  • RE: Can I kill DBCC Shrinkfile???

    Please note: 9 year old thread.

    Shrink works in lots of little transactions, so there's little chance of a rollback taking forever. A database recovery after a restart won't take forever,...

  • RE: BULK INSERT SCRIPT PLS

    Why?

    If you're copying data from one table to another on the same server, you would use INSERT ... SELECT, not bulk insert. Bulk insert is for when you're starting...

  • RE: Distribute data into groups based on existing numbers

    Are tasks added one at a time, or will you get batches of a lot of tasks in one insert?

    Is it a crisis if the groups aren't perfectly balanced?

    Just so...

  • RE: BULK INSERT SCRIPT PLS

    That's not what BULK INSERT does.

    Bulk insert, specifically and only, loads data from a file (text file usually, or comma-separated value) in the file system into a database table. It's...

  • RE: BULK INSERT SCRIPT PLS

    So if you've checked MSDN, seen the syntax description and looked at the examples at the bottom of the page, what specifically are you stuck with?

    What have you got so...

  • RE: Trigger not inserting any values

    Why not a unique constraint when all you're doing is enforcing uniqueness? Using a trigger for what a constraint does is poor design and a bad idea

  • RE: Inline syntax for indexes

    Jeff Moden (8/11/2014)


    Now that would be nice in "regular" T-SQL.

    Err.. It is in regular T-SQL, from SQL 2014 onwards.

  • RE: Inline syntax for indexes

    You're looking on the wrong page, the page you linked to is for Azure databases, where I assume this feature doesn't exist. If you look at the CREATE TABLE page...

  • RE: Trigger not inserting any values

    Three things immediately obvious:

    1) This trigger can't handle multiple rows being inserted or updated.

    2) A unique constraint on AlphanumericCol would probably be a better option

    3) It's written more like an...

  • RE: Plagiarism and Blog Spam

    Microsoft holds the copyright on MSDN. Stuff on Linked In will either be the author of the piece or Linked In themselves, depending on the agreements.

    The point is, unless you're...

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    Ed Wagner (8/11/2014)


    It would be another layer of security, but a captcha on the new thread screen could also help eliminate the bot-style posts.

    No, please no. Captchas are so annoying...

  • RE: Plagiarism and Blog Spam

    What can you do?

    If he plagiarises a specific blog, the owner of that blog can file a take down request. Same if he does that to an article. If you're...

  • RE: Index Space calculation confusion

    Gazareth (8/11/2014)


    Thanks Gail, that could be why it's 16KB, can't see a table that small needing 2 IAM pages?

    Indeed, that's probably the index root page and the IAM.

  • RE: error in starting DB coz of a secondary log file

    After step 4 everything was working?

    Can you restore the backup again?

  • RE: error in starting DB coz of a secondary log file

    What was the exact order things were done in, and what exactly was done?
