  • RE: when

    No. Watch the news articles, it'll be announced when it happens.

    Typically anyone who knows in advance isn't allowed to say anything.

    Why?

    In general this is a really bad thing to do. Suspended means that the session is waiting for something, and you only mention how long the session has been...

  • RE: Perfmon with SQL Server multiple instances

    The SQL Server objects are named for the instance name. They'll be something like MSSQL$InstanceOne/Memory Manager

  • RE: Zip compressed backup

    Eirikur Eiriksson (4/5/2016)


    Further on John's replay, hardly worth zipping the compressed backups unless one is applying encryption in the process.

    On SQL 2014, rather encrypt the backup natively, as it's taken.

    You need to identify the slow queries and fix them. No silver bullets here, no magic solutions. Most performance problems are bad code and/or bad indexes (usually both)

  • RE: Seeking advice on upgrade - SQL 2014 vs SQL 2016

    I'd recommend 2016. We're at RC2 at this point, gut feel we'll see RTM late this month, maybe next month.

  • RE: Trouble Truncating Table Referenced by Forien Key

    Read Your Error Messages!

    The DELETE statement conflicted with the REFERENCE constraint "FK_ContractorCoverage_Postal_CountyRegion". The conflict occurred in database "PrData", table "dbo.ContractorCoverage", column 'CountyRegionID'.

  • RE: Transaction replication error @2008 R2 PROD

    Yup. Create the publication, then take the backup. You don't need diff or log backups for replication, just a full backup taken after the publication was created.
