  • RE: Business Intelligence - Name the three main tabs in the Visual Studio interface for SQL Server Integration Services Packages and the associated purpos

    Why? I'm sure you're just as capable as I am of opening visual studio and looking at the tabs.

  • RE: Issue in reducing index fragmentation

    Why do you want to shrink? Databases tend to grow as more data gets put in them. It's in their nature.

    And then he recommends a DBCC with REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS. Only as a completely last resort, say I discovered that my backups were corrupt (or worse, never done).

    And by dbcc I mean with “DBCC CHECKTABLE” REPAIR_REBUILD. If that did not complete successful after two or three times I would then use “REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS” option.
