    The Oops.txt file is EMPTY???? (At least Windows Explorer shows it to be 0 bytes, so this is consistent.)

  • RE: Trace File Naming Convention

    You cannot make any changes to the default trace. You can't change the name of the files, number of files, size of files or events in any way.

  • RE: Need to change time on SQL server, how will this affect transactions?

    Unless there's something in your SQL code that's time-dependant (do check), it won't have any effect.

    PaulB-TheOneAndOnly (9/19/2011)


    As a rule of thumbs, your partitioning strategy should help either Performance or Archiving/Purging - if your strategy doesn't help at least one of those processes forget about partitioning.

    Both 1 and 2 have the same answer: 'It depends'

  • RE: How to get the deleted records

    If the database is in full recovery, you can buy Apex SQL Log (~ $1000). If the DB is in simple recovery, the log records may have been overwritten already.

    For some general silliness...

    CREATE DATABASE [Oops]

    ON PRIMARY (

    NAME = N'Oops', FILENAME = N'D:\Develop\Databases\Oops.txt:Data'

    )

    LOG ON (

    NAME = N'Oops_log', FILENAME = N'D:\Develop\Databases\Oops.txt:Log'
