  • RE: FTP TASK

    You should either be able to use a variable for the local path attribute, or build an expression for it. Either one should do what you need.

    Depending on the details of how your cursor is being declared (updatable vs read-only, fast forward, et al), having an explicit transaction wrapped around the whole process would make it...

  • RE: Index Rebuild - How To Improve Its Efficiency

    Any possibility of federating (partitioning) the tables?

    Then you could rebuild indexes incrementally. That can often help.

  • RE: Encrypted fields

    Okay.

    Depending on your decryption method, decrypting a whole table all at once is probably going to be slow, no matter what you do in the database. Encryption/decryption is very...

  • RE: tool for managing stored procedures

    Take a look at RedGate's SQL Dependency Tracker (link at top right corner of this site). See if that will do what you need.

    It depends on what you're doing and how you're doing it.

    Does the encryption/decryption take place in the database or in a higher layer?

    How many rows at a time are you decrypting?

    Does the data have to be pulled from the table,...

  • RE: TimeStamp and @@DBTS feature/syntax deprecated in future version, what is the alternative provided by SQLServer

    Rowversion is the alternative to TimeStamp.

    TimeStamp was badly named in the first place. The data doesn't have any real relation to time stamps, it's just a row version increment.
