  • RE: Backup questions for 612GB database!

    Jeff Moden (5/3/2014)


    if you use the COPY ONLY option on the NUL backup tests, the test won't interfere with the Point-In-Time backups.

    You mean they won't interfere with differentials 🙂

  • RE: First SQl job were you nervous?

    thomashohner (5/3/2014)


    Anyone else sometimes feel nervous that you wont measure up?

    Yup. With every new client.

    I think I will give a Recursive CTE a try since I have a book...

  • RE: Joining on views in queries instead of tables

    John Deupree (5/2/2014)


    Can someone comment on the performance implications of using views as opposed to the tables themselves.

    Depends on how complex the views are. Simple views that just narrow and/or...

  • RE: Backup questions for 612GB database!

    Jeff Moden (5/3/2014)


    My feeling is that no restore would be possible from such backups.

    It's not, but that's not the point.

    The method he listed is how you tune backup speed. Backup...

    Very True Mike;

    The undocumented option will be to use

    BACKUP LOG MyDb TO DISK=’NUL:’

    Documented, just bloody stupid (the NUL device will be documented in Windows documentation since it's a OS...

  • RE: Every forum post has an ///Edit button

    It's always been like that for everyone. However you can't actually edit other people's posts.

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    The bug report is correct (and it's not saying that you can't edit your own post). It's saying unexpected things happen when you click the Edit on someone else's post

    I...

  • RE: Truncate before table drop

    Doing that is pointless. Truncate deallocates all pages, Drop deallocates all pages and removes the metadata

    convert your server to Virtual Machine... is the best idea.

    I disagree. There's nothing magical about VMs that makes performance problems disappear, all too often it's the opposite.

  • RE: Hekaton - Origin

    Alexandre Araujo (4/30/2014)


    Nice Gail, but hekaton is the official codename of the edition as the name of the feature.

    It's not. It's the code name of what became in-memory OLTP....

  • RE: Hekaton - Origin

    And how long does it take to do that to a normal disk-based table?

    I tested it out, with the load I could generate on a laptop I could not get...

  • RE: Backup questions for 612GB database!

    Try backups to disk, later copied to tape if/as necessary. 620GB isn't huge, backups of that size DB shouldn't take hours.

    If you're having timeouts, examine the latencies and throughput of...

  • RE: Hekaton - Origin

    Previously the versions had code names named after locations. Hekaton isn't a version (SQL Server 2014 is a version), hekaton is a feature and the features often get their own...

  • RE: Choose of join algorithm - Query Optimizer

    Nothing so simple. It's a combination of estimated row counts, row order, whether it's a 1-1, 1-many or many-many join, parallelism, etc, etc. There are a lot of optimiser rules.

    Basically...
