  • RE: Re: Transferring a SQL Server 2005 database to SQL Server 2000

  • RE: Add a column in system table(SQL_LOGIN)

    Besides, sys.sql_logins, sys.server_principals and syslogins aren't tables. They're views. The underlying tables are hidden and aren't even queryable.

  • RE: Full recovery model

    Absolutely it's necessary. In full recovery the transaction log does not get truncated except by a log backup. No log backups, no reuse of the log file, the log file...

    If I remember the Modeling class at the TDWI conference a couple of years ago, 6NF is used to eliminate nulls being stored in a database.
