  • RE: Disk configuration

    With RAID1 you lose spindle aggregation - such that it is with just 4 drives in the RAID10.

    Even with my specified condition of:

    database filegroups with two files, one on each...

  • RE: Disk configuration

    agree on the whole but you would almost certainly notice some performance degradation whilst the RAID1 or 5 array is being rebuilt.

    True, but RAID1 with a good controller should not...

  • RE: Temp Tables

    The author clearly meant #2. Most of us were reading #1. The wording is definitely ambiguous.

    I suppose it's somewhat ambiguous.

    But #2 is so illogical and extreme given everything...

  • RE: Disk configuration

    Being a DBA, I'm as concerned with recoverability/"livability" as with speed.

    Having all your data and log files on one RAID5 provides no inherent recovery capability. Are the SQL trans...

  • RE: Temp Tables

    2. A Table Variable can have primary keys and indexes defined

    Baloney.

    "Defined" is inherently an action, not a state.

    You cannot "define an index" on a table variable in SQL Server.

    If the...

  • RE: Temp Tables

    When read literally, today's question is simple and straightforward.

    Quite true. The second part is clearly false, since "When [you are] dealing with table variables, ...", you cannot define indexes...

  • RE: Temp Tables

    If that is the case, are there any advantages to using a table variable over a temp table? ...

    Is there actually any advantage over using a session scoped temp table?

    AFAIK,...

  • RE: Temp Tables

    "A Table Variable can have primary keys and indexes defined." I don't see the word "you" in there. Can indexes be defined on a table variable? Well, they can exist,...

  • RE: Comparison Across Columns

    Computed columns are generally very efficient.

    Also, they keep the column name the same for everyone -- CTEs get re-coded and so the column names can vary greatly from one piece...

  • RE: Comparison Across Columns

    if I included those computed columns and accessed the table via a SELECT * query elsewhere, would it also return those columns?

    Yes. In that case, SQL would consider that...

  • RE: Database Object Owner

    You could use a DDL CREATE_TABLE trigger to:

    1) rollback the CREATE TABLE if the schema is not dbo (this should greatly help in forcing others to explicitly change their code...

  • RE: Merge Statement

    Yes, MERGE would be applicable to that scenario.

  • RE: Comparison Across Columns

    Unfortunately, I can't add anymore columns to the existing table without causing it to bloat up more.

    Keep in mind that computed columns are NOT physically stored in the table,...

  • RE: Comparison Across Columns

    Since there's only three dimensions being tested, I wonder if it's easier to just add computed columns to the base table and do all the calcs inline in one query,...

  • RE: You do not have permission to use the bulk load statement

    A sysadmin can't be denied anything in SQL Server, so something else is going on here.

    Is this a SQL login or a Windows login?

    If W, is it a group or...
