  • RE: Locking Perf Problem: Help Update/Insert WITH table_hints

    Jeff Moden (6/13/2009)


    Heh... I've found that many concurrency issues simply vanish in the presence of high speed code.

  • RE: All index information

    Use sys.indexes instead of sysindexes and you can get the index type as well from the column type_desc. For the columns that comprise the index, join in sys.index_columns
