  • RE: sqlserver 2005 Express

    That DB definitely has traces of transactional replication from somewhere in the past.

    Ok. Try this.

    Create a publication (transactional replication) in that database. Doesn't matter what's included. Pick any table.

    Once it's...

  • RE: Performance in a standalone server and a cluster server

    They should be the same.

    The cluster admin adds almost no overhead to SQL. It's IsAlive checks are very low-impact.

  • RE: How to tell if Index stats need updating?

    george sibbald (10/9/2008)


    there is a column 'rowmodctr' in sysindexes which tracks the no of updates since the last update stats. Pretty sure this is what SQL uses for auto_update.

  • RE: Load Balancing needs identical servers ?

    No idea about the switch.

    Why are you looking to load balance SQL Server? App servers or web servers load balance well and easily. It's not something that's generally done with...

  • RE: Referencing indexes in a SQL statement

    There's a major disadvantage to doing that. If you use a query hint you are forcing the optimiser to pick a plan using that index, even if another index would...

  • RE: SQL Data Caching

  • RE: SQL Deadlock in Reporting Database

    You can enable traceflag 1222 and SQL will write the deadlock graph into the error log. That will help you locate the cause of the deadlock.

    The only way to get...

  • RE: How to tell if Index stats need updating?

    I'd suggest a sliding percentage based on the table size. From experience, 20% is too high a threshold on larger (+1000000 row) tables

    Just bare in mind that not all columns...

    Can you please post the table structure (as a create table statement) and some sample data (as insert statements).

    I just want to load-balancing my 2 servers, so that they can share same database content and split the coming requests.

    Can SQL 2005 actually do this ? And do...
