    SSIS can run procs in parallel, no problem.

    Or threading through PowerShell.

    Or async and parallel via Service Broker, if you're feeling very brave.

  • RE: can we restore master db of 2016 in sqlserver 2014

    The entire new index gets logged. The space does get released once the rebuild finishes, into the log file for reuse (because if that much space was required once, it'll...

  • RE: Usage stats of an index with included columns

    No it doesn't.

    Lookups are the number of key lookups done to that index, and it will only every be >0 on clustered indexes.

    Do you guys have any advice on how to improve my stats for my blog?

  • RE: How do we get a list of active queries that are running in the database.

    Query sys.dm_exec_requests, join to sys._dm_exec_connections and cross apply to sys.dm_exec_sql_text using the sql_handle column.
