    DBCC Timewarp: Active Directory returns to 19 november 2000. New singer Linda Merts for the popular belgium pop/dance group. Waar zijn die handjes?:-D

    Sorry, this airplanes me. What is it supposed to mean?

    This is a Belgian inside joke.

    In 2000 the somewhat popular dance group Milk Inc. got a new singer: Linda Mertens. The DJ of the group has a somewhat ridicilous habit of shouting "Waar zijn die handjes" during concerts, which is translated as "Where are those hands?"

    Not sure what Milk Inc. has to do with Active Directory though πŸ˜€

    After I listened to this group for about ten minutes, and having some experience with Active Directory, I think I found: unless you are a big fan of Dance Electronica and confusing APIs, avoid them. πŸ™‚

    Isn't "avoid them" good advice no matter which dance group somewhat popular in 2000 "them" might refer to?

    I thought I might give them an opportunity to disappoint me, just like Active Directory APIs.

    For some obscure reason they're still popular. They still sell out the biggest venue in Belgium and a few years back they played at Rock Werchter (which has been voted best festival of the world numerous times) alongside Metallica.

    I don't get it either πŸ˜€

  • The interesting thing about this article is the following line:

    The forest root PDC or master time servers in the forest lacked time jump protection

    Then why didn't they just call in the Doctor to fix the problem?

    Or maybe he WAS the problem. @=)

    Okay, so looking at the new ads from redgate on the site, and thinking Steve is obviously Hannibal, which makes Grant...Mr. T?

    No, no, no. I am the pretty guy or the crazy guy.

    Pretty sure you're the scary guy, which means I Pity The Fool...:-P

  • Since a few of you are experienced, we're looking for a few disaster recovery stories on fairly short notice for the week of the 10th. If you want to write up a page or two on something you've dealt with or experienced, we'd love to hear it.

  • Anyone with more patience than me want to try and handle this?

    If pages are read in from disk for a table and there's not space in the buffer pool, other pages will be removed from it, maybe even pages of the same table that have already been read by the query processor.

    Data read by the query processor goes somewhere. When in SSMS, it's outputting to the screen or the file, so it makes sense to me that these pages are cleaned. But has there ever been an instance where the data has nowhere to go yet (still needs other processing before results are presented) that could ... I dunno, cause SQL to error out or seize?

    Or am I asking a silly question?

    No and no.

    Re the first No, I know positively that the SQLS QA guys have tests for these conditions. For example - and it is one out of many -, when a result of an outer join is really big and the server runs out of disk space, the engine is expected to drop the rowset and terminate the query gracefully with an error message, and it apparently does, or the build would not pass.

    That's about where I was going with my question, though I didn't phrase it as gracefully as you phrased the answer.

    Thank you.
