  • RE: Log shipping

    Any log backups that you take on a DB that's the source of logshipping must be shipped to the secondary machine and applied. If you don't, the log backups taken...

  • RE: Database Encryption

    SQL 2000 has no built in forms of encryption. (well, not ones that are decryptable)

    SQL 2008 has transparency database encryption which protects the DB files on disk and the backups,...

  • RE: Optimize query

    Run them all and see which is faster.

    The 1st and 2nd should be identical. The explicit joins are preferred over the joins in the where clause for readability at the...

  • RE: sqlquery

    Fourth highest record by what? Please post the table definitions and some sample data. The same comment applies to the 2nd part of your question. Without more info I can't...

  • RE: Transaction log issue

    That error means that the last backup that was restored to the database was restored WITH RECOVERY. With recovery means that transactions are rolled forward and back as necessary and...

  • RE: Certfication on MS SQL 2005

    Buy the self-paced training kits for the different exams. They are quite good.

  • RE: Restricting access to T-SQL within Enterprise Mgr

    Just be aware that in SQL 2000 decrypting encrypted stored procedures was a fairly trivial operation.

  • RE: Query Hints for Performance

    Rather stay away from any form of hints. If you have blocking problems look at optimising the queries that are causing the blocking, rather than hiding the symptoms with locking...

  • RE: Evaluation Expired!

    Michael Earl (7/30/2008)


    I used a beta 2, two different CTP builds, and RC0 and had trouble with the uninstalls of all of them. It may take some work to...

  • RE: Indexing on Foreign Keys is advisable or not?

    Sure, but don't consider them the official word from Microsoft, as that is not the case.

  • RE: Indexing on Foreign Keys is advisable or not?

    Sandy (7/30/2008)

    the word "often" makes me more...

  • RE: Super-long-running query?
