  • RE: (new) Kill ALL Connections To a SQL Database

    mannaggia (2/15/2011)


    I just do this:

    ALTER DATABASE dbname

    SET SINGLE_USER WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE

    GO

    ALTER DATABASE dbname

    SET MULTI_USER

    GO

    Any advantage or disadvantage over the script?

  • RE: Data Quality

    What I like are the realestate websites where you can see actual floor plans or recorded video allowing a virtual tour. A picture is worth a 1,000 data items.

  • RE: Data Quality

    The problem is that 3rd party websites that aggregate listings from multiple sources can't be too choosy about their data, because they have no control over the data entry etiquette...

  • RE: A Variety of Interpretations

    Regarding different types of database automation, I like referential integrity and check constaints, because it automatically rejects bad data at the point of insertion. Otherwise, the developer or DBA has...

    Participating in forums like SSC is for database professionals what weightlifting and practice drills are for professional fire fighters. If you're fighting fires every day, then something is seriously wrong,...

    Regarding job descriptions with too many technical requirements and resumes full of bogus experience, in many cases it's the result of a 3rd party recruiter acting as an intermediary and...

  • RE: Best code for generating sequence numbers

    The forthcoming version of SQL Server, codenamed "Denali" will have a sequence type object that functions similar to Oracle's sequence. However, just like an identity, it can also result in...

  • RE: I lied, now what?

    I think it's common (not right but simply common) for IT people to fudge the truth on their resume or during job interviews. For example, someone who has a solid...

  • RE: Hybrid Hires

    Mammals survived the Cretaceous asteriod impact because they were warm blooded, able to immediately adapt to both warm or cold environments. That, plus the fact that they were omnivores, feeding...

  • RE: Hybrid Hires

    The org chart says I'm a database developer, but on a normal day I spend more time writing ad-hoc SQL queries and researching data issues than I do writing T-SQL...

  • RE: It's Almost Always the Humans

    Regarding the issue of data breaches, I'm not much concerned about outsourcing customer service as I would be oursourcing the hosting of applications or databases. If a customer service rep...

    TheSQLGuru (1/28/2011)


    The BEST way to manage LINKED SERVERS is to never use them at all! They do LOTS of unfortunate things. The way to avoid them is to...
