    Tom.Thomson (3/31/2010)[hrOK, fair enough - but actually this time I was teasing Peter about his comment that you dislike T-SQL, not getting at Ron.

    Oh right, cool!

  • RE: An interesting thing about isnull

    Hugo Kornelis (4/1/2010)

    D'oh! Of course, of course, of course ...thanks!

    Yes, we can. Didn't I already...

  • RE: An interesting thing about isnull

    Hugo Kornelis (3/31/2010)


    ...I submitted a bug report... a case I constructed, based on this discussion, where COALESCE(..., 1) may erroneously return NULL (which should of course never happen).

    Voted, repro'd, and...

    I'm sorry that I keep arguing, but I just can't let this rest...

    Hey, no worries...I do not see this as arguing - it is a fascinating debate! ...

  • RE: Advice on an OR statement

    Another thing I should mention: the current clustered index is not a great choice for the clustered index.

    The key is not outrageously wide (at 15 bytes), but inserts are likely...

  • RE: Advice on an OR statement

    Thanks for the index definitions - though in this case, they did not help. Never mind.

    If your query plan shows a single seek instead of two, it is likely...

    Adam Machanic summarizes his testing here.

    can you please put your reply question by question saying this needs to be scripted and this needs to be reconfigured...etc.. thanks...

  • RE: SQL 2008 Compressed Backups

    Lynn Pettis (3/31/2010)


    But I also think it would be nice if there was an encryption option when doing backup/restore operations as well. I also think that native compression should...

  • RE: SQL 2008 Compressed Backups

    Lynn Pettis (3/31/2010)


    No, no, no. I have looked at it, but in our environment, using TDE may be a little much at this time. Restoring copies of production...

    My point there, as here, is that...

    Lynn Pettis (3/31/2010)


    People keep saying that, but no one ever really explains why. HyperBac didn't seem to have any problems with encryption and compression when I tested it. ...
