  • RE: RedGate SQL Monitor Value

    Why don't you download a trial, play with it for 14 days and decide for yourself if it's worth buying after that time?

  • RE: Regarding adding another data file on PRIMARY

    Yes, it makes a huge difference.

    If you add it as as secondary filegroup, then it's a separate area of storage. Tables already in primary will continue to grow in primary,...

    To be honest, I wouldn't do a blanket index creation without a lot of analysis first. Could be many of those foreign keys don't need indexes on then, meaning this...

    That would only be possible if the transaction log backups did not truncate the log and only the full backup truncated the log after it ran. Not only would that...

  • RE: Is this a safe way of truncating the log inmediately in full recovery model

    Roger Tranchez (11/20/2013)


    I would prefer a way to do it that,

    ALTER DATABASE <database name> SET RECOVERY SIMPLE

    when the 'magic' series of commands are performed, the log file turns to...

  • RE: Why doesn't this throw a syntax error?

    Missing objects is not a syntax error.

    A script with missing objects will parse fine. The binding will fail, but that's allowed and will not terminate the query. The query...

  • RE: CHECKDB Error

    Yup, you've got problems in multiple tables.

    You need to drop and recreate both of these indexes:

    IX_InvMRF_AspireID on InvMRF

    Aspire_IPAddress_NCI on Aspire
