    The upgrade error message worries me....

  • RE: suspect database after san failure

    That's not how they'd appear in the log (msg number would be folowed by the message itself), but I suppose good enough.

  • RE: cluster index or non cluster index

    Normally when driving along, if there's been a nasty accident I just drive past (as long as I can't do anything to help) - I don't 'rubberneck' and slow...

  • RE: suspect database after san failure

    Upgrade? Please don't tell me that you're trying to attach this to a different version of SQL to what it was originally attached.

    Why the hell not? How can you, as the DBA, possibly justify having no backups of a...

  • RE: suspect database after san failure
