  • RE: Add Job History Manually..??

    While I belive you can insert into the job history tables (they're not system tables), it would probably be better if you created your own history tables for the packages.

    You need to do some performance tuning. It's not about log files, it's about the time the query takes to run. Identify the problematic queries and see if you can...

  • RE: Getting Timeout Expired erros when updating a single table

    Timeout is a client-side setting. The remote query timeout setting is for remote queries (across linked servers) and has no bearing at all on queries executed on that SQL Server.

  • RE: Tsql

    Looks like a severely corrupted file, and that's a very bad error.

    Can you describe the complete scenario and any errors that you're having.

  • RE: Introduction to Indexes: Part 2 – The clustered index

    ScottPletcher (7/6/2012)


    GilaMonster (7/6/2012)Every column added to a query invalidates the existing covering index and will revert back to a table scan.

    Not necessarily a table scan. Maybe a seek + lookup,...

    ScottPletcher (7/6/2012)


    An integer column defined as identity (a very good and popular choice for clustered index) is 4 bytes.

    It's certainly popular, but most often not good. The no-thought identity...

  • RE: SQL Server 2012 not accepting string data starting with numbers

    No, but you do need to put the strings in quotes.

    EXEC usp_addscandata 'PDC1AB', '11PVI000001', '18PART123456789011', NULL

    That's not a SQL 2012 thing, it's always been that way.

    However... suppose we have a large table (wide & long) that gets INSERTs and UPDATEs on non-indexed fields only.

    Would it make sense to 'force' it as a heap...

    yes, a reinstall of SQL Express will solve the issue, but that's a little extreme.

    What's in the SQL Server error log?

    Those errors are meaningless, to see why the service won't start, we need to see the actual errors, which are in the error log....
