  • RE: Hoping someone can help with this

    My script should do exactly that (0, not false, SQL doesn't have a boolean datatype)

  • RE: Hoping someone can help with this

    Am I correct in saying you want to return true (1) if all the records for that order have a non-null condate, otherwise false (0)?

    If so:

    CREATE PROCEDURE sp_CheckConDate (

    @spOrderID int

    )

    AS

    BEGIN

  • RE: Which one is faster?

    The second can do an index seek, but probably the index is not covering and the query returns too many rows for the seek + key lookups to be efficient.

    Unfortunately, at server level the fill factor is set as default (=0). And I can't change it.........since it has been working since long time!

    More work, but you could also try spreading you index rebuilds out over time so your log backups do not become too large.

    Maybe. Depends on how...

    which mode will offer the overall improvement:

    Rec Model with "Full" or "Bulk-Logged" ?

    In terms of the size of log backup? Probably neither has an advantage over the other.
