  • RE: BIDS download

    Open visual studio 8. New project and check the types of projects. BIDs in SQL 2005 is Visual studio 8, not visual studio 10.

    Maybe the shortcut's been deleted. Is it in the list of installed programs on your machine?

  • RE: BIDS download

    There is no error in that screen shot.

    If you mean the red X, that just means that feature is not currently installed and is not selected for installation.

  • RE: DML Triggers - 1 For All or All for 1?

    What error? There's no error on that screen.

    BIDS is set to install, so click next and go through the installation.

  • RE: Placing tempdb files on a diffrent drive.

    TempDB is on an SSD drive and you still have IO bottlenecks? What are you doing to it?

    What lead you to diagnose IO bottlenecks?

  • RE: Placing tempdb files on a diffrent drive.

    What's the RAID level of the drive that TempDB is currently on? What's it sharing with?

  • RE: Placing tempdb files on a diffrent drive.

  • RE: BIDS download

    Which edition of SQL? BIDs is not included in the free edition.

    If it's a paid edition, install and make sure that both 'Management tools' options are checked

  • RE: Difference between Physical & Logical instances

    No such thing as a physical or logical instance of SQL. Could be something unrelated. Why don't you ask the person that you heard it from?

    It'll be in the default trace if it was recent enough, otherwise no way without having had a DDL trigger present at time of creation.
