  • RE: Want one values with similar ids

    Rather than just give us data and results, explain the problem. What should the query be doing to return the results? Are you saying you want one value? The "first"...

  • RE: SQL Server features and VMWare

    You shouldn't have to worry about a VM environment as a SQL Server admin, unless you have perf problems. Tracking those down can be challenging since you need to somehow...

  • RE: log backup very large after full backup

    The log backup has nothing to do with the full backup. It's all activity since the last log backup.

    What activity has taken place since the last log backup?

  • RE: Primary or Unique Key on table accepting bulk load

    The key prevents duplicates. As to what fails in the load, the transaction with the dup fails. If that's the entire load, the entire load fails. You can commit in...

  • RE: Service Broker doubt

    It depends what you mean by activate. Just turn it on, no. If you enable queues and something puts data in them, then it could affect performance if the queues...

  • RE: A Computer Goes to College

    I think some of the idea here is to see if we can do, or the DeepQA stuff can do, what Eric suggests. I thought I'd read the the medical...

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    Grant Fritchey (2/7/2013)

    Brandie Tarvin (2/7/2013)


    Discourse apparently does not like me. I can't seem to get it loaded.

    I'll try again later.

    They reimage the system regularly, and I've had some flakiness. My guess is...

    Miles Neale (2/7/2013)


    Back in 1975 IBM or one of it's team unofficially stated it would take a two story computer the size of the state of Texas to replicate the...

  • RE: Discourse.org

    I think they've moved to tags instead of categories, which I like. That's one thing I'd liket o have here.

  • RE: Are the posted questions getting worse?

    I sent this to a few people, but anyone with comments on this platform, please feel free to post them. I've set up a forum here for feedback, comments, discussion,...
