  • RE: Advice: Which certifcation to go for, after 70-431 ?

    The only upgrades are from the SQL 2005 ITP. If you don't have that, you'll be starting over with the 2008 exams.

  • RE: How to design filegroups for large database

    So you are definitely bottlenecked on IO? Is the IO performance more important than the availability? I ask because the general design of the filegroups (which tables go where) is...

  • RE: Log shipping restore error

    Oh, and do some root cause analysis on why the DB went suspect. That's not a normal or expected occurrence, likely means some IO problems somewhere.

  • RE: Indexing and Statistics Advice

    Disabling is easier because you can just rebuild the index afterwards and don't need to worry about the definition (ALTER INDEX <index name> REBUILD). If you drop it, you'll need...

  • RE: Indexing and Statistics Advice

    Drop or disable the indexes before, rebuild them after. First though check that they are necessary. DTA is very prone to over-recommending.

  • RE: Log shipping restore error

    Drop the database and restore a full backup. The database has been marked suspect and no logs restores will work

  • RE: How to design filegroups for large database

    The first question is what is your goal?

    Are you splitting the database for performance reasons and, if so, have you checked and ensured that you really are bottlenecked on IO?

    Are...

  • RE: Restoring corrupted backup

    If continue after error doesn't help, then the backup is completely unrestorable. You'll have to ask for a fresh backup of the DB.

    The 2005 exams have been retired, you won't be able to write them any longer. I suggest start with the 2008 ones

  • RE: Server Performance

    It can if the IO subsystem can't handle the load of the queries plus the backups, but that's the only way it could.

  • RE: Noob question on an if..then statement

    67 did the following, in sequence:

    Assign message

    execute xp

    Assign message

    execute xp

    print before

    print error number

    print no error

    print after

    Looks like 3 separate executions, 2 with errors, one without.
