    Damn... Thats pretty good. 🙂 So the standard will be pretty high... Then my article is probably going to be rejected... :hehe:

    I'm not sure how high the standard will be. Look at who they have running the silly thing.

    Less, but the article length requirement here is not as long. You don't go through a technical editing process. You don't go through a copy editing process... In short, you'll earn that other money and if you break it down on a hourly basis... You get paid more here.

  • SSC pays $25.00 for each published article. The last two articles I have had published here were done for free as I had originally published them on sswug.org, which pays more but actually provides much less exposure.

    My "Deleteing Large Number of Records" article, for instance, has had 1082 views on sswug.org since being published on 5/26/2009 compared to 16,500 since being published here on SSC on 9/15/2009. My other article, "The Dynamic Tally or Numbers Table", republished today on SSC has had 624 views since being published on 6/1/2009 on sswug.org compared to 1,685 view already here.

    You have to decide which is more important. I still want to write for sswug.org, but I also want to write for ssc as well. I will have balance what I write and for whom. The content of these last two articles I really felt should have had better exposure than the got on sswug.org because of the content.

  • Hello Threadites. Can someone check this. I can only see a single SPID in the deadlock information posted here, but someone else is seeing lots more. Is something wrong with my browser (entirely possible since the company has me stuck on IE 6).

    Well there's coming to town and there's coming to town. I'll be speaking to Columbus from Grafton, Massachusetts. We're doing a live meeting. Should be fun though.

  • Anyone want to take a look at this one? It's about statistics aging and query performance. I gave an answer, but I'm not sure that I'm on the right track. I don't think it has to do with out of whack stats, but re-use of a poor execution plan.

    I was watching that one because I was quite honestly stumped by the question.

    Some (not me, of course) would suggest that this is preferable to visiting...:hehe:

    Hmmm, and I thought I got the answer I gave from your book :-D. Maybe it was from a blog post somewhere.

    I'm not going to take credit for it, but it's entirely possible that's the issue. Actually you should have the OP see if he's seeing recompiles of the procedure rather than focusing on the statistics.
