  • RE: Database IN RECOVERY

    Wait, or drop it and restore from your last backups.

    Or maybe call MS support and get someone on site if your agreements with them allow. Will cost. They might be...

  • RE: What is the fastest way to manage date filtering within a query?

    Why are you casting to Varchar? It's just going to force SQL to convert back to date, that's expensive conversions.

    Matt Crowley (5/21/2014)


    Indexes only tend to kick in at about 4% selectivity, if I recall.

    Are you explicitly inserting NEWID() into the table, or are you allowing the default to be used?

  • RE: GUID vs BIGINT

    Nothing will happen to the existing values. If the table is fragmented before you change the default, rebuild your indexes.

  • RE: What can happen if CHECKDB maintenance job is killed in the middle ?

    That's not a quick explanation, that's a chapter. Specifically, it's a chapter in SQL Server 2005 Practical Troubleshooting (http://www.amazon.com/SQL-Server-2005-Practical-Troubleshooting/dp/0321447743/)
