    First thing is to find out why the procedure is slow. Are there cursors, while loops or...

  • RE: Is it possible to prioritize server time by database?

    Not within one instance. SQL treats all databases equally. If you need to do this, and the databases don't refer to each other, you could install a second instance and...

  • RE: Full Receovery Model BUT NO LOG BACKUP FOR PERFORMANCE

    The only thing I have ever seen blocked by a log backup, was a full/diff backup, and that was on SQL 2000. But you can test it out for yourself,...

  • RE: Suggestion on Updating Statistics

    Hmmm, I wonder how filtered indexes (SQL 2008) would work for a column with severe data skew. Create one index for the 'common' data values and another for the 'rare'...

  • RE: long running quries

    If you don't like using the profiler GUI, you can use the sp_trace stored procedures. Easiest way is to generate the trace definition from profiler. Create the trace then script...

  • RE: Certification path

    If you're close to getting the MCDBA (one exam away) perhaps try to finish it. If not maybe consider doing the 2005 certs instead, or perhaps even going straight for...

  • RE: Beat this - comic relief for the day

    I thought much the same on that particular post, though there may be history that we don't know of. The other authors are fine (imho)

    I think you'll appreciate the latest...

    I can't help but wonder if the view definition looks something like:

    create view vwProviderDirectoryReportWithAllServiceLocations

    as

    Select *

    ProviderDirectoryReportWithAllServiceLocations
