  • RE: Log shipping VS Replication

    If you need the real time querying, then replication is most likely better. However, in a DR situation, replication can be tricky to set back up. Not only that, what...

  • RE: Overwrite instead of append to file

    If you are trying to resend the same XLS file, you probably want to "drop " the table and then recreate it using 2 T-SQL tasks.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • RE: DMO-Job Monitor

    Stored procedures (my favorite) exist for most every job item you need. It would be easy to also build a GUI interface in ASP/VB/.NET that would manage your jobs.

  • 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...
