  • RE: QOD testing section

    Shazam!

    It wasn't too hard. It's up there for already answered questions.

  • RE: ordering exam insurance

    I think it's still available. There was a trial for a free copy of TechNet for a year if you bought it before May 31, so the FAQ might not...

  • RE: QOD testing section

    Good idea. I'm out camping for the next few days, but I'll take a look and see if I can get this working.

  • RE: Small Management

    Karen,

    That's very cool. I suppose a small web app or custom app like this would make it easier. TS is definitely not what I'd prefer.

  • RE: Fathers

    Ouch, boo, keep your day job.

  • RE: Fathers

    While Mr. Gore might want to make the claim, from my pre-Clinton days, I remember Mr. Cerf as the guy.

    The 12 rules are coming out in a day or so,...

  • RE: Verifying SQL server backups - how do I tell if they failed

    I've always set scripts that check the actual backup files on the disk. That way I can be sure I have a backup file, get it's size (useful for growth...

  • RE: Odd Question

    Might have lost the secure channel with the domain controller. I've seen this happen, though you usually see an SSPI error when it occurs.

    It can be annoying to not have local admin rights on Windows, but it's never been a big deal to me. If there are things I need done, then someone...

  • RE: Data Verification

    If your indexes are up to date, count(*) works great. I'd take the performance hit and use every measure you can think of to verify the data is there. A...

  • RE: Nic Teaming

    Do you mean the binding of two NICs to increase bandwidth? Never had that much traffic and with GB Ethernet, you'd really have to be pumping data.

    I have done multi-homing...

  • RE: Backing up database before rolling out schema changes

    I like Michael's advice, though it doesn't help recoverability if a schema change happens at 5pm and you've got 60-some off logs to restore. One thing you can add is...

  • RE: Server Consolidation

    All of the above thoughts are good ones, in my opinion. And 64-bit should definitely be considered if you can buy new hardware.

    The reason you don't see much written on...

  • RE: Very Big Data Files

    I'm not sure I've seen recommendations for sizing with a particular file. Usually it's because of space recommendations. It's also a nice tool if you have sections of read-only data....

  • RE: Move columns to the left if there are NULLs in output

    This violates a cardinal rule of data sets in that you are now having the first column, column one, representing data from different physical columns. I suppose you could have...
