  • RE: selecting TOP row from a result set

    Ok, so the 'first' row is the one with the lowest Area?

    If so, try this.

    ,CityName

    ,ACCOUNT_NO

    ,CUSTOMER_NAME

    ,CounterNo

  • RE: DBCC CHECKDB FAILED

    Fortunately the damage here is all in a nonclustered index and hence completely repairable.

    Drop the index IDX_MYTABLE1_2 on MYTABLE1 and recreate it. Do not rebuild it, that may fail due...

  • RE: SNAPSHOT Replication Preventing Log Truncation on Full RecoveryModel

    Can you uncheck the checkbox under publication properties?

    If not (or if it doesn't change the output of DBCC opentran), please try this.

    Create a transactional replication publication.

    Add a single table as...

    Can you check and confirm that there is absolutely no transactional replication in that database?
