    I never said anything about the definition of expensive. In fact, I used the word only to give an idea of what a query cost is

  • RE: sql server SP2 or SP3 will not apply

    What's the file name of the patch? What's the exact version of SQL Server on that machine (SELECT @@Version)?

    Are there multiple instances on that server?

  • RE: Effort estimation in upgrading SQL Server 2008 to SQL Server 2014

    Depends how long a backup/restore takes, but

    Last upgrade I did, three servers, the entire list of things you have there took less than 6 hours.

    And that was about a 120GB...

    Gail, does it have to do with things like parallel processing? Much higher CPU cost to get faster throughput?

  • RE: Effort estimation in upgrading SQL Server 2008 to SQL Server 2014

    You've got no testing phase, no time allocated to fix issues found. Upgrading to 2014 or beyond WILL have things that need fixing, due to the change to the cardinality...

  • RE: Effort estimation in upgrading SQL Server 2008 to SQL Server 2014

    It'll depend on how many things need fixing, anything from no effort to months of work.

    Plan for a two-phase project. Test the system on SQL 2014, take note of...

  • RE: Cardinality Estimation for >= / > for intra step statistics value

  • RE: Relationship of Operator cost and execution time

  • RE: How to get free space inside my data files??
