  • RE: The Brittleness of Replication

    Steve Jones - SSC Editor (8/14/2014)


    I'll still disagree with you, Brandon. If something doesn't tolerate imperfections in the environment, it's a bit brittle. There are plenty of ways that replication...

    Toreador (8/14/2014)


    SQLRNNR (8/13/2014)Why can't sp_rename perform that same metadata update?

    Presumably it's the standard Microsoft trick - there's a bug in the software, they can't be bothered to fix it, so...

    Why can't sp_rename perform that same metadata update?

    Good question. That's something we definitely agree on. sp_rename should update all the metadata. If it did,...

    1% have gotten it correct? Clearly too complex for QotD. It would have been helpful know the number of correct answers to choose.

    Knowing the number would have...

    Correct answers:1%(1)

    I assume that's you, Tom? Wow... I hope I never have to troubleshoot a scenario like this. Tough, tough question. But very well laid out,...

    Wonderful question, Tom (even though I got it wrong :(). It's good to know the difference between snapshot and serializable.

    Am I the only one who noticed that the code...

    Replication Monitor is good for a quick sanity check but we have rolled our own monitoring solution. We are continuously adding features to that.

    That seems to...

    I'd love some rain. It's getting towards the end of winter here and it is soooo dry.

    I wish I could give you some of ours. I'm...

    "Air gaps are failed infosec" hasn't led to SCADA systems directly connected to the Internet. That's because there are SCADA systems that already are.

    Yeah, sure, so some...

  • RE: sp_rename and the procedure definition

    SQLRNNR (8/13/2014)


    The point on the second option is that the definition remains the same text as when the procedure was created with the improperly spelled name.

    It's been like that for a long time already. In some places, the QotD author is presented with the correct author. In other places, it is presented with...

    I remember one product from CISCO that incorporated MSDTC (the SQL 2000 name for SQL Express without tools).

    <nitpick>MSDE</nitpick>

    MSDTC is the transaction manager isn't it? Just being picky about...

  • RE: sp_rename and the procedure definition

    Interesting question. It's a pity that the first answer option is ambiguous, with one reading making it correct and the other incorrect, while the second option, which is claimed...
