  • Reply To: CASE Statement with Dates in WHERE clause

    Ooh, right.  I tired to change the sort because you formatted BatchDatte to mm/dd/yyyy which will not sort correctly.

  • Reply To: Database list and the last access date

    SQL Server doesn't store, and thus doesn't know, the "last accessed date" for each db.

    After SQL starts, when any index is accessed, an entry for that db and index is...

    The first two are not full but don't have room to expand by the specified amount.

  • Reply To: Statistics Update Frequency

    That seems about right.  I'd say also consider doing tables every day that get a manual update in 2 days' time; they're close enough to once-a-day anyway to me.  "Better...

  • Reply To: Is this a RBAR?

    The Windowing functions tend to be extraordinarily efficient, so I'd do the request this way:

  • Reply To: pagination with case

    In a CASE <condition> THEN <result>, the <result> must be a single value (technically called a "scalar" value).  Not allowed are SQL keywords or operators (>=, <) as part of...

    "Tell" SQL to always use a full table scan for those indexes that need it.  Do that by running this one time at your convenience:

  • Reply To: How to stop a user creating a new table

    If necessary, you could even add a DDL trigger as a failsafe to make absolutely sure that user doesn't create (or drop) any tables in that db.

  • Reply To: How to stop a user creating a new table

    ALTER ROLE db_datareader ADD MEMBER [your_user_name_here];

    ALTER...
