in both data regions

    I would hope not.

  • RE: AutoRefresh fails after midnight on reports with date parameter

    Use an expression on the default that will set the value of the parameter to the previous day from midnight until (e.g.) 8am?

    Something like:

    =iif(DatePart("h", now()) < 8, today()-1, today())

    or the...

  • RE: Link table with datetime field

    Thanks guys. In this case, the 'whodunnit' is the updateserver, so no need for another field.

    The updatetime is the date/time the sourcefile was last processed by the updateserver, and so...

    Paul Randal (9/24/2012)


    2) Did CHECKDB complete and find errors? Check the value of @@ERROR afterwards - guarantees to be non-zero if CHECKDB found/had a problem.

    Thanks Paul, that's a much better...

    Sean Lange (9/24/2012)


    I think you are just overthinking it.
