  • RE: Query returning one extra record

    ChrisM@Work (8/9/2013)


    One of the items (table sources) in your FROM list has two rows per single row in table Podrobnosti. Since there's no aggregation and all of the other tables...

  • RE: Column Order in an Index

    One thing I didn't see anyone mention is size. An index is likely (not necessarily, of course) smaller than the table, so even in the worst case of a full...

  • RE: Column Order in an Index

    I'm getting a little tired of all the jerkoffs who immediately jump in with comments like "You shouldn't be writing SQL code." Do you suppose anyone believes you were born...

  • RE: Log backups while Full/Differential backups are running

    GilaMonster (4/24/2013)


    You can pretty much say it's the time that the backup completed, because unless you have some odd case where half the database changes during the backup, the data...

  • RE: Log backups while Full/Differential backups are running

    GilaMonster (4/23/2013)


    You write here that the database is consistent as of the completion time. Does consistent mean as it is at exactly that instant?

    No, I said 'close to the...

    So a backup is a 'snapshot' from the moment in time that the backup process was initiated? And operations performed during the backup process do...

    So a backup is a 'snapshot' from the moment in time that the backup process was initiated? And operations performed during the backup process do not get incorporated?

    No,...

    What state are such backups in when they are taken?

    The same state they would be in if they were taken without a full/diff running

    What does a transaction log...

  • RE: Log backups while Full/Differential backups are running

    opc.three (4/23/2013)


    I agree with SQLBob in that I would never want to work for that person. Maybe someone can get this thread under their nose...maybe they'll listen to a chorus.

  • RE: Log backups while Full/Differential backups are running

    GilaMonster (4/21/2013)


    Let's see... what happens when we have a 6-hour full backup duration and a 15 minute data loss SLA and log backups don't run during that full backup?

  • RE: Excuses Execrating Excel

    Doesn't matter what software you use - if you don't understand your data, or if you ask the wrong questions, you're going to get worthless results. Over and over I...

  • RE: Asking for Interview Questions

    GilaMonster (4/18/2013)


    Eric M Russell (4/18/2013)


    Also, tell the candidate up front that all new hires are required to sign an "employment at-will" contract. If they don't measure up, then they'll just...

  • RE: Asking for Interview Questions

    If some interviewer asked me to make him a PB&J, I'd tell him to throw my application in the trash, because I wasn't interested in working for such a clown...

  • RE: The DBA Office

    Currently in the paleontology department's photo-laboratory, which is also the access path to the microscope lab. I'm the only permanent occupant, but almost everyone in the department wanders through here...

  • RE: The Gambler

    Slight hitch in the analogy - insurance payments cost something. Running DBCC checks costs nothing. What did this clown think he was saving by avoiding DBCC checks? A couple seconds...
