  • RE: Point of rebuilding the database

    MarvinTheAndriod (10/18/2011)

    Lowell (10/18/2011)


    i ran mine on SQL 2005/2008; the views may report different results between versions, i guess.

    SQLDCH (10/18/2011)

    I pretty much started it and you are right. It was unprofessional.

    That said, it was a little ironic, and it's something I keep seeing here, twitter and SQLTeam....
