Ha!

And we can keep going. Don't let Jeff get started on fragmentation. Don't let me get started on...

Since those are estimated calculations, it's probably just some rounding errors that they didn't bother eliminating. But, I don't know the internals, so maybe I'm wrong.

And then test them through a restore process.

More, bigger, faster hardware. That's the deal. No other magic run faster switches for a restore operation... although in 2022 the recovery aspect of a restore is radically improved, so,...

No, it's a real error. However, the good/bad news is, you're dealing with tempdb. You can just drop and recreate it (with a reboot). Here's documentation on dealing with...

Failover will always include recovery. It has to. It's likely that the one that is going really slow simply has a lot more transactions to deal with.

I've got nothing, but I figured you should at least know that someone was looking. Sorry.

Funny enough, the ChatGPT answer is pretty good, if not at all helpful. It's correct, the ANSI settings do affect plan generation. What it didn't bother to tell you was...

I've been in pain recently because of a niche topic and old information. I'm trying to migrate data into PostgreSQL through Azure IoT Hub. Troubleshooting stinks. Error messages are crap....

Yep. Pull first, then add stuff. You can't sync the two independently. One has to drive the other, especially initially.

So odd. Oh well. This is a hard win. Has been for a decade.

Sure. There's some overhead associated with this. It's probably not massive unless we're talking 10s of thousands of failed attempts. But without a doubt, yeah. Everything the server does, everything,...

Nah. If anything its me and the way I call out people's reluctance to embrace new stuff (that's actually functional and useful, not just new). I'm pretty sure I cross...

Of course they're not bad people. Just people. I see it all the time. It's perfectly normal, though a bit regrettable, behavior.

In a nutshell, they can do anything in the cloud (around VMs & AD I mean) that they can locally. There's no reason why it would just utterly fail to...
