  • RE: Convert Access SQL to SQL Server

    I don't have time right at this moment to write it all up - but take a look at the previous query we worked on. The rules appear to...

    That's why I keep stating data files - I've had a few systems where they didn't have mdf/ndf files because someone decided to change it. SQL Server doesn't really...

  • RE: Convert Access SQL to SQL Server

    Using CONVERT to a VARCHAR(20) will not remove the time portion. And, yes - the method I show is one of the fastest methods for zeroing out the time...

    If the data and index files are separated (mdf and ndf), does it matter where the amount of free space is required/needed?

    Do you always beat the Autogrowth before it kicks in (If you suspect from your monitoring that it is going to happen in the next 2 weeks, do you...

  • RE: File Fragmentation of MDF File

    The amount of free space is from experience only. Nothing specific from Microsoft - but 10 years of practical experience has shown that being able to give management 6...

  • RE: how to default to a DB when opening SSMS

    You are welcome - glad I could help.

  • RE: File Fragmentation of MDF File
