  • RE: Query optimization for correlated query in sql server 2005

    Please post query, table definitions, index definitions and execution plan, as per http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/SQLServerCentral/66909/

  • RE: How can i recover my table

    You can't. SQL only allows for full, filegroup or file-based restores, not object-level restores. For object restores you need a 3rd party tool, like the ones mentioned above.

  • RE: Allocate memory to SELECT statement in sql server 2005

    On 2005 you're pretty much limited to a SQL Trace (server-side trace) or triggers. Triggers if you only want to capture data changes, trace if you want the exact script...

  • RE: Can we perform Index Reorganize and Index Rebuild as non-logged operations?

    There's no such thing as a non-logged operation in SQL Server. All data modifications are logged.

    In bulk logged and simple recovery, index rebuilds are minimally logged, index reorganise is still...

    Someone mentioned that shrinking the datafiles is one of the tasks that is performed with a Full backup. Our databases use Full Backup but this doesn't sound right to...

    I would hate to see how big the tran log reaches with an entire month's transactions in it.

    Seriously, once a month is a really bad idea. The log will be...

    AndrewSQLDBA (1/11/2011)


    Sorry, that did not work.

    Can you be a bit more specific? Did it throw an error and if so what error? Something else?

    Can you post the backup command that...
