  • RE: avg disk queue length

  • RE: After SQL 2005 Upgrade my SQL Version is still 8.0

    Are you sure you're connecting to the right instance?

    Did you do an in-place upgrade or did you install SQL 2005 alongside SQL 2000?

  • RE: Tempdb log not freeing up space in SQL 2000 SP4

    Monitor SQLPerf(LogSpace). That will give you a view of used space.

    If it keeps growing check open transactions (while it's growing) and see if a checkpoint helps.

    Edit: Additionally, check DBCC...

  • RE: How to resolve deadlock for MSSQL 2008

    Ninja's_RGR'us (9/21/2011)


    Deadlock is mostly caused by bad code, that just doesn't fix itself with more ram.

    Poor indexing's the other main cause.
