    We do have ASK.SQLServerCentral.Com if you really prefer posting to a place with a reputation system.

    The thing is, some questions lend themselves to that...

    Now that I am 'semi-retired', I still read the editorials every day and trawl through the forums. Am I sad or just keeping the brain going?

    Hopefully I...

    However, in a corporate or government IT environment (100 - 10,000 employees) this is problematic, because help desk now has to support multiple operating systems. Also, it's...

    I certainly wouldn't be happy if I were expected to buy a laptop or similar

    for work-purposes.

    I can understand this, but is it fair? Lots of industries are required...

    I have to agree with Gus' comments. I was required to have McAfee anti-performance installed which makes it about 3 times longer to...

    I have seven development PCs sitting here at my desk, including a "souped-up" one that cost over $5K. Add in a 21" monitor, a ScanSnap scanner, and a...

    And yes, development licenses for some software are expensive.

    Try adding up Visual Studio, Altova XML Spy and Embarcadero ER-Studio to name 3 of the tools I routinely use.

    There...

  • RE: file keeps growing depsite being 50% empty

    Jason is right here. I was asking for clarification to understand if you were talking logs or data.

    You should never shrink data files as part of regular maintenance. Ever. It's...

  • RE: file keeps growing depsite being 50% empty

    OK, I'm confused.

    The TRUNCATE ONLY is for the backup of the log, correct?

    Do you have a 300GB data file, or database? Are you shrinking the data file somehow?...

    Have you tried something like this to be sure of the contents:

    http://www.sqlservercentral.com/scripts/Miscellaneous/30852/

    Are you sure the file is growing? Meaning have you detected auto grows, or monitored the actual file size?...

  • RE: What are the Ramifications of Renaming the Windows OS Default Administrator Account

    I'd change the db owners to a new account, since it shouldn't affect anything if you make the change. Use "sa" or another real account.

    For the other stuff, I...
