    Not necessarily. What you're seeing in the file date is what's recorded in the Windows file system meta data. That doesn't necessarily get updated on these. Can...

  • RE: BUL INSERT WITH FILEFORMAT

    I've seen that in text files with blank lines in them. Try cleaning that up and see if it helps.

    Now that I think about it, the bigger database could probably be cut back to weekly or even monthly full backups, and nightly diff backups. Or...

  • RE: better way to write union

    It looks like it could all be one query, without unions at all, if you were to use either nested IsNull, or (better yet) Coalesce.

  • RE: Transaction logs have stopped on all SS2005 DB's

    Are you expecting a certain amount of growth in them per day? That's kind of unusual, if so.

    Have you taken a look at setting the maximum RAM available for...

  • RE: SQL Slammer

    Yeah, there were (and are) problems with vendors specifying that you have to remain unpatched on supporting software like SQL Server.

  • RE: Subquery Returns No Rows when there are NULLs and "NOT IN" is used

    Because "null" technically means "unknown value". If you aren't sure what a value is, can you really say that it isn't 3 or A or whatever? Thus, Where...

  • RE: Change from Full to Simple Recovery, what to do with the Log file?

    Sounds like a good plan to me, too.

    Regarding the smaller database, does it actually need nightly backups? If the data is as volatile as I think it is, would...
