Update my second...

You could use an AFTER INSERT trigger to insure that the parent id got set to the identity column values ... but you still couldn't define the parent id as...

I would never try to re-run the prod processes to get the data for other environments. That would be a nightmare to keep clean.

One possibility is to mix differential...

As noted, heaps are great for "work" / "staging" tables.

Also, I guess in theory a heap could be more efficient for certain types of tables with multiple nonclust indexes, particularly...

Hi all,

I have a 1T, high I/O database in a SAN environment on which I have planned the database files this way:

L: logfile (8k)

M: mdf file (64k)

N: ndf...

Btw, the column data types are not stored in my documentation tables -- I retrieve them at gen time from system views. This adds a little overhead, but insures...

Again, if you've got unlimited funds, definitely go RAID10 (or SSD) throughout, but because of the better resiliency, even if pure reads are somewhat slower.

Presumably all of us have done...

Used .rtf instead.

The hyperlinks don't work, but it still gives you the flavor.

The underlying html is generated from a table that contains the text documentation.

I'm still working to fully extended...

It really looks like the column is "char(11)" and not "varchar(11)".

Can you verify the column's data type?

You also need to verify that the log LUNs are RAID10 and the data LUNs are RAID5 (typically that is the best performance).
