  • RE: Load Balancing needs identical servers ?

    How are you planning to load balance 2 SQL server databases? (Or have I misunderstood your question)

    Clustering isn't for load-balancing. It's for high-availability.

  • RE: Did you buy SQL Server for home use?

    You can get SQL Server Developer for around $50. Search Microsoft's site, it's somewhere there. Developer has the full Enterprise features, it's just licensed only for development usage.

    There's no easy way in 2005. The counters that keep track of changes are hidden.

    That is a topic that gets endlessly debated. There's no right or wrong side, just preferences.

  • RE: ORA-01113: file 21 needs media recovery

    gpet (10/9/2008)


    Yes it is in Oracle 10g.

    Am I in a wrong forum?

    Yes. This forum is dedicated to Microsoft's SQL Server.

    May I suggest DBForums[/url] as they have an Oracle section.

  • RE: Error "file 'pffilestore.cpp', line 3356, function 'PFFileStore::HandleDataPageFault'"

    You'll probably have to call Microsoft's support people on this one. That kind of thign is usually an unhandled exception in the code and not something that we can fix.

    Maybe, maybe not. It depends on how bad the corruption is. No way to tell without seeing the results of CheckTable or CheckDB.
