  • RE: Should SQL Server 6.5 be doing this???

    v6.5 does have some locking issues in places, especially if you make use of temporary tables.

    I'd need more testing, but this doesn't surprise me.

  • RE: Books for MCSE

    Which exam?

  • RE: Restricting import possibilities

    The only way I can think of is to make some utility that will execute BCP or a DTS package and set a row end there. For a data import,...

  • RE: sql editors

    I used DBArtisan and RapidSQL a couple years ago. Nice products, but nothing special over QA. The SourceSafe integration was kind of fuzzy. I used EditPlus for ASP/HTML, and I...

  • RE: PROCESS STUCK

    Profiler snags an event, I believe when the process starts. The last command, should be in DBCC InputBuffer. Are you sure the spid is still active? It might have timed...

  • RE: Transaction Logs & Copying the database

    Antares has great advice. If you use EM to restore on the new server from backup, you change the path's for the files on the "Options" tab.

  • RE: Trigger update sequence

  • RE: Backup to colocation

    How are you transferring? By IP or FQDN (use FQDN) or by hostname? If hostname, then you might have name resolution problems. Setting up a good WINs setup is a...

  • RE: Backup to colocation

    Brian is on a good track. This is likely a security issue.

  • RE: In The Real World - Disaster!

    Only a few users/logins and they were synched with sp_change_users_login (we use SQLAuth). They were added with sp_addlogin because our backup box was "appropriated" a couple months ago for...
