  • RE: Poor database design

    Are those tables heaps or clusters?

    What's logical fragmentation? forwarding pointers? avg page space used? at the point that you need to do a 'rebuild'?

    What version of SQL are you using?...

  • RE: Table Design -> DataTypes for identifier values

    Sounds like you're storing two things in one table, if you have entities and versions in the same table, maybe worth considering a split.

  • RE: Indexed Computed Column Not Used to Perform Seek

    Starting to look like a bug, especially since it works as expected on SQL 2005. Let me get some additional opinions....

    Odd, when the index is forced, it seeks, but does key lookups.

    Try including SystemID and Reference in that index. They should not be necessary, but somehow it appears...

    Odd. What happens if you force the index (index hint)?

    What editions of SQL?

  • RE: How to corrupt table?

    ModestyBlaise84 (3/29/2011)


    I believe that a good backup/restore and DR strategy is the only way to protect from damage caused by corruption. Full stop.

    You would be correct there.

    However, I am quite...

  • RE: Indexed Computed Column Not Used to Perform Seek

    Post the plan please?

    Index scan or clustered index scan? If the latter, indicative that the predicate is not sufficiently selective and the index is not covering.

    Don't use the select into db option, it's been deprecated since SQL 2000. The replacement is to set the recovery model, in this case to bulk-logged recovery and back to...

  • RE: How to read Log file in Sql Server

    steveb. (3/29/2011)


    you may be better off getting a log-reader from a third-party like red-gate.

    Redgate's one is only for SQL 2000. For 2008, Apex SQL Log ($1000)
