  • RE: DB backup single user mode

    Thought it was valid on backup database. Ok, so you'll need to take the last of the log backups with norecovery then

  • RE: rebuild on clustered index

    Rebuilding a clustered index is basically a drop/create and resets the internal additional RIDs for the index rows on the clustered, forcing all non-clustered indexes to be...

  • RE: Using ::fn_dblog() to find who deleted the rows in a table.

    Nope.

    The transaction log is not an audit log, it is not important for database recovery or transaction rollbacks what login did the operation, that information is not included...

  • RE: DB backup single user mode

    Don't do it that way. When you want to take the last backup, run backup database with norecovery (or backup log with norecovery), that'll switch DB into restoring, allow no...

    That's a .Net error message, it's your client app that's run out of memory, not the server, not SQL.

    Most likely the plan is complex and the client is low on...

    Restore from backup.

  • RE: Full backup not emptying transaction log

    If you're not taking log backups for point-in-time restore capability, why is the DB in full recovery model in the first place?

  • RE: Wait Types concern

    You are not giving enough information to help solve the problem.

    I suggest you get a copy of the book 'troubleshooting SQL Server' and work through chapter 1.

    Go have a look on my blog for a post titled something like 'statistics and the ascending datetime column' (google's the easiest way.

  • RE: avg disk queue length - how do i know how many disks i have? & their raid config.

    Ignore avg disk queue length 'thresholds' completely. It's extremely hard to interpret with all that's between a server and its disks these days. Trend it, look for changes from normal...

    No where near enough information. Identify the queries with excessive wait times and investigate the cause.

    It's your server, you're the one who can tell if that's normal for your server.

    If you feel that's excessive for your server, or you want to reduce it, investigate what's...

  • RE: memory

    AWE no. Locked pages, requires a service restart. If the /PAE switch is not in boot.ini already, that requires a reboot.

    32-bit only, on 64 neither PAE nor AWE is relevant.
