  • RE: Certification path for the Accidental DBA?

    Boot camps aren't about training. They're about cramming enough knowledge to pass the cert exam at the end. Retaining knowledge afterwards is not required.

    If you want week long training courses,...

  • RE: Temp Tables Persisting in the TembDB

    RonKyle (5/6/2015)


    @Gail--I've normally used #temptables to load objects (e.g. offices, jobsites etc) to which someone had access. As most people would have a different list, there would be...

  • RE: Temp Tables Persisting in the TembDB

    RonKyle (5/6/2015)


    Can't this be overcome by explicitly dropping the temp tables in the connection.

    Why do you want to bypass a feature that's designed to reduce contention on the TempDB...

  • RE: Some Random SQL Server Best Practices

    And this is a few days too early for me to reference an editorial on using the scientific method when writing blog posts, so I'll just make comments instead.

  • RE: Trace user

    Unless you had some form of auditing in place at the time the insert was done, you're probably not going to be able to find anything out. The default trace...

  • RE: Recovery Pending Databases

    Restore from a backup, I don't think that's fixable.

    If you don't have a backup, script out what you can (with the DB in emergency mode), export what you can and...

  • RE: What happens when the xact log fills up?

    SQL will try to grow the log file. If it can't any data modification that runs will get error 9002 and fail.

    You've probably got a tiny autogrow set, so the...

  • RE: Complete Definitions

    Steve Jones - SSC Editor (5/5/2015)


    I'm with Gail, somewhat on this. It's not that I think it's harder for me to restore or recover, but it is slightly less readable...

  • RE: Complete Definitions

    RonKyle (5/5/2015)


    My understanding is that if I have a file group with tables that rarely or never change, and I check only if there is a data change, then if...

  • RE: Complete Definitions

    RonKyle (5/5/2015)


    Running a CHECKDB is only possible when the backup is restored to the test environment. Less than optimum.

    Personally that's my preferred way of doing it on large,...

  • RE: Complete Definitions

    RonKyle (5/5/2015)


    As a minimum it can allow for the separation of tables and indexes to separate disks and doesn't prevent using standard backup and restore procedures.

    Yes, you can do that....

  • RE: Profile logical reads versus STATISTICS IO

    User-defined functions.

    http://sqlinthewild.co.za/index.php/2009/04/29/functions-io-statistics-and-the-execution-plan/

    Or, looking at the duration stats...

    Could be different plans. Management studio uses different set options to what most apps use, so running the query from SSMS may have generated...

  • RE: Complete Definitions

    RonKyle (5/4/2015)


    But if the filegroup would become corrupt, I've made it harder to recover.

    Not necessarily. Depends on the type of corruption. If the system tables get hit, that's a full...

  • RE: How soon will relational databases become obsolete, if at all?

    SimonH (5/5/2015)


    "not whether someone thinks their crystal ball is better than yours"

    I'm thinking its more of a case of this.

    It is (I have a couple of those types of devs...

  • RE: Minimizing Locking on Update statements

    Grant Fritchey (5/5/2015)


    Snapshot isolation level is a great way to reduce contention on the system. It does add load to tempdb, so be sure you're ready for that. However, I'm...
