  • RE: Finding out UnUsed/sleeping indexes by srihari nandamuri

    srihari nandamuri (1/26/2009)


    Take corrective action

    What kind of corrective action are you proposing?

    Dropping indexes that haven't been used since the last server start is not recommended, unless you're very...

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    P Jones (1/26/2009)


    I also get hot under the collar about bad spelling and grammar - I had a traditional English grammar school education

    Just bear in mind that not everyone...

  • RE: Backup transaction log file

    Has your job been doing full backups, or transaction log backups? In full recovery, you need both.

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    Steve Jones - Editor (1/25/2009)


    Personally I dislike labeling things bad and good, especially with code since it's a question of where and when things make sense.

    If you've read my blog...

  • RE: Maximum index size?

    David.Poole (1/26/2009)


    I've heard that if an index grows beyond a certain point SQL Server is unable to use it.

    May I ask where you heard that from?

    As far as I know,...

  • RE: Newbie:Why is select doing a table scan?

    Ed (1/26/2009)


    IX_sysValidationList is a unique, non-clustered index on the column, ValidationPartyID. Is this index not appropriate for these joins?

    Apparently not. Probably because it's not covering. I haven't looked at...

  • RE: Database Size

    So the database size is 72GB, the unallocated space is 3GB

    Then the reserved size is 69 GB, the data is 31 GB, the indexes are 38 GB and the unused...

  • RE: Newbie:Why is select doing a table scan?

    Looks fine. I'll take a detailed look later.

    One thing I can tell you straight off, there's no clustered index on the table that you're repeatedly joining to, and no useful...

  • RE: Relying on tuning advisor for indexing

    thulani.moyana (1/25/2009)


    I would like to find out if one can rely on the tuning advisor and implement all of its recommendations?

    No.

    The DTA does an OK job. Not great, but...

  • RE: recompilation of #tables

    Please post in the appropriate forum in the future.

    Temp tables are treated the same way (almost) as permanent tables. So creation of a temp table will force a proc to...

  • RE: execute clr proc ftom tsql proc...

    Why is that done in the CLR? For procs that affect data, T-SQL's a better choice.

    There's no setting or anything, so the only thing I can think of is that...

  • RE: Table Join on Hash Match vs Nested Loop

    The second has a very different exec plan for a simple reason. That subquery, as written, must return only one value. If it returns more, the query must fail (with...

  • RE: execute clr proc ftom tsql proc...

    What's the CLR proc doing?

  • RE: help me in improving my server performance

    Couple things...

    Nolock is not a good thing to add everywhere. Are you aware of the problems it may cause and do you feel that the risks of bad data are...

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?
