  • RE: DBCC CHECKDB AND REINDEX - Any Specific Execution Order

    As I said above, I'd do checkDB first, as there's little point in trying to rebuild indexes of a database with corruption. Also, it's very likely that the index rebuild...

  • RE: Error: 18456, Severity: 14, State: 16.Login failed for user 'sa'. [CLIENT: XXX.XXX.XX.XXX]

    It's not a SQL 2005-specific problem. The error (specifically the state) is saying that the database requested by the login isn't available, either because it's not there, is offline or...

  • RE: Active/Active cluster setup in s2k5

    They'll have to have different names. Both instances are installed on both nodes, although they're only active on one at a time.

    It's not unusual (in SP4 of SQL 2000) to see self-blocking. It's usually nothing to worry about. It may indicate parallelism or just that part of the query execution is...

  • RE: DBCC CHECKDB AND REINDEX - Any Specific Execution Order

    I'd run it before. There's not much point in doing expensive maintenance on a database that's corrupt. If there's any corruption present, the reindex would probably throw errors anyway.

    Good to hear.

    Yeah, replication can be a pain sometimes. Glad you came right.

  • RE: Index defragmentation

    I wouldn't call 200000 rows small. 🙂

    Check the number of pages in the table. Don't worry too much about tables with < 100 pages.
