  • RE: Log Shipping to 2 seperate databases on single secondary server

    I think the issue is that the filenames when they are copied are the same, and so the wizard fails.

    My guess is that you would want to script out the...

  • RE: TSQL Question about getting data

    You wouldn't use a variable, and you wouldn't go through each row.

    If I understand, what you likely want to do is use a CASE statement for the other fields. In...

  • RE: Getting always same 2 rows in first results.

    To guarentee some rows as first, you'll need a query to get just those two rows and then union that with your query to get other rows.

    Your sample data doesn't...

  • RE: Varchar or Char?

    Great discussion, and nice points (as always), Hugo!

  • RE: Investing In Your Career

    I agree with Silverfox here. Don't take the "a degree/certification/etc shows an effort" to mean that the lack of it shows no effort. They aren't equivalent.

    If you have them, or...

  • RE: Great DBA’s in History

    I'd like to say Teddy Roosevelt, but I think he's a classic DBA. Strong willed, a bit of a bully, and pushing things through with a sheer force of will...

  • RE: Afraid of Help

    Fair enough, and thanks for the comments. To some extent I agree with your view of it.

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    How big, how much common data?

    If there's any chance for one causing issues on the server, especially with heavy tempdb usage, and might require it's own server, I'd say...

  • RE: Reindex - database grow

    Terry is correct. The space is available to be re-used by the next reindex job, or by data growth, but the file size does not shrink as far as the...

  • RE: Manager of One

    I think you're missing out by ignoring blogs as well. First, if it's not their writing, I think you'll see that in the interview. What they put on their blog...

  • RE: Working at Microsoft

    I know quite a few people that still enjoy Microsoft, both inside SQL Server and outside of it. Meeting some of the developers and PMs at the MVP Summit was...

  • RE: Need Help seperating data in SQL

    string manipulation can be a bit tricky. I think Garadin has you on the right track for part of it.
