  • RE: SQL SERVER 2008 Express R2 for MAC OS

    No. SQL works on Windows only. If you want to use SQLon a mac, you need some dual boot or virtualisation that lets you run the windows operating system.

  • RE: View is not ordered. Why?

    The isolation levels are trade-offs. Isolation and consistency vs concurrency. Pick the one that you need for your system. Read committed is usually a decent default, but it does depend.

    I feel a bit ignorant now... :blush:

    Not intended, sorry. Back in those days I was quite into hardware and read a lot up on the processor architectures.

  • RE: Difference between 'hash match/inner join' and 'nested loops/inner join' in execution query plan?

    I suppose the important thing here is why the mismatch in row estimates.

    Can you maybe start a new thread and post the query in question and the execution plan please?

  • RE: View is not ordered. Why?

    1) Parallelism

    2) Allocation order scan with a fragmented index.

    3) Advanced scan (merry go round). This one's hard and I've never personally been able to repo it.
