    What do you need me to explain? The index is redundant, it's a subset of an existing index

    So you mean to say here that another ( single...

    Doesn't sound like bad plans then, or at least not the type that can be fixed with a recompile. Considered gettign a consultant in?

  • RE: Session id XX on Adventureworks is using 225.6 MB of space in tempdb. on IXXXXXSQL01

    DBA should be focused on fixing or preventing problems. So, is the TempDB usage a problem?

    Honestly, I would doubt it. As far as I know, the traceflag was documented because it was used in a TPC benchmark, and they require that all options be documented....

  • RE: Slow package with ASYNC_NETWORK_IO wait, despite all datasources on local server

    Async network IO, despite it's name, seldom has anything to do with network. It's a wait mainly from the client being slow to accept the resultset

    Nothing probably.

    Is 200 MB of TempDB usage a problem? Is it excessive? Is it unusual?

  • RE: How to increase indexes performance for fast queries results

    No need to rebuild nonclustered indexes after creating a clustered index. The nonclustered indexes will all be rebuild automatically when a clustered index is created or dropped

  • RE: Large page support, Lock pages in memory

    That would require that the largest portion of contiguous memory available is under 512 MB. If that's the case, I suspect there's more of a problem than just SQL Server...

    I don't recommend enabling large pages, it can have some effects at startup and it doesn't usually help much, if at all

    Yes. Statistics updates have no effect whatsoever on the structure, density, fragmentation or layout of an index.

    structure and layout of index i can understand but how come...

  • RE: Index Usage

    Low page density from fragmentation or deletes.

    p.s. The smaller index is redundant, it's unlikely to be needed.

    Yeah, that helps.

    Now what, exactly do you want to see returned from that set of data (list rows and columns)

  • RE: help with difficult situation

    For the data listed there, what should the results be?

    Also, any chance you can post create table statements and the sample data as inserts (easier to use)?
