    Hi,

    We are currently planning a side-by-side SQL Upgrade from 2008r2 to 2014.

    One of the post-Upgrade checks I would like to do is to run DBCC CHECKDB WITH...

  • RE: DBCC CHECKDB WITH DATA_PURITY

    Luis Cazares (3/26/2015)


    By the way, about the article that Gail posted where they mention a comic book cover. I found that discussion out of place.

    Yeah, that protest is stupid.

    Igor Micev (3/27/2015)


    If you're going to play with MAXDOP, the figure I use (based on advice from Adam Machanic) is 1.5*(number of physical cores in a NUMA node).

    I'm curious to...

  • RE: Transferring 3 SQL databases from both SQL Express 2005 and Standard to a new physical server

    Definitely backup/restore to move the databases. The backup files aren't affected by whether the server is x86 or x64 (neither are the database files for that matter)

    I don't think you can.

    Removing the derived table is easily enough, but then you run into the "No outer joins." limitation. Convert to NOT IN/NOT EXISTS and you run into...
