  • RE: Moved the backups to the fileshare but I can't restore directly from the fileshare

    You restore the full with no recovery, then the diff with no recovery, then the logs, all with no recovery except the last one.

  • RE: SQL Server 2012 vs 2014 Developer Edition

    jeffgonzalez007 (11/4/2014)


    I'm assuming that if I buy the 2014 version the look and feel of 2014 will be the same as 2012, but with new noticeable features

    Pretty much, yes.

  • RE: Lock not released after UPDATE .. WAITFOR DELAY

    Open transaction would be the reason the locks were held. locks taken by data modifications are held until the transaction completes

  • RE: Backup Size

  • RE: Lock not released after UPDATE .. WAITFOR DELAY

    Running it in SSMS doesn't mean he didn't use a transaction. Check for open transactions.

  • RE: Lock not released after UPDATE .. WAITFOR DELAY

    Did he start a transaction before running that and not commit it?

    No.

    Table variables are temp tables with different scoping and a lack of statistics. That's all. They're temp tables. They live in TempDB. They are physical tables and always have been....
