  • RE: Executing a script from SQL Server

    I avoid putting the actual SQL in the steps because it creates a point of maintenance. I'd rather create a stored proc and change that if needed.

    Not sure what you...

  • RE: disk space free/total disk space

    Perhaps it had a security validation issue for a mapped drive? Sometimes MyComputer hangs when searching for a mapped drive before it times out and displays the "x" for not...

  • RE: Sports Ranking SQL Problem

    What I think you will have to do is have separate queries for each round. You would then need to process these to find out which people have not progressed...

  • RE: Database Size?

    The total space is the amount used on disk by the mdf/ldf files. The unallocated is the space in the mdf file that is not used.

    So, if I create a...

  • RE: MSDE for SQL 2000?

    There is a SQL 2000 version, same limitations. It's a 5 user (roughly) version.

  • RE: Worst Practices - Objects Not Owned by DBO

    I agree with Andy overall. In ten years of working with SQL Server, ownership chains cause many more problems than they solve.

    The only place where I have seen them useful...

  • RE: Baseline processes to monitor ?

    In general, most monitoring software uses Windows APIs, same as Performance monitor and the load is minimal. The main exception is the disk monitors, though in Windows 2000, these are...

  • RE: Push FTP

    Personally I hate installing new software on my servers. I built this solution so that I could quickly and easily move this solution to another server without worrying about registering...

  • RE: Query Execution Plan

    Nothing should have changed, but it is possible that the query plans were lost or the stats were removed with the service pack.

    You might start with the sP. recompile it...

  • RE: extended stored procedure

    Ditto. Unless MS posts the code for an xp somewhere (I haven't seen any), it is unlikely you will get the code.

    you can email sqlwish@microsoft.com and ask.
