  • 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...

  • RE: File Fragmentation of MDF File

    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...

  • RE: Convert Access SQL to SQL Server

    If your date is not null, but is actually an empty string - the empty string is evaluated as a 0 which is 19000101. Not sure that is the...

  • RE: mirrored backups

    Okay, then you have specified multiple files for the restore where you only need to specify one of the backup files.

  • RE: mirrored backups

    It sounds like you did not use or create a mirror backup, but instead striped your backup across multiple files.

    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

    Yes, if you backup/restore all databases - the files associated with those databases will be defragmented.

    No technical reason for sizing in MB's - just preference. For me, it just...

  • RE: File Fragmentation of MDF File

    What other files reside on that volume? If there are other files - are they other database files or are they something else? If something else, you should...
