  • RE: Recommended MSSQL 2005 tuning books/articles/whitepaper/websites/blogs

    <ShamelessPlug>I just got an article published on the basics of performance tuning at Simple-Talk.com

  • RE: Find Transaction Time

    It might not be exactly what you're looking for, but have you looked into, what was in SQL 2000, the black box? Lookup sp_trace_create in BOL.

  • RE: CAN U SOLVE MY SQL PROBLEM

    Something along the lines of:

    SELECT c.State, h.HotelName, h.MinPrice

    FROM City c

    INNER JOIN Hotel h

    ON c.City = h.City

    AND h.Range = (SELECT MIN(Range)

                                   FROM Hotel h2

                                   WHERE h2.City = h.City

                                   and h2.Hotel = h.Hotel

                            ...

  • RE: Estimated vs. Actual

    The estimated plan can't be trusted because statistics & data can get out of sync. I had to come up with a contrived situation to display it. Silly, I'll grant...

  • RE: Estimated vs. Actual

    With some help from a person, here's one that works (by works I mean we get two different plans).

    EXISTS (...

  • RE: Backup Testing

    The short answer is "as often as possible." What this translates to varies widely based on system, space, etc.. The reason is pretty much as you state. You need to...

  • RE: Estimated vs. Actual

    It's funny you say that. The reason I posted an XML plan was that the graphical plans were acting all wonky with that script. There's a mystery I'm going to...

  • RE: Estimated vs. Actual

    Basically, yes. I'm working on something and rather than simply caution that differences could arise, I'd like to show one.

  • RE: Estimated vs. Actual

    Crud. Now parameter sniffing is taking part. If I take away the constant values & substitute a parameter I get clustered scans for everything...

  • RE: Estimated vs. Actual

    I'm a little spacy this morning (production problems overnight), so maybe I'm doing something stupid here.

    In desperation to try to find an answer this question, I hit up a...

  • RE: Estimated vs. Actual

    Two identical plans:

  • RE: Estimated vs. Actual

    Ha!

    Well, I'm not going for messed up, but it's worth a shot. I'll let you know.

  • RE: Regarding a deadlock scenario

    Everything the Guru said and, check the use of transactions in your process. Something seems to be doing some sort of lock escalation within the transaction because blocking, by itself, doesn't...

  • RE: Estimated vs. Actual

    OK. Weak theory completely destroyed by reality. You can't drop statistics created by indexes and the other statistics just don't seem to be affecting the plan much. More ideas needed.

  • RE: Compare data in 2 different tables

    Something like this?

    UPDATE Receipts

    SET DateEnd = u.ExpiryDate

    FROM UserRoles u

    INNER JOIN Receipts r

    ON u.UserId = r.UserId

    WHERE u.RoleId = 5
