  • RE: Why there is a Limitations on Index size (900 Bytes)?

    SQL* (8/1/2012)


    GilaMonster (8/1/2012)


    Yes, all pages are 8kb in size.

    Limitation probably to keep the size of the index tree down. Wouldn't make any sense to have 8kb index key, the index...

  • RE: Backup and restoration

    Yes, of course it will. That's why we've been saying to restore full then latest diff then all logs since the diff.

  • RE: Backup and restoration

    You would restore Saturday's full backup, the Wednesday morning differential, then all log backups since the diff until the point of failure (so 10:30, 11:30, 12:30, 1:30, 2:30, 3:30, 4:30)

    They can, yes. It costs a little more than writing at Prometric, but if you don't have a local office it'll probably work out cheaper. Just make sure you have...

  • RE: SQL License and cores

    I am not a licensing expert. Do not take what I say as the absolute truth without verifying with MS licensing (preferably in writing so you have a record)

    You have to disable them in the BIOS, at least for SQL 2008. If the processor is visible to windows, it has to be licensed (SQL). That's the 2008 rules,...

    If your prometric candidate history says you've passed, then you've passed. MS does not mark the knowledge exams, prometric does so they will be the first to know.

  • RE: Importance Of ObjectId

    It's just an identifier value that's used throughout the system tables. Much like you might create a product table with a productID column and use the productID in related tables.
