  • RE: Invalid Pointer

    Rebuild the pacakge. I suspect something is corrupt. If you still get this, try it on another client station.

  • RE: Advise me the certification courses.....

    I've started seeing a few jobs in Denver asking for the MCDBA cert, but not many. I think this is mainly to limit the number of resumes from people.

    I...

  • RE: More Powerful Stored Procedure Code?

    Haven't heard that, but I did hear that Stored procedure can be written in VB.NET, C#.NET, etc. IMHO a bad idea. Fundamental differences between the languages (set v row based)....

  • RE: Case Statements

    Agree. There isn't a way to do this (other than dynamic sql, which I don't recommend). Besides, that's what CTRL-C, CTRL-V are for 🙂

  • RE: Oracle Vs SQL Server

    I tend to be biased towards SQL Server, but Antares has great points.

    Oracle is regarded as a more scalable and mission critical product. It has a better track record, but...

  • RE: Security

    Tough to audit everything. Lumigent provides a product that reads the logs, which will capture most of this if not all. You can also run profiler, but that will be...

  • RE: xp_startmail and switching profiles

    Haven't done that much work with Clusters, but I suspect the profile should be on both.

    I agree with Andy. Give CDO a shot and then start a thread here with...

  • RE: Coding Standards - Part 1

    I like things grouped and since procs are usually some sort of function, I use sp (no underscore) to group them initially, then I go by function (Ins, Upd, Del,...

  • RE: Reminiscing

    How else can you look back except from the future :).

    Actually it's not out on the site until the 23. The newsletter subscribers see it a little early, but there...

  • RE: Understanding Your Identity

    I agree with you and as I mentioned, it's probably not a bug.

  • RE: xp_startmail and switching profiles

    Tend to agree with Andy. Don't forget the SQL Mail is a subsystem added on to SQL Server. I'd be wary of switching profiles as you may cause instability on...

  • RE: NEWBEE to DTS - Basic questions..

    Rich,

    There are a few ways to do this, some easier than others. Partly depends on what access you have. If you can create and schedule or run DTS packages, then...

  • RE: xp_startmail and switching profiles

    Are the profiles on the active server? On both? I think you may have issues with the virtual server performing this switch.

  • RE: Understanding Your Identity

    You are welcome. Glad it caught some eyes, but I'm not sure it's a bug anymore. I tend to this this is by design to increase performance.

  • RE: Understanding Your Identity

    You are welcome. Check out DBCCCheckIdent. It will allow you to reseed the identity value (useful when trying to synch two servers), especially in a dev environment. It also lets...
