  • Reply To: Do We Care About Disks?

    For me, I don't manage the hardware side of things, so I care less about the hardware and actually have very little say in what hardware I get.  It is...

    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: when insert rows it take too much time for 0 rows inserted so why and How to sol

    To me it looks like your statistics are out of date.  Your estimates are WAY off from the actuals which usually indicates bad statistics.

    I would start there.

  • Reply To: Query to fetch top SQL statements

    I agree with both Phil and Michael.  Phil's comment about query store sounds like it is similar to Oracle's AWR.  Or so is my my understanding of query store.

    And Michael...

    My opinion - I wouldn't reinvent the wheel.  There are a LOT of good monitoring tools out there and I would just use one of those.

    Script debugging is always interesting.  The "best" (ie only) way I know how to do it is to find good breakpoints and run your code up until that breakpoint.  Next,...

  • Reply To: SSRS Migration

    I think I can answer both questions, but I would still recommend doing it in a test environment first.

    So question 1 - my understanding is that SSRS hasn't had any...

    That makes sense as the fingerprint is the fingerprint of the remote server.

    I would recommend looking at some of the example scripts on the WinSCP site.  This one specifically should...
