  • RE: Alert me automatic addition of record

    Different servers makes it more difficult. In order to use a trigger you'd have to use a linked server. It sounds less viable now than it did. The different data...

  • RE: Alert me automatic addition of record

    Sounds like a situation that will be answered by a trigger. You can do a cross database query pretty easily if they're on the same server.

  • RE: Lazy Writer Activity

  • RE: Selecting the most recent record within a query?

    Another set of mechanisms for getting versioned data (the latest) are illustrated in this article[/url] I wrote for Simple-Talk.

    Oh well heck, everyone else has said it and now I feel left out.

    Congrats Gail.

    What was it you did again?

    For this sort of thing I would recommend a server-side profiler trace. Don't use the Profiler itself if you intend to trace over an extended...

  • RE: .bak file larger than .mdf file

    But you were right to point out that what I said was insufficiently clear. That can lead to all sorts of problems.
