    Pencil and paper (or marker and whiteboard).

    Personally, I prefer using Grant

    For the first one

    SELECT name FROM sysobjects WHERE id = 324208951

    Of course, if there's any metadata damage, the table may not be identifiable.

  • RE: Difference between #temp temporary tables and @temp table variables

    Apparently, SQL will use memory instead when it can. If so, that's an intelligent design since of course writing to disk is slower than using memory.

  • RE: Contention between TRUNCATE/INSERT and SELECT WITH (NOLOCK)?

    My guess, you're seeing Sch-M/Sch-S deadlock. Everything takes a schema stability (nolock or no nolock), and truncate table is classified a DDL and I believe that it wants a Sch-M...

    If the poster said that, I don't blame you for slapping down. The question is, how diplomatic were you?

    Wouldn't the security log give that information?

    It might, though depending what else is on the box there may be too much noise in there to make sense.
