  • RE: Stored Proc that creates excel business / financial reports

    GSquared (11/19/2010)


    You're trying to get SSIS to output an Excel file, right?

    Just about any documentation on SSIS will tell you how to do this. Just Bing/Google/whatever "ssis export excel"...

    A proc? No. SSIS can do that easily.

    Can you reference an SSIS article that outlines how to accomplish this?

    GilaMonster (11/11/2010)


    That should be fine. Check sys.dm_exec_requests, see what the wait type is.

    The wait_type is NULL.

    At this point is it okay to just drop it and attempt to re-restore using...

    ps. (11/11/2010)


    was the instance restarted? if yes it may take a while to roll forward transactions which depends on certain configuration settings.

    That's recovering, not restoring.

    The DB will go into...

    I have a database stuck in 'restoring' but there is no restore progress in the sql logs. Should I just let it continue?

    Was this DB restored from...

    Note that the DB with the 7gb log file is now in FULL recovery.

    You do have log backups scheduled?

    Yes.

    I will shrink the file and set auto shrink on the database options page.

    Good idea, if you want to absolutely cripple database performance, fragment your indexes to hell...

  • RE: Avg. Index Fragmentation % Still the Same after Maintenance

    GilaMonster (10/8/2010)


    Way, way, way too small to worry about.

    Under 24 pages, an index rebuild will likely do nothing at all. It's generally considered that 1000 pages should be about the...
