  • RE: The Security of Interconnected Systems

    SQLRNNR (2/17/2014)


    the ability to protect the entire system is dependent on the weakest link

    That needs to be underscored. No matter the system, there is a weakest link.

    The weakest link...

  • RE: General Question on log shipping

    The way I see it, mirroring and clustering are considered "high availability" because they both try to maintain the standby database as an exact copy of the primary (albeit mirroring...

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    GilaMonster (2/7/2014)

    Paid in T-shirts.

    That's how Experts Exchange used to work--you'd get free shirts if you got enough points for answering questions! No idea if they still do that, been a...

  • RE: Odd (n)VarChar Behavior

    Jeff Moden (2/5/2014)

    It's not an "anomoly". As Kevin implied, CHAR(0) is the NULL character. To be honest, I'm surprised that anything at all returned to the screen.

    It's only...

  • RE: The Cloud

    Sean Redmond (2/6/2014)

    My third worry is about the importance of connection. One's Internet connection becomes a lot more vital when one's data and servers are remote. I am too accustomed...

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    L' Eomot Inversé (2/4/2014)Type1 was flawed because (a) not all generators had a MAC address and (b) the rules for the timestamp couldn't work for systems that generated GUIDs too...

  • RE: value() Method (xml Data Type)

    I got the right answer but for the wrong reason--I assumed the XQuery expression would return 3 separate values, which would break the requirement for value() to return only one....

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    Jeff Moden (1/25/2014)Some recent fixes were to relatively simple code that did (and this is not a typo) 10 to 16 TRILLION reads per 8 hour period.

    Wow...by my estimates that's...

  • RE: Management at Scale

    What does "provide more value than they cost" mean? Sounds like you want workers to do more work for the same money, but I'm sure that's not what you *do*...

  • RE: wisdom of creating vms on a brand new machine

    sql4gnt (1/22/2014)


    I was using export virtual appliance, then after moving it to another computer, virtualbox would have issues with the file.

    You were doing a File->Import Appliance at the other end?...

  • RE: wisdom of creating vms on a brand new machine

    sql4gnt (1/22/2014)

    I ran into the same issues that Steve did with the latest virtual box. I wanted to export my rig for other members of the team but with virtualbox...

  • RE: SQLCMD problems

    schleep (1/22/2014)


    What isn't working is getting SQLCMD to run in the context of the user that's login in/out.

    I had assumed that the policy would execute under a system/admin account.

    If...

  • RE: T-SQL Export to CSV help

    There's a -W parameter to SQLCMD that removes trailing spaces from fields--would that work for you?

  • RE: What is the default sa password?

    Jeff Moden (1/13/2014)


    Unless someone changed it, the SA password is the one used when SQL Server was installed.

    But you're not asked to specify an SA password during setup if you...

  • RE: Remote access to SQL Server 2012 R2

    I agree with Elliott--one of those three things is almost certainly what's causing your issue. You say you've managed to start the Browser service, so that's one thing fixed (you...
