  • RE: Database Backups by Replication?

    Hotek gave a decent talk at PASS about using merge replication for disaster recovery. Basically if the publisher/master crashes, you can force the subscriber to push all changes from it...

  • RE: Scaling for large number of users

    Agree with Steves recommendations, except I'd raise the bar far higher on RAM - given the cost these days, I'd recommend a min of 2g and buy a machine that...

  • RE: .NET , Revolution or Assault?

    Latest thing I picked up at Pass was that in Yukon you'll be able to declare an object on the server and use it as a user defined data type....

  • RE: VBA ADO Connection to Excel XP

    I would be surprised to find that it wont be supported, more likely a matter of figuring out what to call it. An obvious guess would be Excel.10. Should you...

  • RE: Stored Procedures and Caching

    Good article! How does exec() work compared to sp_executesql? Lately I've been trying to develop the habit of dbo qualifying all my sql...not there yet! And as far as dynamic...

  • RE: .NET , Revolution or Assault?

    We're just getting started, but just the changes in the development environment almost justify the move. We use VB6 and Interdev right now. VB is good but starting to get...

  • RE: Web Assistance in SQL 2000

    Have spent no time with .Net - but I think you're wanting to create a text file each time a value is inserted? You can do this in a trigger...

  • RE: Guest Role

    App roles are a solution looking for a problem I think. The key feature and/or bug is that once you activate the app role, any permissions the user would have...

  • RE: DBCC CHECKDB grief

    Dont remember seeing this behavior..but maybe just never ran into it! You could pause the service which of course stops everybody from everything. Maybe try DBO only for the db.

  • RE: sp_executesql

    I always just make a mirror of each table I want to audit, add a new pkey and a dateadded col that defaults to getdate(), remove all other constraints. Then...

  • RE: How to modify a column data type

    Not sure if this is exactly what you're asking for - any DDL can be sent to SQL from ADO using the execute method.
