  • RE: Script SS2000 Recovery model/last backup/etc help

    The sys.databases view is new on SQL 2005 and hence it won';t work. There may have been changes to the MSDB tables as well.

    Look up sysdatabases and DATABASEPROPERTYEX() for the...

  • RE: Check data in secondary files

    Query sys.allocation_units and sys.data_spaces, identify the affected indexes and create ... with drop existing on different filegroup.

  • RE: Check data in secondary files

    Then all tables in that filegroup would have been striped across all files.

    Shrinkfile with the Emptyfile option. Make sure there's enough space in the other files.

  • RE: Check data in secondary files

    Is each file in its own filegroup, or are they all in one filegroup, or something in between?

  • RE: Physical IO reads and writes on database using SQL query

    For an individual query - SET Statistics IO on

    Won't tell you writes. You'll need profiler for that, and those are logical writes (to memory)

    For the DB as a while, sys.dm_io_virtual_file_stats.

    Are you certain it's a deadlock not just a long-lasting blocking condition?

  • RE: Intellisence not working via SSMS2k8 on SQL 2k8 SP1

    Define 'not working'

    No intellisense at all? Not showing correct objects?

    Absolutely sure it's not a 2005 instance you're connected to?
