  • RE: Using BULK INSERT with a non delimited flat file

  • RE: Using BULK INSERT with a non delimited flat file

    In your FMT file, you need to set up for each field the field type, length. I believe (it's been awhile) that you can tell it which position the start...

  • RE: Using BULK INSERT with a non delimited flat file

  • RE: Distribution cleanup job failing - transactional replication

    What size is your distribution database? How many packages and subscribers do you have? How long do you keep your history?

    I found that in larger replication systems that the clean-up...

  • RE: Indexed Views

    sknox

    I created a view with more than one index, and the query optimizer would use the second (nonclustered) index in Enterprise editions, or with the NOEXPAND hint

    The point I was...

  • RE: Indexed Views

    Hugo

    And I have never seen a real-world case where there was more than a single index on a view

    Does that mean that there couldn't be more than one? Does that...

  • RE: Raid for a data warehouse

    This has been a subject of great debate and opinions, but I would suggest RAID 5 or RAID 50 for the data files in order to best obtain read performance.

    Simha

    Try to increase Virtual Memory

    The problem with this is that paging would increase as items are swapped between RAM and Virtual wouldn't it?

    SQLPhil,

    Your first issue, as I see it is the very low memory on the box. The biggest issue is that with Replication, each of the agents running uses memory both...

  • RE: Replication - High memory usage when running Snapshot

    How many subscribers are there on the box?

    How many packages?

    Is the distributor on the same box as the database?

    Paul White
