check your dateformat so you know which day is which. For example, for me in the US, Sunday is 1.

The previous Friday is simple math. So for today, I subtract...

I'm not sure I'm understanding. Are you dropping the results from DBCC INPUTBUFFER into another table? And then are you trying to update something else? Maybe you could give more...

Or this:

drop table MyTable

create table MyTable

( myid int

)

go

insert mytable select 1

insert mytable select 10

insert mytable select 12

insert mytable select 17

insert mytable select 21

select a.MyID

, (b.myid - a.myid - 1) 'blanks'

go

reconfigure with override

We're digging in. It has to be something with the forum software. All the other dates in ASP and on other sites are working in US format. Servers are set...

It also depends on your OS. Some can detect cores, some detect the threading (so hyperthreading on appears as 2).

Windows XP can detect multiple logical processors, but not physical ones....

How much data are we talking about? I'd be surprised if you get much optimization this way.

There isn't a way inside SQL Server to do this easily. Any...

Is Autoclose turned on?

There's no good way to determine when stored procedures have been used. Profiler works or if you can "touch" the stored procedures, you can add a line of code to...

Call PSS. Consistency errors are not worth screwing with.

I think you'll have to just make guesses based on sizes and then queries / sec for them. The best thing you can do, however, is setup internal DNS entries...
