    I did leave out the pool. I was thinking that your feet were in the blue, plastic, 6" wading pool sitting in front of...

  • RE: Auditing SQL Logins 24x7 - Profiler? SQLDiag??

    steve block (5/13/2010)


    I was looking at a server side trace to replace an interactive trace that I run from Profiler. I don't see an option to Save to a...

  • RE: Looking for Ideas / Topics for Bachelor Thesis

    70 pages is a fair bit. My entire Master's dissertation will probably only be around 70-80 pages.

    What interests you in databases, within the areas that the lecturer set? I ask,...

  • RE: Procedure Stats

    I'll see if I can repo it.

    If, however there is an ORDER BY, and SQL can use an index to retrieve the data ordered, it avoids a sort operation.

    As I understand the section in...

  • RE: log in audit in sql 2000/2005/2008

    There's no audit table by default.

    You'll need a server-side trace if you want this in SQL 2000 as well as 2005/2008.

  • RE: Procedure Stats

    Connect time I think. There's either a bug in the docs or in the code.

  • RE: dbcc shrinkfile time estimate

    How long is a piece of string?

    Seriously, there's no way, just from the size of the DB, to make any educated guess as to the time to shrink. Depends on...

  • RE: Procedure Stats

    rdouglas66 (5/13/2010)


    Wow, a reply from Gail I'm honoured

    Why?

    I've had a look at the counts on our main prod server and there are 28 (all returning 2 rows) out of...

  • RE: Automation of update to views?

    rschaeferhig (5/13/2010)


    I didn't know if anyone had a way to actually update the View_Definition (whereever it is stored) that you can read from Information_Schema.Views...

    Nope. System tables cannot be updated.

  • RE: ASSERTION , SUM(POSITION()) in SQL2005

    karthikeyan-444867 (5/13/2010)


    SELECT race,

    SUM(POSITION('male' IN sex) AS male_tally,

    SUM(SIGN(ABS(POSITION('female' in sex) AS female_tally

    FROM Personnel

    GROUP BY race;

    That's not SQL Server code. A very quick google search reveals that PostgreSQL supports that function.

  • RE: Procedure Stats

    Multiple statements within a procedure? Query stats works that way, I'll admit I've never used procedure_stats.

    Check one of the procedures that has multiple rows, see how many queries it has...

  • RE: suspect database after san failure

    Ok, so the DB is attached but suspect. Please run the following.

    ALTER DATABASE <database name> SET EMERGENCY

    Once you've done that, you should be able to access the DB, though it...

  • RE: Optimize query in 2005

    Full table definitions (the create table statement) and index definitions please (all indexes). See the article that Dave listed.

  • RE: suspect database after san failure

    I asked about the upgrade message. Is the SQL instance that you're trying to recover this with IDENTICAL to the version that this DB was attached to before the SAN...
