I'm posting this job script because it gets used by my scheduler script. It simply enumerates through each database on the server, and then executes a DBCC SHRINKDATABASE. The only wrinkle here is that I have it do a quick check to make sure that certain jobs are not already running.

I've included this job script, because it is used by the scheduler scripts that I've also posted. This job is a little more involved than most may need... It first checks to see if certain jobs are running. Is so, it waits for a while, and then checks again. After that it drops the existing […]

Here is a port from the Oracle's TRANSLATE function to T-SQL. It gets three arguments: a string to be searched, a string with a set of characters to be found and replaced, and another set of characters as the replacements. Example: SELECT dbo.TRANSLATE('ABCDE', 'BD', 'CE') It will return 'ACCEE'.

For all tables in the current database, it will script the DBCC command to reset the identity seed to 1 for all columns using them. Very handy for data migration.

This script will allow you to create a stored procedure that will check a server for any jobs that have failed in a specified number of days. It has proven valuable to me, since I have servers with lots of jobs that run frequently; I got tired of checking the history of each job to […]

Problems with error 512 more than 1 result returned due to the operator outside of the query. Found this when tested with multiple blocks going on at once. It worked fine when there was only 1 block. Depending on the type of server there can be a "whole lot of blocking going on "Replaced with […]

This uses sp_MStablespace from an article on this site and a cursor to run against all tables in the context of the db it is called in. One catch is it does not like table names with spaces.
