  • RE: two indexes give exact same execution plan but optimizer always picks 1. why?

    With that row count, the noncluster's probably only 2 levels deep. As the table gets larger, you'll probably be able to see a small IO count difference between the two...

  • RE: Mirroring between 2005 32 bits and 2008 64 bits. Possible?

    Unlikely. It's not the 32 bit/64 bit. It's that you're trying to mirror between two different versions of SQL.

    You can try and set it up, but I doubt it...
