  • RE: SQL user password hash algorithm and salt value

    The algorithm used for SQL logins isn't documented.

    Why do you need it?

    In this case no assumption was needed, since the OP said

    Field from table1 is primary key

  • RE: Basic Snapshot Isolation example not working?

    Yes it should, because you have no explicit transactions.

    In snapshot isolation, read queries will show the data version as of the time their transaction started. You have no explicit transaction,...

  • RE: Setting up Prod and Dev servers

    So the server is intended as a reporting/analysis server (read-only access to production data), not a development server (where developers are actively working on new features and changing existing features)?

    Snapshots are read only, log shipping secondaries are read only.

    I have to ask, because the reason for needing up to date data will affect appropriate methods. If it's a reporting...

  • RE: Query to identify unmatched records for a Foreign Key

    If Field in Table1 is ever null, that query would return no rows. However since that's the primary key, it's not nullable and hence you don't have that concern

  • RE: count of rows.

    The DMV should be transactionally consistent. This isn't the sysindexes from SQL 2000 era which could be and was wrong at times.

    Either one will do, if it's a once-off (which it should be), it really doesn't matter which you use.

  • RE: Setting up Prod and Dev servers

    If you log ship, then your dev database will be completely read-only. Mirroring's worse, the DB isn't accessible at all. Kinda defeats the point of a development server.

    Why do you...

    What's the impact?

    None.

    Putting it another way - I just modified a database, placing content over 4 files.

    No you didn't. You changed one file to have an initial...
