    Thanks for the question.

    Any time you see checkboxes...

  • RE: Page Compression in Heaps

    Heaps are interesting. I've had Microsoft techs say they're coding mainly with clustered indexes in mind so we're likely to see more things like this with heaps.

  • RE: Hardware Hacking

    majorbloodnock (8/9/2011)


    Another thought. You're suggesting that the US require that chip manufacturers divulge their plans and plants to the government. What if they don't? Would they be shut down? If...

    Preethiviraj Kulasingham (8/3/2011)


    Other option is to create new database and set the collation for each language we adopt.

  • RE: Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'No ' to data type int.

    Ninja's_RGR'us (8/2/2011)


    Converting int to varchar might force the server to do index scans rather than seek. This is far from optimal.

    Indeed. But if the DDL can't be modified...

  • RE: Conversion failed when converting the varchar value 'No ' to data type int.

    Chances are you're doing an implicit conversion. Make it an explicit conversion taking the column that's an int and make it a varchar. If you need more help...

  • RE: DBCC INDEXDEFRAG

    sjimmo (8/2/2011)
