Very strange. I'd keep an eye on System Monitor in case it happens again. Maybe have it run continuously with a 1 minute interval and then you'll have some...

Send it to me James and I'll upload it. Address above.

Definitely a shortage of women. I had a few women write editorials a couple months ago. Search for "women in...

Thanks for the replies and a couple of thoughts.

First, MS has typically done "two releases" of the same platform. 6.0/6.5 were essentially the same product. v7/2000 were really close. In...

No order required. 70-431 gives you the MSTS cert, but you can take them as you want.

I took 441 as the beta, then 443, then 444, then 431. It was...

I finally took it and it was 30-some multiple choice, all different areas in SS2K5. The simulations are various tasks. Like you need to add a login, set the default...

Steve, if you can, I'd go with a separate database for each client, single SQL Server installation. If there are some issues between installations, this should protect you.

Stupid avatars, not stupid question. It's some very strange security issue that I have not figured out. Send your picture and registered email to sjones @ sqlservercentral.com and I'll upload...

Whoever posted about the storage in AD, that makes sense. However the problem is still we take these...

Checked system monitor for anything eating up IO/Memory/CPU?

Strange. Not sure why it would be slow. You running to new files or the same file over and over? Or appending?

What's the...

For Dev/test, it's fantastic. We used to create images of a setup, then shut down VMWare and back up the file. Start it and run testing. Need to restart? Shut...

OK, it's been changed to say a budget of $1500.

And great debate and points raised (other than about my choice of words )

Thanks for posting and glad I could get you to think

I thought SSIS was supposed to be much faster than DTS, though to...

I was kind of surprised at the response, but nice to see everything thinking about their career. And I'm glad that I'm not the only one that likes the relatively...

The only way is through network/firewall or an OS firewall limit. The IP coming through to SQL Server is submitted by the client and not necessarily the real IP. By...

The original poster is talking about logins. Database access is through USERS, not logins. There is a mapping, but if you call them both logins you'll get confused.

If a user...
