  • RE: Cross Apply

    CROSS APPLY works. I've even seen it increase performance. Have you looked at the execution plans? Are those inline or multi-statement UDF's?

  • RE: Standard practice for updating database that is already live on a website

    We use a method similar to GSquared except we have a fourth machine, staging. So we testin QA and then test the deployment in Staging.

    Yeah, you could experience data loss...

  • RE: Inserting record in Master Table is slow

    Yeah GSquared has it nailed. Nothing in there should be running slow from a pure code structure stand-point. It's likely some other cause. Have you run a server-side trace to...

  • RE: application keeps stopping or get hung in the logs it says connection

    Are you seeing errors in the SQL Server logs? Do you have an error number or severity on the client? There are a lot reasons for a disconnect. Without more...

  • RE: Top 1 VS Max

    Like I said, it's not online. It was published in the print magazine SQL Server Standard, which is published by SQL PASS. They don't have the articles on line. Go...

  • RE: A true million SSc members

    Yeah Steve, give us more stuff!

  • RE: query hangs and tempdb keeps on growing

    To really answer the question, we'd need to see the query, but tempdb is used when you create temporary tables, either table variables or old fashioned temp tables, when you...

  • RE: Top 1 VS Max

    1) Without an index, I suspect both queries will result in a table scan. You would want an index there. With an index, I've generally found TOP to work better...

  • RE: Global vs Local Temporary Tables

    Temporary tables can be dropped automatically as the process that created them leaves scope (the user logs off or breaks the connection). Global temp tables are dropped automatically when all...

  • RE: Duplicate INSERTs

    Yeah, it sounds like duplicate entries and you don't have a natural key defined on the database. That is one of the problems with using an Identity only PK method....

    I don't know what it was about it. One of my friends loved it to bits.

    Maybe the blatant feminism. MZB's not subtle about that when she...

    She Who Must Be Obeyed

    Odd, because I normally love Arthurian myth.

    [font="Verdana"]After Mary Stewart (brilliant), I find most Atrhurian myth disappointing.

    But on the note of dissapointing movies from books and Arthurian...

    I tried three times to read Mists of Avalon. I got a few pages further each time before flinging the book across the room.
