  • Reply To: What does "SET XACT_ABORT ON" mean?

    I suggest you always explicitly set XACT_ABORT, either ON or OFF.  After that, you just need to understand the implications of  the XACT_ABORT setting.

    If it's OFF, you may have parts...

  • Reply To: Loop thru DIRs and COPY latest BAK file to our DR Dir

    SQL creates a table entry for all db backups.

    Look in table "msdb.dbo.backupset" to find the lastest full backup datetime for each db, and link to table "msdb.dbo.backupsetfamily" to find the...

  • Reply To: Setting data compression on a database or even server level possible?

    You'd want to make sure PAGE compression was actually appropriate for each specific table first.  In certain cases, page compression doesn't do enough good to make it worth SQL's effort...

    Yeah, those scalar ops can be ignored as far as performance goes, as long as they aren't repeated a million times or so.
