  • RE: Scheduling an SSIS Package - No SSIS Option in SQL Agent - SQL 2005

    Nah. The only reason I was asking about edition is because Workgroup doesn't natively support SSIS, and won't run jobs for it. Was just checking for that possibility.

  • RE: SQL Recovery Template

    I would guess that companies where disaster recovery and business continuity are more critical probably have more formal procedures. For example, I would certainly hope that a hospital has...

  • RE: Create Multiple column Primary key on a table that already exists?

    Randy has the commands right, but you'll have to drop the existing primary key first.

    Actually, some of the uses I've seen for Cache (http://www.intersystems.com/cache/) are quite functional. It's a pain to work with, at least what little I've done and...

    You're welcome. Glad we could help.

  • RE: master.mdb .trc files filling up system volume

    Trace ID 3 is the problem, as you found. It's set to not "roll over files", so it's going to just keep adding them forever.

    You could simplify the system tremendously by having tables named "CurrentMonth", "Prior1Month", "Prior2Month", ..., "ReallyOld", or something like that.

    Here's how I'd write the update. You'd have to test on a volume of data to see whether it's enough better to be worth it.
