  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    Awesome.

    I suspect my attempt at an article on bad management met an early grave. Think I'll stick to tech from now on.

    How can you do an index defrag of a log shipping secondary? It's read-only at best. Or do you mean index rebuild on the primary and log shipping copied that...

    SQLIOSIM is the tool to use to validate that an IO subsystem will properly handle SQL Server IO-style workloads.

  • RE: Commit - rollback

    @@Error checks for the error status of the last statement run. In this case EXEC SP5. Any errors thrown by any other procedure is ignored.

    [ID] ASC,

    [DRNo] ASC,

    [CustNo] ASC

    )

    It has the...
