  • RE: Installation - SQL Server Authentication for SSIS

    I'm a firm believer in making communication as personal as possible.

    I'll put requests in writing (that way there's a record), but I prefer face-to-face or voice-to-voice (phone, voice-chat, etc.), over...

  • RE: multiple LEFT OUTER self joins and a View

    Yeah, an indexed (persisted) view would help with lazy spooling. That makes sense.

  • RE: High Data Volume

    SQL Server can handle 20- to 100-million rows no problem, so long as they are well-designed.

    The problem isn't the number of rows, it's the overhead from processing metadata that way.

    If...

  • RE: XML Parser Performance

    Have you looked at adding XML indexes to the columns?

    I've found that parsing out XML is a major performance hog, but with XML indexes it becomes fast and painless.

    You can use OpenQuery to pull data from the ADSI. For example (secure data removed):

  • RE: How to Convert rows into one column

    I just tested this:

    create table #T (

    PT_Window_ID varchar(50),

    PT_UD_Key varchar(50),

    PT_UD_Number int,

    STRGA255 varchar(50))

    insert into #T

    select 'SOPENTRY','L100011',4,'MANUFACTURER' union all

    select 'SOPENTRY','L100011',6,'SHIP' union all

    select 'SOPENTRY','L100011',8,'PACK' union all

    select 'SOPENTRY','L100011',14,'VESSEL'

    SELECT PT_Window_ID, PT_UD_Key, [4], [6], [8], [14]

    ...

  • RE: What Edition of Windows for 8GB+ memory

    Perry Whittle (9/15/2008)


    also, SQL2005 is able to address as much RAM as the NOS will allow 😉

    Depending on the edition of SQL Server, of course.
