  • RE: Stairway to SQL Server Agent: Step 1: Setup and Overview

    Anipaul (3/9/2011)


    Will all the stairway articles later published in a book for collection? The articles are great...

    This is probably what we will do when they are completed. So once we...

  • RE: Testing Code On Cold Buffer Cache?

    Jim has explained this well. It's mostly so you can get a valid comparison of two different sets of code that do the same thing. You can't count on these...

  • RE: Avoiding Logging

    taylor_benjamin (3/8/2011)


    Wow! That really goes back. Yes, the first MS version of SQL Server was to take Sybase and port it to run on OS/2.

    I am not sure, but as...

  • RE: Transaction log back up

    T-Log backups typically don't have a huge impact on performance, but there is writing to the IO subsystem, so there could be some contention there, depending on your setup. If...

  • RE: Moving a DB from one HDD to another

    Anthan has the best suggestion I've seen. I might do some metrics, maybe a large copy to the disks or something to test the current performance, and then another test...

  • RE: i get an error when i try to insert data ino tables

    If the log grew, shrinking isn't necessarily the solution. It fixes things, but please read Gail's (GilaMonster) article and make sure you have full backup set up.

  • RE: Reindexing Necessity

    I think you'd be better copying the data into a new table, with the changed data type, then building nonclustered indexes, then renaming the old, and rename the new.

  • RE: script for backup files

    So, you're still saying this is simple, but it's not as simple as you ask.

    If this is the same server instance, then names matter. If this is another instance, then...

  • RE: BCP out

    Possible that -c is causing an issue. I wouldn't expect that, but a quick test ought to fix it.

    However if the data is wrong in the source tables, the bcp...

  • RE: SQLServerCentral Best Practices Clinic: Part 1

    Besides the obvious filegrowth setting issues mentioned previously, one thing I found was there was not much use of filegroups. One of the things I like to do...

    Thanks for reminding me how old I am, and how long I have been working with SQL Server. 🙂

    What...

  • RE: BackupDiskFile::OpenMedia: Backup device

    Thanks for the update, and a good catch.

    I might set a script to do all these things before and after the DR test, so that you have a set start...
