  • RE: Cannot Kill Process stays in KILLED/ROLLBACK status

    GilaMonster (4/26/2012)


    You have to wait for it to finish.

    If you kill the process again it will show you the rollback completion % and estimated time.

  • RE: Convert to datetime from string

    The string "$(runDate)" is not a valid date. And that's not a function or anything, that's a literal string "$(runDate)"

    What are you trying to do?

    Also, this

    if 'TODAY' != upper ('$(runDate)')

  • RE: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1

    Look up CAST or CONVERT.

    btw, we prefer that new questions get asked in a new thread. Keeps things cleaner.

  • RE: Msg 156, Level 15, State 1

    Yup, that's the problem. There's a space missing between the end of the collation name and the word 'primary'

  • RE: The Transaction Log goes full during initial Snaphot

    The log reader doesn't copy transactions to the distributor's log. It copies them to the distributor database.

    That code runs fine and without any error on my SQL 2008 server. Sure it's that exact piece of code that's causing the error?

  • RE: Cannot Kill Process stays in KILLED/ROLLBACK status

    Wait. It's rolling back and has to finish the rollback. Don't restart SQL, that will just result in the rollback continuing after the restart, possibly with the database offline.

  • RE: MCITP Database Developer Upgrade Exam SQL 2005-2008

    All the cert exams for 2008 are around 3 hours long.

    Use the material for the non-upgrade exams for the cert you are looking for.
