  • RE: Legacy System Index Issues

    A uniqueidentifier isn't ideal for a clustered index (search term: fragmentation), but it's not all that likely that it's the root cause of the deadlocks.

    Stop using the 1204 traceflag, that's...

  • RE: Logical Reads x Buffer Pool Content

    Pages can be read multiple times. If a page is read 5 times during a query's processing, that's 5 logical reads.

    Index on foreign keys is a good place to start, but it may not be the best index to have. It's only really needed if rows in the parent table...

  • RE: How to troubleshoot sudden drop in Page Life Expectancy?

  • RE: Upgrading from SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2016

    Go to 16.

    Upgrading to SQL 2014 is the same work as upgrading to 16, and leaves you with an older version, fewer features and less time before it's out of...

  • RE: Upgrade SQL 2012 to 2014

    Clean installs are always preferred. Easier to revert back if anything goes wrong to start.

    On the 2012-2014 side, you MUST test before you do that upgrade. One of the changes...
