  • RE: Empty a database

    Quick and dirty, completely inelegant and unefficient and you might have to run it two or three times in a row, but it will do the job.

  • RE: Upgrades

    I think most of the other posters have already hit the high points. Upgrade and development times are just too long to support short release cycles. We started working with 2005...

  • RE: Stupid Question

    I've been reading Hornblower & Sharpe & Aubrey/Maturin novels my entire life. That and growing up on Monty Python and British television... It's just there. Plus, I used it to...

  • RE: Stupid Question

    Hey watch it! I resemble that remark.

    Yeah, old, weak joke but unfortunately true.

    How about a manly hand shake?

  • RE: Fatal error 824

    You got trouble in River City. According to MS:

    The 824 error indicates that a logical consistency error was detected during a read. A logical consistency error is a clear indication...

  • RE: Anyone see any inefficiencies with this stored proc?

    In addition to all those recommendations, I'd suggest taking the IN clause and turning that into a join, even if you keep it as a derived table. In terms of...

  • RE: Actual Reason to Use CLR

    I'm curious to see the...

    What about:

    UPDATE

    [Northwind].[dbo].[Orders]

    SET [ShippedDate] = x.myshipdate

  • RE: Backup remote database with TSQL

    What error are you getting? You can run a backup command from just about anywhere (a linked server isn't really necessary), but the real issue is usually one of disk...

  • RE: Want to make ''''Get Latest Status'''' function more efficient

    Assuming a clustered index on the UniqueRowId (or a combination of the other columns used in the aggregate query), in a similar situation we've found that using TOP(1) with an...

  • RE: Redundant Columns

    You can store all those columns, but the question is, why would you need to? For example, I've done exactly what you're laying out because we found that all our...

  • RE: System Tables

    Some of that information is available from sys.syslogins. I think the more dynamic stuff, like the number of logons, isn't going to be there. You may need to set up...
