  • RE: Can data in sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats be deleted due to memory pressure?

    Ah, well, since this is one of the DMOs that is only reset when the instance is restarted, I suspect it's not that vital.

    Some folks refer the transaction log backup as an incremental log backup though....

    I can call a horse a car, doesn't make it one. Incremental backups != transaction...

    As to keeping logs, once you have differential backups in place, you only need logs back to the last differential. Recovery would go, Full Backup, Latest Differential...

  • RE: Sql "incremental" Backups

    If by incremental you mean all the changes since the last incremental and then all the changes since that one... nope, no such critter. You answer that question with Differentials...

  • RE: Sql Differential Backups

    I have not seen a differential backup cause any more pain in terms of CPU than a regular backup. I suppose it might add something to the load, but from...

  • RE: Basic Index Question

    First off, that article is 7 years old, so almost anything it says might be slightly off these days. However, I just read through it and frankly, the author is...

  • RE: Determining last update to a table

    It's not actually a table. It's a Dynamic Management View. If you're looking for it in SSMS, you need to look in system views. But no, unless you've got a...

  • RE: Stop SQL Server Service or Server Shutdown

    Probably no difference because starting the shut down process on the server is going to start the shut down process on SQL Server. But I would still do it by...

  • RE: CXPACKET Wait - advice on Max Dop setting

    The decision for which queries to put through parallelism is all based on the cost threshold, so controlling than rather than simply turning off parallelism completely I've found to be...

  • RE: Can data in sys.dm_db_index_usage_stats be deleted due to memory pressure?

    To my knowledge it can't be, but these tables are all very small. If you have that much memory pressure, you should be looking at your processes, not attempting to...

  • RE: CXPACKET Wait - advice on Max Dop setting

    I would not recommend setting MAXDOP to 1 for most systems. Instead, I'd experiment with bumping up the cost threshold for parallelism. The default value of 5 is way too...

  • RE: Alias Problems

    Nope, server aliases are a shortcut for local connections, not a way to rename the server.

  • RE: Determining last update to a table

    What version of SQL Server are you running? If it's SQL Server 2000, that would explain your issue.

    I think I'd be more worried about someone with a gladius on a subway car. A claymore is a lot of steel in a...

  • RE: your spare time?

    Spare time? Interesting concept as I sit here in an airport traveling back from a user group meeting and posting online here.

    Write books and help run a scout troop,...
