  • RE: view is not being refreshed !

    I had a friend who said he would sooner see a bad idea implemented well than a good idea implemented badly.

  • RE: Mdac 2.6 or Mdac 2.7?

    Versions of MDAC after 2.5 loose the ADSI and LDAP features

  • RE: Mdac 2.6 or Mdac 2.7?

    One of our developers complains that a lot of stuff got taken out of MDAC 2.6. Unfortunately he is on leave so I can't elaborate.

    If you are running MS...

  • RE: view is not being refreshed !

    I think this also illustrates why it is important to keep scripts of your database objects.

    OK you can go in and add then remove a space from your view/stored proc...

  • RE: view is not being refreshed !

    I've had the same problem. As far as I can see sp_recompile does absolutely nothing.

    I've tried

    • sp_recompile <<the changed table>>
    • sp_recompile <<the dependent view>>
    • sp_recompile <<the...
  • RE: Truth about Oracle and MSSQL...Help needed

    As a cynic I would say that tech support for SQL Server is

    • Books on line
    • SQL Server Central
    • MSDN

  • RE: Creating Your Dream Project

    Read Dale Carnegie's "How to win friends and influence people". It may be 70 years old but he said virtually all this back in the 1930's.

  • RE: What is the search order for Procedures prefixed sp_?

    Interesting

    ..and of course simply bunging in another processor adds to your licensing costs, never mind the cost of RAM, disk and tapes.

  • RE: Worst Practice - Not Having An Archive Plan For Each Table

    Great Andy,

    There is an issue here of "who owns the data".

    Your particular example is something that can be decided by the IT department as it is their own internal logging...

  • RE: tempdb recommended size?

    Its a bit of a "how long is a piece of string" question but on your systems how big is your TempDB?

    The largest I have seen is 2Gb on a...

  • RE: tempdb recommended size?

    Given that TempDB is recreated every time SQL Server is restarted do you think there is any merit in moving it off a RAID onto a fast local disk.

    I'm considering...

  • RE: Why Secure the Database?

    It just goes to show that the biggest security risk isn't some spotty onanite in a bedroom, its your own staff or recent ex-staff.

    This harks back to the Windows Authentication...

  • RE: Alternatives to SQL Backups

    The thought of having users who can update data using SQL statements scares me.

    I don't mind them doing selects but I have serious issues with non-user interface updates of data.

  • RE: Conflicting Instructions

    My favourite is the ommission of the

    'sync with backup' option for the sp_replicationdboption stored procedure.
