  • RE: Deleted .mdf, .ldf, and .ndf file

    Since it's an important database, wouldn't it have a backup?

  • RE: How many of you have done Certification for SQL Server?

    Lynn Pettis (3/3/2010)


    IIRC, Microsofts certs now expire after 3 years.

    They don't expire. There was a plan for that to happen, but didn't become reality. They are retired and become...

    Does anyone have time to go into detail on this one?

    Yeah, that's due to the incorrect results bug I mentioned. The functionality was removed quite early, pre SP1. I have demoed this on 2008 RTM and there's a very obvious...

  • RE: IS SQL SERVER 2005 SUPPORT INCREMENTAL BACKUP

    dbychen (3/3/2010)


    Yes, it does. This type of backup is differential backup.

    Incremental = changes since last backup (full,...

    I don't disagree that it's difficult given SQL's architecture, but in this case (and it's not an unusual case) you're better off if plans aren't reused at all.
