  • RE: Mining for Quitters

    The criteria comes from the scientific method. Take some data about people that left, people that didn't, build a model. It will be wrong, gather more data, tweak, etc.

    Will managers...

  • RE: Where is "Maintenance Plan "History" kept?

    There are tables in msdb that hold some details, but most of the stuff that helps you debug or find issues will be in the logs, which are text files...

    My fear is that it could actually contribute to deterioration of the people skills of some managers.

    I have no doubt that will happen with some people. Not sure...

  • RE: TDE - SQL Server 2008

    Correction noted and the explanation fixed.

    I'd have thought msdb could be encrypted, though that would add complexity for SQL Agent.

  • RE: Raw Materials - Green Enterprise

  • RE: Transaction Log file saved as MDF

    The extension doesn't matter, it's a matter of convention. You can detach it, rename it, then attach it back.

  • RE: Comparing Table Variables with Temporary Tables

    I've put it back in the article text, so you can read it online with colored formatting.

    My apologies to Wayne for not getting this done sooner. I thought I...

  • RE: Mining for Quitters

    I agree with you, Jeff, but who do you talk to? I've known plenty of people that were thinking of leaving, and wouldn't want to let their manager know. And...

  • RE: Unable to restore Differential backup

    I don't think a 1 minute Tlog interval is too much. I've run that before and it works OK. HOWEVER, it doesn't mean you won't lose data. The important thing...
