  • RE: Stunned

    I have to wonder what this mystery person thinks a woman who is attending a technical event would choose to talk about--knitting, perhaps? The right shade of red for the...

  • RE: How do you know how much RAM you need?

    Hmmm. That sounds like a reasonable sort of setting provided you aren't running anything else but SQL on the machine--I was thinking SQL server might be trying to take too...

  • RE: How do you know how much RAM you need?

    First question--what's your maximum server memory set to for SQL server?

  • RE: SSMS Slow Open

    Interested to know the answer, because this happens for me as well. (I think it being faster on the second run is just because Windows still has a bunch of...

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    Ed Wagner (8/12/2013)

    If it hasn't ended yet, maybe someone ought to rename it.

    Well, it's a bad name anyway considering the war actually lasted 116 years in our universe. 🙂

  • RE: Sql server memory configuration options

    Of course, if the server has less than 4Gb of RAM, then actually *using* the full 4Gb of virtual address space requires you to swap memory to disk, and that...

  • RE: Review Your Code

    Surely the amnesty cutoff date should be whenever this was posted? 🙂

  • RE: Expressions

    wolfkillj (8/9/2013)

    Or is this documented somewhere (if so, I must admit that my Google-fu is weak today)?

    It's definitely documented (which I wish I'd read before answering the question incorrectly):

  • RE: Expressions

    ok181ko (8/8/2013)


    How about

    newid() = '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000'

    The question is not correct. Answer is 0 (zero).

    The question asked which of the answers were possible outputs of the statement. It never stated that *all*...

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    Stefan Krzywicki (8/7/2013)

    Yep, owned by Oracle, but there's nothing I can do about that. This is going to be a small database for a small non-profit.

    If it's such a small...

  • RE: SQL Server Express with Tools\Advanced for SQL Agent

    There is no Express edition of SQL server that comes with a working SQL Agent, no--if you actually try to start the Agent service you'll find it stops almost immediately....

  • RE: Changing SQLServerCentral - Newsletter Layout

    Steve Jones - SSC Editor (8/6/2013)

    Yes and no. We can allow test to flow, but then layout looks funny at times. If we control it more, we can't easily make...

  • RE: The Human Touch

    Shawn Richards (8/1/2013)

    If the script button it is going to generate what it is going to run then how can the system generate buggy scripts?

    The same way a compiler can...

  • RE: The Human Touch

    That's all true, but I come from a programming background, and I know that you will pretty much never, ever anticipate every daft or incorrect input a user is capable...

  • RE: The Human Touch
