  • RE: Best Practices in an Adhoc Environment

    I would add that stored procedure names should not start with sp_ because SQL Server will search the MASTER database for the stored procedure first and then the user database....

  • RE: Whats wrong with these indices?

    It looks like you are creating two indices on the SID column of your tables.

    To compound it, one is the primary key and the other is a unique index.

    CREATE TABLE...

  • RE: updating multiple rows in one shot

    quote:


    UPDATE a

    SET a = b.a,

    b = b.b,

    c = b.c,

    d = b.d

    FROM a,b

    WHERE a.id = b.id


  • RE: Use of Cursors

    In short, SQL Server works best with sets of data rather than at an individual record level so in most cases eliminating cursors will yield a performance boost.

    Cursors are there...

  • RE: Need to break large text field into rows

    I'm not sure if this helps because it loops through your table and your data within a stored procedure.

    
    
    CREATE PROC usp_SplitMyBigText AS

    SET NOCOUNT ON

  • RE: SQL Server Security: Fixed Database Roles

    Nice summary.

    This got...

  • RE: text -> ntext causes massive size increase...

    Is it purely your text fields or have you converted varchar to nvarchar, char to nchar etc?

    If you used nchar and nvarchar then not only does the base data take...

  • RE: Backup cannot be performed on this DB

    I got caught on this one as well.

    If a database is in "simple" recovery mode then the transaction log backup portion of the maintenance plan will fail.

  • RE: add new user with rights using TSQL

    Assuming that you have set up your logins set up then to add them into the database you would use:

    exec sp_grantdbaccess 'the login','the username in the db'

    exec sp_addrolemember 'db_datareader','the username...

  • RE: Stored procedure help needed.

  • RE: Is Windows 2003 Really Faster?

    Are there any updates on this?

  • RE: Make Sql server as secure as possible

    We tend to keep our IIS Servers on separate boxes to SQL Server.

    We remove PUBLIC permissions to virtually all the stored procedures in the MASTER database because by default any...

  • RE: QOD 11/25

    I wouldn't have put it at 3 points and yes and extent was/is 8 contigious pages in SQL.

    When I moved from SQL6.5 through 7 to 2000 I must admit that...

  • RE: OT: Sybase Equivelant to MS SQL TOP?

    You have to do

    SET ROWOCOUNT 5

    SELECT ...etc

    Primitive

    There is a hell of a lot that Sybase doesn't seem to do. DBCC SHOWCONTIG, DBCC DBREINDEX etc.

    I've been trying to find out...

  • RE: QOD 11/25
