  • RE: 'priority boost' server option

    I recommend you turn it off. On a server with nothing other than SQL it will provide no benefit as there's nothing to boost SQL's priority over and you run...

  • RE: Transaction Logs Full

    Why did you change the DB to full recovery in the first place? Full recovery makes log management harder (you need scheduled log backups), not easier.

  • RE: Index question

    ScottPletcher (2/21/2013)


    Are Transaction_Numbers -- i.e. clustered key values -- added in ascending sequence?

    If so, make sure SQL is sorting the rows before doing the INSERTs.

    Why?

    The exec plans are the same...

  • RE: Differential backups rendered useless by backup device

    sqlskj4000 (2/20/2013)


    I agree it's not exactly a bug. But the fact remains that differentials are running based on a non-existent full backup (a backup that's part of a volume snapshot)....

  • RE: Runnable query - waiting for what?

  • RE: Max meomory setting vs task manager

    Don't use Task Manager to check SQL Server's memory, it can display completely incorrect (far too low) values.
