    Maybe it is just that if a split has occurred, NOLOCK can return bad data, even if the split happened awhile ago?

    No, it was not me that pointed it out, because for a page split to occur, there must be an insert/update operation occurring. SQL doesn't randomly, when it's bored, move...

    The only 'tie-in' with extents is that full and diff backups both backup extent by extent, not page by page. A differential backup contains all the extents which changed since...

  • RE: Backup questions for 612GB database!

  • RE: Backup questions for 612GB database!

    Diffs DO rely on the LSN of the last full backup. Logs do not. Logs rely on the LSN of the previous log backup.

    That's why COPY_ONLY is used on a...

    Jeff Moden (5/4/2014)
