    I hate captchas just as much as everyone else does, but they sure have a place in sorting humans from machines.

  • RE: SQL dba role with limited access/permissions.

    sKreetz! (11/17/2014)


    Does this also apply to dba's changing their own or other dba permissions to access this information?

    If the data is encrypted outside of the database (in the app) and...

  • RE: Rebuild Index first or Update statistics first?

    If you set the stats task to column stats only, it doesn't make the slightest difference which order you run them, as they're doing independent things.

  • RE: Grant Select Permission for All tables

    Double check all of their roles and permissions, not just what you gave them.

  • RE: Grant Select Permission for All tables

    Check the permissions and roles each has. There's nothing intrinsic to windows/sql login that would cause this.

  • RE: Rebuild Index first or Update statistics first?

    Don't select all statistics if you're rebuilding indexes. It's a waste of time. If you're rebuilding indexes (maint plan rebuilds all), then select 'column statistics' on your stats update job.

    Depends on the type of disaster.

  • RE: Big O(1) in SQL 2012

    Yup, that's correct. So, given that definition, does your original question (how to implement O(1)) make any sense?

    Also, what is the theoretical O(n) for a hash search (see your algorithms...
