  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    Steve Jones - SSC Editor (12/15/2014)


    Given that online essentially starts a transaction, flips two pages, commits, it should be a lot slower.

    That's REORGANIZE.

    Online rebuild rebuilds the index entirely, creating a...

    And bear in mind that you can't downgrade SQL databases. Once the databases are attached to a SQL 2012 instance, they are SQL 2012 databases and will not attach or...

  • RE: Backup with CHECKSUM OR Verify backup or Both?

    Shafat Husain (12/15/2014)


    Checksum and verifyonly essentially performs the same function

  • RE: Do DDL triggers cause any considerable performance impact ?

    Depends what they do.

    However, since DDL triggers only fire on DDL operations, unless you're changing the schema every few seconds, it shouldn't have a major effect.

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    The ones I love are:

    Me: Try this <solution>

    OP: That won't work.

    Me: Did you try it?

    OP: It works.

    Usually when the solution is a little non-obvious.

  • RE: .ldf deleted and now cant attach database

    Try rebuilding the system databases. If that fixes the system resource problem you can then restore your backups of master, model (if necessary) and msdb.

    dgbarnes (12/11/2014)


    Should I manually enter the security information in the master database then just create the databases and restore from backups, letting Server 2014 perform the upgrades?

    Yup.

    Also, when you're running queries against sys.dm_exec_requests you will see the resource that a given query is waiting on.

    And sys.dm_os_waiting_tasks
