  • RE: Update or Insertion in Table

    SA (4/10/2009)

    ms (2/17/2009)

    The key part of your post is "...slow last night".

    How has this process behaved in the past?... ask these questions to yourself:

    1) Does this process always takes the...

  • RE: Oracle 7 and SQL 2005 64 bit

    wmt (4/2/2009)


    thanks for that. I don't think the Oracle client for 9 will work with a 7 database however. The highest I could get to work was 8.

    You are correct,...

  • RE: Record Level Locks on table in MS SQL 2005

    Is this a newly acquired behavior or application has always behaved this way?

    In principle, adding locking is just going to add issues.

  • RE: Stored Procs "Hang" for hours

    Have you gathered fresh performance stats on SQL Server 2005 or are you running on the old SQL Server 2000 ones?
