  • RE: Errors showing in CheckDB after a failed update statistics job

    I don't know what LiveState Recovery is, but if it's a file mirroring app, those generally don't play nice with SQL Server and often the mirrored copies aren't usable.

    There's no one single way to coy the DB. I'd say anything that gets the data into a new DB is perfectly acceptable.

    It's not in NA either. Our current lead isn't a SQL person, and also has some development area MVPs. I've had, I believe 4 leads, only...

    2008 R2 is predominantly a set of BI focused addons for SQL Server. There are virtually no changes to the database engine (I've counted 3, maybe 4). It's mostly scale...
