  • RE: update statistics failed

    It was a deadlock victim. So while it was trying to modify data, other processes came and caused a deadlock. You should just be able to rerun it. It's pretty...

    Right, so as far as SQL Server is concerned you're partitioning to a single drive. Performance is pretty much guaranteed to be poor. Yours does seem abnormally...

  • RE: ORDER BY non-sequential number sequence

    It's worth mentioning that having a function like that on the ORDER BY can prevent index use. Depending on the size of the data set and the complexity of the...

  • RE: Employer asking for Social Media login?

    No.

    Everything I do publicly, my employer actually has some interest in. That's especially true for me, being a public rep for a company. But what I do privately, whether in...

  • RE: I'm stumped by why a particular query is slow

    I'd check out the new execution plan and figure out what it's doing now. Just so you know in case there are issues in the future. You do have parameters...

  • RE: Actual estimated execution plan recommends index to apply and increase perf by 25%, but doesn't work

    Bug aside, the only way to be sure what's happening is to read the execution plan to understand why it is doing each operation that it is using to retrieve...

  • RE: IO Errors

    Buffer cache hit ratio is a poor indicator. The page life expectancy is pretty low though. I suspect you are hitting the disk a lot. Fragmentation may help at the...

  • RE: Partitioning and the performance on writes.

    Yeah, but is the SAN set to multiple, isolated LUNs for the partitioning? If not, partitioning is going to suffer more than just a straight access to the same set...

  • RE: 2008 Index Fragmentation Maintenance

    Not just zero pages. It should have a page limit so that the defrag is across an index that's greater than 1 extent or the defrag just won't work. I...

    I think Gail would spontaneously combust over a few of the statements I saw.

    Almost, on a few occasions. I've had cases where people quote that site to...

  • RE: Adding a time limit to a SQL Job

    The only way I know how to do this would be to modify the timeout for the connection. You could enable the query governor to limit long running queries and...

  • RE: query question

    You can use what is called a derived table. This means your first select statement is treated like a table and then you can join that to your next table....

  • RE: Partitioning and the performance on writes.

    Are the partitions on a single disk? If so, you've just added the overhead of having to filter your data but you're not benefitting from having multiple disks to offset...

  • RE: IO Errors

    It could be fragmentation, but more likely is either slow disks or disk contention. Check your wait statistics to see what is causing the system to slow down. See if...
