  • RE: Adding an extra file to TEMPDB

    Maybe it's just an issue I had.

    The last time I altered the SIZE of tempdb data files in SQL, when SQL restarted tempdb files were still larger than that.

  • RE: Is a doomed transaction inevitable if deadlock occurs in a trigger (SQL Server 2008 R2)?

    If XACT_STATE() returns -1 [uncommitable transaction], you can't do anything else except rollback the current transaction. That is a logical restriction within SQL Server itself.

    In that case, you would...

  • RE: Index Consolidation

    Look into clustering the table on column A: that will likely address the issue more effectively and efficiently than a slew of nonclus indexes.

    Here's a quick script to demonstrate the warning and then the actual error that occurs:

    It's just a warning message, unless you actually have a value in that column that exceeds 900 bytes.
