  • RE: restoring a backup from sql server 2008 to 2005

    Same reason. R2 is a different version, it has a different internal database version and hence cannot be downgraded. It is not a service pack.

    The join in where clause is an older style and is not much in favour any longer.

    GilaMonster (2/15/2011)


    In your example index 1 is redundant (the columns match exactly a left-based subset of another index), index 2 is not.

    Wouldn't index 1 be used if a query...

  • RE: Primary filegroup is full can't sync SQL 2005

    The size cap on express is per database, not per filegroup, so if that's what you're running into, another filegroup won't help at all.

    If that is what you're running into,...

    Since you have the transaction log backups scheduled to run on the hour, the forty minutes after the last log file is lost.

    Not necessarily. Depending on what's...

  • RE: Restore of DB without the empty space bloat

    Restore will recreate the database exactly as it was at the time of the backup. Free space and database file size included.

  • RE: database crash

    GilaMonster (2/15/2011)


    Before deciding on a method of recovery, we need the database state (state_desc from sys.databases) and all errors relating to the DB from the SQL error log.

    Why do you want it to go away? Have you identified the hash join as a major bottleneck?

    The backup is toast, get hold of a new one.

    There's nothing surprising about verify only succeeding and restore failing. Verify only does not guarantee that the backup is restorable, it...
