  • RE: rash of QL2300 error

    Honestly I don't have a clue what you're asking. If you want some useful help, I think you're going...

  • RE: Error code:8152

    Are you seeing this in the job history as an error from a specific job? If so, check what that job is doing.

  • RE: How to truncate log file in SQL Server 2005

    Once that's done, shrink the log to a reasonable size (NOT 1). Maybe start at 10 or 15 GB (as a rough guess)

  • RE: Effects of shrink the database in SQL Server 2005

    Why do you want to shrink? Databases tend to grow as more data gets put in them. It's in their nature.

    But the problem is the company does NOT allow to run the profiler due to some policies.

  • RE: Update stats error

    Eh?

    I don't know what you're asking, what the context is or anything. If you want help you're going to have to give a fair bit more information about the problem.

    Please post the definition of that function.

    The reason that SQL caches plans is simple. Optimisation is a hard, difficult, CPU-intensive process. It's getting more and more CPU intensive as...
