  • RE: Estimated Execution plan and getdate() in the where clause ??

    No, it's not automatically a bad idea, and the variable may or may not give any better estimates.

    It has to do with parameter sniffing and the ability of the optimiser...

    Then you're going to have to sit and debug the network connectivity. It's probably closed ports on a firewall or similar, which is why it's going to need a local...

    Speak to your network admin, or whoever set the VPN up. It's not something that random people on the internet are going to be able to fix for you.

    2. Check the location of the tempdb files

    Use master

  • RE: Enquiry on Logshipping

    Yup, entirely possible. Rolling upgrades like you describe are the only time that log shipping (or mirroring) is supported across versions.

    Unfortunately the application that connects to the database does not support clustered indexes. This is a vendor supplied database.

  • RE: Forwarded records

    Yes, it's expensive (it's re-writing the entire table), no, it's not online.

    Why don't you create a clustered index on the table, then you don't have to worry about forwarded records?

  • RE: Need help on Sorting...

    This looks like Oracle code.

    While some people do know Oracle, this is a SQL Server forum (as in Microsoft SQL Server), and that's what most answers will be written for.
