  • RE: Restore from 2008 R2 to 2008 - Quick Question

    Don't script data. Not unless your DB's a few MB. Any more than that will kill SSMS.

    Script the objects, use bcp or SSIS for the data.

    No. You'll have to create a new file in a new filegroup, then shrink the one you want to remove with the EMPTYFILE option and then drop it. The move...

  • RE: Restore backup to earlier SQL2K build

    Just a note, when restoring across versions a backup will either restore correctly or it won't restore at all.

  • RE: choosing HA SQL 2008 R2 64bit?

    Synchronous mirroring (whether it's automatic or manual failover) can affect performance. Make sure that the network is adequate for the load and the mirror server is appropriately specced.

  • RE: choosing HA SQL 2008 R2 64bit?

    If automatic failover's required then your only option (of the ones listed) is mirroring. Replication provides neither a failover mechanism nor a fail back. Logshipping the failover is manual.

    No where near enough information.

    What's the RTO? What's the RPO? Is automatic failover required? How difficult can the fail-back process be? What edition do you have? etc...

    I have written some WHILE loops but they don't count.

    Why not? They're just about the same as cursors just without the syntax.
