    Awesome info.

    You guys should really get together and write books or talk @ PASS sometimes :hehe:.

  • RE: Resource db in SQL Server 2005

    It's not.

    Just bear in mind that you don't know what is wrong. It may be something trivial, it may be something that brings the system down tomorrow.

  • RE: Msg 0, Level 11, State 0, Line 0 when I reog indexes

    You need to do a checkDB on that. If not on the live DB then on a restored copy. This is not a luxury, nice-to-have, it's something you must do...

  • RE: release unused diskspace function

    Why are you shrinking?

    Why are you shrinking as small as possible? Do that and the next thing that will happen is for the log to grow. That'll slow everything down.

    p.s....

  • RE: backup and restore
