    Markus (3/2/2012)


    The one big difference is the cost will go up based on cores.

    That depends on the number of cores. They priced it so that if each proc has...

  • RE: xp_sendmail not sending @message text

    That's probably what did it for us. I found out that they did some mailbox moves this week and the account is currently on the new server. The...

  • RE: xp_sendmail not sending @message text

    I'm running into this too. In my case it's an existing process on a SQL 2000 SP4 box that started erroring sending mail (no error messages that appear useful)....

  • RE: The Success Trap

    My last job was a DBA Developer job in which I didn't get to do much administration work. Between DB escalations from clients and reading and researching things I...

  • RE: Indexed Views

    Hugo Kornelis (2/10/2012)


    If you use an index hint without NOEXPAND, I'm not sure what would happen. It might depend on the edition, but I have no time to test this...

  • RE: Encryption in Production

    Jack Corbett (2/10/2012)


    I haven't used TDE or really any encryption in SQL Server. I prefer to have column level encryption done at the application level. I...

    I hate questions where I have to second-guess the author. Did the author mean that the optimizer would choose to use the indexed view automatically? Or did...

    KWymore (2/1/2012)


    Hopefully this experience has not dissuaded the QoTD author from submitting further questions.

    Christoph Muthmann (1/31/2012)


    Nice article, but I'm missing a hint to adhoc queries and their influence on the proc cache. You can save a lot of memory by using the...
