  • RE: xp_logininfo not finding user

    opc.three (8/21/2013)


    ... consider a Linked Server configured to connect to and issue queries against AD. Getting a user's group memberships, or a group's members list, is trivial using a Linked...

  • RE: xp_logininfo not finding user

    Well, I got it running using exec xp_logininfo 'nmp\paleoces', 'members'and looping to extract all members. That works, although it seems to me it's asking the same question, just in...

  • RE: Always Abstract

    I do everything myself, application side and database side. I do not allow (myself) access to tables directly. Views, read-only, even if it's just a "SELECT everything FROM table" statement....

    When a valid AD account doesn't have access to the instance, I think you get no results, but when the AD account doesn't exist is when you generally get...

  • RE: Query returning one extra record

    Lucky man! I'd love to have a sideline like this.

  • RE: Query returning one extra record

    ChrisM@Work (8/9/2013)


    You're welcome Mr Danes. Assuming you're a taxonomist first and a programmer second, this is a fairly standard method to identify cardinality issues in a query.

    No, actually I'm primarily...

  • 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...

    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
