  • RE: Enterprise to Express??

    cfradenburg (7/22/2011)


    I could have sworn that there was a function you could run to see if any enterprise features are being used but I can't track it down.

    sys.dm_db_persisted_sku_features

  • RE: Enterprise to Express??

    As long as the DB doesn't use any persisted enterprise-only features (partitioning, compression) and is below the Express size limit, you can backup/restore.

    Thanks Gail, so what the best approach you suggest?

    Move the user and system databases where ever you like.

  • RE: how to move resource database

    Don't. Move it and SQL will break. In 2008 it has to be treated like any of the program dlls.

  • RE: Stored Procedure Statistics

    No. You can log deadlocks with an alert because a deadlock is an error message and alerts fire for errors. There's no error fired when a stored proc executes.

    Go read the docs then. There's lots of good cluster-related documentation (I know, I had to go searching when I first started working with clusters)

    Afraid not, I'm not all that familiar with clustering other than the theory, and how to do it depends on the version of windows.
