    Yes, it did :-).

    A shrink is reasonable after you've deleted a lot of data. After the shrink, you can decide if you want to shrink the file to release...

  • RE: How to extract part of a string?

    Edit: In your original, change the INNER JOIN condition to this:

    Who comes up with such ridiculous, useless qs? And why on earth would a dba want to waste value time and brain space memorizing such trivialities??

    You could do a simple split of the string based on a "-", if needed, then use ISDATE() on one/both entries. That would tell you if SQL recognized it...

    This was my prototype:

    create table #statuses (statusName varchar(50), statusID int)

    insert into #items values ('Item 1',1|2|8)

    You can use bigint, doubling the bits from an int ;-).

  • RE: check how many rows delete updated per day and store it in another table?

    SQL does sort of track modification counts (for indexes, not heaps), but the data is cumulative and does necessarily persist. Look at view:

    However, while an index is...

    The table design is probably less than ideal/perfect.

    However, the query can still be improved, hopefully dramatically. Keep in mind that I don't have sample data to test it ahead...
