    And now for something completely different:

    The advantage to tempdb is that there is less overhead writing data there since SQL "knows" it never has to recover tempdb.

    OMG!...

    SELECT TOP 3 EMPID FROM EmpTable

    UNION ALL

    (

    SELECT EMPID FROM EmpTable

    EXCEPT

    SELECT TOP 3 EMPID FROM EmpTable

    )

    Top without order by = inconsistent results. With that, SQL will give...

    I'm not sure what type of stats update would be necessary here - probably a full scan.

    None. Shrinking a DB doesn't affect the stats so there's no need...

  • RE: Deadlock info without using Profiler?

    Ness (3/28/2013)


    There is also the sys.dm_tran_locks DMV

    That doesn't show deadlocks. It shows granted and waiting locks. There's no DMV that shows deadlock info

    The traceflag 1222 (don't use 1204, it's SQL 2000 and before). Extended events system health session too it runs automatically so all you need to do there is query it.
