  • Reply To: Setting Up SQL Server 2019 for Optimal Performance

    One thing about the CPU - a lot of SQL Server operations are single-threaded, so having a lot of cores may not benefit you.  There are exceptions (as queries can...

    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 99% agree with Grant (that is not one ugly dude).  In-person events get you so much more interaction and discussion than virtual.  Both from the presenter side and from...

    My opinion - this is the wrong site for that.  This is a SQL Server forum, not an SEO forum.

  • Reply To: Use Rows From Table as "Script to Run"

    Getting sp_executesql to work is pretty easy.

    DECLARE @sql NVARCHAR(MAX)
    SELECT @sql = '<insert dynamic SQL here>'
    EXEC sp_executesql @sql

    The only thing that makes your query a bit more tricky...

    I agree with Grant's first statement - that is asking for trouble and can be a scary practice... and if you read his signature, he is The Scary DBA!

    My opinion - test it out.

    Upgrading from 2008 R2 to 2019 MAY require upgrading your OS as well and, if I remember right, 2019 doesn't support 2008 compatibility  mode.
