As for the comment about NHibernate not being widely used, if you look around at the upper tier of .NET developers you will find a lot of NHibernate...

Horrible idea in my opinion.

Who cares if a developer saves 10%-20% (the numbers I have heard bandied aroud) by using LINQ during development time? How much time...

The honest answer is, it depends. But I've found that most of the time, performance problems are in the code and the structure, not the system. That assumes the system...

There are three tiers of code to developers, client, business, data access. If you want to make development faster, you need to reduce or eliminate one of these tiers. They...

Excellent, and timely, question. I've been trying to track down the exact same information. The whole idea of ORM (Object Relational Mapping), which LINQ and Entity Framework are examples, has...

Thanks for getting back.

At this point, to everyone except the development architect, we're still gathering information prior to making a decision. My two biggest issues come down to 1) not...

Something along these lines will work as well. I agree you should fix your data types. This will only work well if you've got good indexes too.

SELECT t.Name, t.Date, t.Time

FROM...

When you have the Job Activity Monitor window open, it's on the left in the Status field under a link labeled "View filter settings" and you can also get to...

One other thing you might look at. The Activity Monitor has a "filter settings" that might be filtering out the info that you expect to see. You should check that...

You mentioned a job that changes it's status between the time it ran and the time you looked at it. Did it run again during that time period? That's the...

If the history is getting cleaned up, it's from that properties page I mentioned. There is a way of removing history. It sounds like you might have a bit of...

Do you mean the history of the jobs? Or do you mean that a job failed at 3am, but succeeded at 6AM so it shows as successful? If the former,...

I assume there's a real difference between the number of users and transactions between dev & production? That alone will show a pretty large difference in behavior. But I'd still...

From what I can see here, I'd focus on the code. You've got a lot of waits occurring. Do you know why? You also have a reasonably high number of...

Nice article.

I'm not an SSIS expert, but I overheard our SSIS guru's discussing your article. They liked it. That's a good sign.
