  • RE: Strange Session Behaviour - so far cannot explain it!!

    If the commit was reached then the transaction is durable and the effects are persistant. Sure there's absolutely no way that the transaction may not have committed (nested transaction you...

    Did the transaction commit? A session can be sleeping (awaiting command) with an open transaction. If the transaction doesn't commit, SQL will roll it back on restart, disconnect or restore.

  • RE: Creating Index taking huge storage

    Make sure there's enough space available. There's no way to build an index when you don't have enough space to put it.
