  • Reply To: DB Naming

    Whatever you choose, please, please, OH PLEASE, focus first on clarity and communication. Any other kind of rigid enforcement of some particular little persnickety rule must come second. The purpose...

  • Reply To: Log backup file is very large

    Are you initializing the backup file each time, or is the backup file stacking? Try running RESTORE HEADERONLY to see if you're putting multiple backups into a single file....

    Both have a future. Further, "cloud computing" is an insanely vague term, like, "I work with computers". Cloud computing encompasses stuff like cloud-hosted virtual machines, services, up to and including...

  • Reply To: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    I tried it for a time to see if there was more or better engagement versus Youtube. Kind of sucked actually.

  • Reply To: latency observed from application to connect SQL Server in Azure

    That's a measure you have to do from the client. Azure SQL Database isn't going to see latency on it's end. It's going to get a connection request (however long...

  • Reply To: Last time user loged in or any jobs ran

  • Reply To: Distribution database Backup failed

    Without an error message of any kind, it could be sunspots, extra solar radiation or the vast conspiracy of the Bohemian Grove. We simply don't have enough information to say...

  • Reply To: SQL Server Licencing Cost

    ALWAYS, go to Microsoft for accurate licensing information. They're just going to know better than some knucklehead on the internet, like me.

    I think that is what I am doing.  The primary path AFTER sign in is by UserId - the identify column. However, at sign in it looks for the...

    But, in this case, having the Clustered Index on the UserID is probably perfect.

    You also won't need a non-clustered index on UserID then, either.

    Jeff's not wrong (I say that...

  • Reply To: SQL 2016 to 2019 upgrade benefits

    This.

    Just that. Everything else is nice to have. But that, that's a flipping miracle. And yes, I mean the word other than flipping.
