  • Reply To: Strange Deadlock Graph showing multiple DB but isolated

    To add to what everyone else said, I would not be surprised if it isn't 2 isolated databases involved. What is MORE likely is that a view on database A...

    As with all advice you find on a random internet forum - you shouldn't blindly follow it.  Always test on a test server to see if there is negative side effects before making changes to live!
    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.

  • Reply To: How can we enhance statistics information collection

    Not essentially a "speed it up" thing, but could you refresh a test instance and run that on the test instance? I am wondering if MAYBE the slowness is due...

  • Reply To: very slow performance using WHERE on Oracle linked server

    I agree with Frederico_fonsca here - OPENQUERY is going to give you the best performance as the query runs fully on the remote side. IF you are doing it in...

  • Reply To: Adding a SQL connection to Microsoft Visual Studio

    Can you connect using other tools? The error tells you what is wrong though - Visual studio can't see the server. If I had to guess, I would say firewall,...

  • Reply To: Eliminating CSV Conversion Step

    To add to what Frederico_fonseca said, we don't even know what tool you are importing the data to/from. You say "ETL", but is this SSIS? I think so, but not...

  • Reply To: Opening an SSIS package created in 2016 with a later version of Visual Studio

    As far as I am aware, you can make the SSIS package in newer versions of VS, you just can't deploy IF the version is too new.
