  • RE: I do not understand nested joins

    You're also missing some JOIN criteria here:

    LEFT OUTER JOIN SALES_TAX RIGHT OUTER JOIN

  • RE: How can I see the value of parameters in stored procedure?

    You can trace each statement within the procedure by using Extended Events. You can set up to capture each statement start and end. That will give you precise information on...

    Thank you very much for the reply Tom,

    And yes Grant this is the same person that talked to you in Dallas SQL Saturday.

    HA!

    I'd say I recognized your question, but...

    Barry, where have you been?

    Mostly just working. I answer questions over at StackOverflow sometimes, but that's about it.

    StackOverflow? Traitor!

    Ha!

    Good to see around, even if only virtually.

  • RE: Table design and PK design

    Functionally, it's no big deal. A little bit of a pain having to maintain two unique indexes, one for the PK and one for AK, but I've worked with such...

  • RE: How to reduce the joins in sql querry

    Just to be clear, 10 join operations is not very much. Joins are not a bad thing within a relational data structure. In fact, they're fairly necessary.

  • RE: Indexes

    to understand how indexes are in use on your system, use the sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats. But, there are some caveats around what it shows as to whether or not an index has...

  • RE: query plan with "parallelism"...

    Your query is extremely simple, but the execution plan is very complex. So, it looks like you're joining or nesting views. You've got a "Reason for early termination" of the...

  • RE: Jobs and Outsourcing

    I'm pretty constantly bombarded by job requests. I'd say the activity is out there. Heck, I just got told of another by a friend (anyone, that I can vouch for,...

  • RE: query plan with "parallelism"...

    There are, as Steve says, almost limitless issues. One of them is most likely that you have the default value set for "Cost Threshold for Parallelism." That value is 5....

  • RE: Survey guidelines about the execution time of a SQL Server agent job

    It kind of depends on what the job is doing how you can monitor it. If it's running DOS or PowerShell commands, the primary metrics are going to be the...

  • RE: Scalar UDF different performance on different server

    I'm with Kevin. It's very likely to be contention.

    But, from the differences you're seeing, I'd also suggest it's possibly statistics being different between the two. Those differences in estimations the...

  • RE: Database Monitoring Tools For MS SQL Server and Oracle Servers

    There are only a few that do both.

    Dell (formerly Quest) Foglight

    Solarwinds

    Microsoft Systems Center Operation Manager

    Personally, I'm not crazy about the job that Foglight does on SQL Server, but it works...

  • RE: Memory not being shared between instances

    If you don't set the max memory on each instance, they will fight for the memory resources and you could see a "winner" in that fight.

    In general, if a...
