    Ok, I need to write something.

    Article requests?

    How about: Partitioning for performance, what it really means. 😛

    Hey, I'm just going off that one thread where the OP insisted partitioning was his (or her) silver bullet. 😀

    You should have pointed that OP to that article.

    Actually...

    I've just finished an editorial titled "The scientific method." (it's in Tony's hands). How about a companion article on testing performance-related changes?

    Not sure if Jeff has one of those already and don't want to step on toes.

    Even if he has one, yours would probably be from a different perspective and/or present the information in a different way. I see both as a win/win.

    I'll write one and then you can correct it.

    If you mean recovery models, I've done those before. If now, please clarify?

    No, sorry, I wasn't referring to the recovery models, meant repair/restore, single page, DBCC WRITEPAGE etc.

    That's not an article, that's a small book.

    With your short and concise style, it could fit into an article:-D

    Not touching that one. 🙂

    However it did make me think of one I've been considering for a while - advanced backup/restore options. Striping, mirroring, partial restores, piecemeal restores, page restores (maybe, I wrote an entire chapter on that in one of the MVP Deep Dives and it took 10 pages to do justice to)

    Appreciate that but even if I did, Lynn is correct... more than one opinion is always a help for folks.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
