  • RE: Weekend DBA's

    I'm quite usually more busy on the weekends than during the week. So I don't often get to hit SSC on the weekend.

  • RE: Performance issue

    Take a look for "parameter sniffing" online. Gail Shaw's blog has a great article on it. (Blog URL is http://sqlinthewild.co.za/)

  • RE: Simple (?) T-SQL Query Question

    If you use "left(Territory_ID, 4)" in your Select and your Group By, will that do what you need?

  • RE: ExecPlan: cost is so high but the execution is very fast

    Costs aren't really all that reliable. They can be either artificially high or artificially low.

    Why two inserts into temp tables and then a join? Why not just build...

  • RE: help with after update Trigger

    You would need to add Col2 to the Group By clause, for that to work.

  • RE: what are the average salary of junior - intermediate level DBA?

    If you Bing/Google "average salary", the first results should give you what you're looking for. For example, swz.salary.com, given a job and a Zip code, can tell you what's...

    If I understand you correctly, you want to check if there are two rows in the inserted table that have a specific value in one column. Is that correct?

    Great analysis, GSquared, but it also means that we are assuming that the botnet doesn't get a hash of the password.

    That might be nice but I'd rather see them spend the time on improvements to SQL Server itself. For example... some better IO functions for T-SQL. ...

    It is as said an interesting idea but I dont see the value of it because sql server is still very lacking.

    GSquared's botnet math assumes that the more bots you add, the faster the password will get hacked. While there is obviously nothing wrong with the math, and I...
