  • RE: backup for system database

    Strategy is simple - regular full backups so that when/if something happens, you don't have to recreate your logins, permissions, settings, jobs, SSIS packages, job history, backup history from scratch.

    See here for Microsoft's guide to enabling it.

    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173743(v=sql.90).aspx

    IntelliSense is not implemented for Transact-SQL editors.

  • RE: Inteligence tool in MSSQL 2005

    Buy SQL Prompt from RedGate.

    SQL 2008 intellisense isn't available in SQL 2005, and only works for SQL 2008 SSMS if working against a SQL 2008 server.

  • RE: Severe Performance Problem

    SAN? Has the SAN admin changed anything? Is the switch dedicated or shared? If shared, it is overutilised?

    Are you sure nothing changed on the hardware?
