    You generally don't want to rebuild small indexes because it's a waste of time, fragmentation doesn't cause problems with small indexes. The rough threshold I usually hear is somewhere around...

    Do you recommend to set memory limit to a lower value in this case?

    Always. I really don't like SQL and the OS fighting over memory (which they will do...

    Brandie, do you have any writing tools that you'd recommend, for tracking characters, places, plot segments, stuff like that? Preferably for iPad and PC.

  • RE: High memory utilization

    SQL is supposed to consume memory, that's how it's designed. If you don't want SQL to take all the memory on the server, set max server memory and that will...

  • RE: Number of files for database MDF

    60ms isn't bad. Not perfect, but way better than I've seen in many cases.

  • RE: Deadlock - One node is in the Resource database?

    Custom functions in master would show master as the source.

    Post the deadlock graph? I'd guess there's some built-in function or procedure involved (those are stored in the resource DB)

    Got a job somewhere changing recovery models? Perhaps after the full backup?

  • RE: Number of files for database MDF

    First question, why are you splitting it, recoverability or performance? If performance, have you checked whether the current bottleneck is IO?
