  • Reply To: Active connection at specific time

    It depends.  If the application has a timeout on the SQL connection configured, then the connection will go away when it is closed or timed out.  If the application has...

    I recommend you NEVER run "random code" you found online on any system you care about UNLESS you understand and can verify the code OR you don't care if the code trashes your system.

    Second, could you provide an actual execution plan for the rid method?   that...

  • Reply To: Random SQL Slowness once a month

    I'd be checking your maintenance schedules.  Things like statistics updates, index rebuilds, index reorganizations, etc.  Or an absolute worst case - flushing any caches.

    I personally don't use R or Python in SQL Server, but my understanding is that both of these have great analytics and graphing libraries in them.

  • Reply To: What are the top 10 things a Sr DBA should know?

  • Reply To: The found version is '2017'. The expected version is '173'
