  • RE: Recovery model for a database

    Something within the loop (or someone else) must have changed the recovery model. SQL won't change recovery models on its own

  • RE: Slow Running Store Procedure

    Can you save the exec plan as a .sqlplan file, zip it and attach it? That will help a bit.

    I was wrong the edition is standard for the instances. Is there any advice dealing with paging with this?

  • RE: Deadlock troubleshooting

    Strange. Did you run it in database 6?

    Have you dropped/truncated any tables since the deadlock message? It could account for why the partition is no longer there.

  • RE: DBCC CheckDB Msg 8964text ID is not referenced consistency error

    SQL 2000 or SQL 2005? The checkDB output looks like SQL 2005.

  • RE: Database migration from 2005 to 2000

    Once you've done the migation, be sure to update all the statistics and do a checkDB.

    But, what I can't explain, is why the simple fact of reset the sql agent will fix this for some hours.
