  • RE: Optimizing Queries: Disadvantages of using Temp Tables?

    Since SQL will build a derived table (subquery) in tempdb anyway, if it's big enough to warrant that, I don't usually consider that a significant factor, either positive or negative.

    Good points, Tom.

    The problem isn't the people trying to learn "software engineering" or "software crafting". Not directly anyway. The problem is the same one I see in just...

  • RE: Virtualization and Preparation

    A disaster is an emergency you haven't prepared for.

    I like the linked blog post. Flat spare tire = untested backup (or similar) is a good metaphore.

  • RE: Month Names display order incorrect in reports (using Cube data)

    You'll need a numeric column for the month number and have the report sort on that.

  • RE: decimal or money

    Some of it's cooked into the CPU. Some might also be Microsoft. I'd hit Google/Bing/whatever to look for details.

    Good catch!

    However, I checked the owner of the job in the maintenance plan, it is me and it's dbo and it has access to the fn.

  • RE: batch files

    I'm not sure what you're asking for. What precisely do you mean by "masking"? (Sorry, it brings up images of paiting rooms for me.)

  • RE: SAN ity?

    I'm pretty used to having the data and log files on a SAN. The executables are usually installed locally, but that's pretty much it.

  • RE: Is this a SQL 2005 bug?

    Then it's almost certainly something to do with the UDF dbo.fnUserAccess.

    Guessing by the name, that function will return a 1 or a 0 based on user permissions. It's possible...

  • RE: Must i use the property UNIQUE in a table auto-increment?

    You don't have to have a unique index on an identity column. It's pretty normal to do so, but not required. Is that what you're asking?

    I'm not sure, but it seems like you're in an idea position to fire up some simple tests and find out for yourself.

  • RE: SQL SERVER 2005 Clustering DISK SPACE

    If adding disk space is transparent to the OS, then it'll be transparent to SQL. Converse is also true.
