Are the posted questions getting worse?

    I want an dolphin to take me away from all this, ride the waves and chase the sun.

    Is this your way of saying you're coming down from the mountains?

  • Alvin Ramard (2/17/2010)


    Well, looks like I'm gonna have fun over the next few days. I've decided to upgrade my laptop to Win7 - 64 bits. I love re-installing all my software!!!!

    Enjoy. Be careful if you use iTunes. I had issues on one machine w/ x64, another worked.

    Nope, not anytime soon. I grew up on the ocean, and miss it at times, but I enjoy the mountains.

    Was hoping to sneak out and snowboard tomorrow, but not looking good now. Might need to wait until Sun.

    Not sure what happened, working on a timewarp restore now, as soon as I can get the pwd from IT

    What? It's not "vanilla"?

  • Paul, the QOD does need a slight modification in verbiage.

    Thanks, I do use iTunes, but I don't need it on the laptop. I can run it on the netbook.

    It's a Toshiba laptop. What could go wrong???? :w00t:

    SSC is a secure system - it's p455w0rd :laugh:

    Paul, the QOD does need a slight modification in verbiage.

    Certainly does - and well put!

    For everyone else, the answer in question is:

    "With an exclusive lock, no other transactions can modify data (except for operations with NOLOCK hint or read uncommitted isolation level)"

    Call me unreasonable, but that's not badly phrased - it's wrong. 😉

  • I have no idea what the pwd is, and don't want to know. It's someone else's responsibility.

    I am thinking of setting up a recurring snapshot each night to make this easier in case I do something else stupid.

    Is that an admission to being responsible in some part?

    A gate bangs open and shut in the wind...

    A tumble-weed rolls by...

    It is dark.

    There might be grues.

    Has anyone noticed the success/failure rate on the QOD today?

    74% incorrect for Paul Randal's question on Checksum. Numbers are similar to his question the other day.

    I got the checksum one right, but I had to think about it a bit.

    I foresee SSIS being mentioned 😀

  • Does anyone else read this response

    http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/FindPost867131.aspx

    as implying that using a identity defines order ?

    We don't even know if there is any corruption there. There's nothing I could see in the errors posted that hinted to a cause.

    Could be server down, database dropped, login failures, etc. Suspect DB is the last thing I'd think about, cause it's rare.
