  • RE: Replication

    I know I keep banging on about PULL replication

    Totally agree, as long as the load of the subscription doesn't impact performance. This will require, in the words of MS, testing...

    If that configuration is working for you, keep it.

  • RE: Replication

    Pujain, you need to provide much more info, such as number of publications/publishers. Number of subscribers. Number of articles in the package. Is the distributor a remote that is...

    Homebrew

    Doesn't that mean it worked on a system table ?

    Since the link was for a 2008 R2 system, I tested it there.

    I ran

    DBCC INDEXDEFRAG(master,spt_values, 1)

  • RE: DBCC INDEXDEFRAG

    Paul

    I think that's a pretty thin argument, to be frank

    That may be, but in this case the answer doesn't match the question.

  • RE: DBCC INDEXDEFRAG

    Good question, but the answer does not match the question. The question does not ask about whether the command is being depricated. The answer is actually in the link posted,...
