  • RE: Full backup Scenario

    Paul White NZ (4/1/2010)


    Thanks, everyone. Glad I am not the only one to find this whole area fascinating.

    Yes, I do too [for reasons unfathomable]

    And I'm glad I kinda kicked...

    But a single select statement may write more pages than can be held in RAM and this means that dirty pages get to disc

    "Insert statement", I believe?

    Yes,...

  • RE: Full backup Scenario

    On a restore, first all data pages are restored; then the log entries included in the backup are used to

    a) roll forward any transactions that were committed while the backup...

  • RE: T-SQL 2008

    I didn't know that CUBE and ROLLUP were non-standard in 2005 but are different in 2008. That's good; I've learned something.

    Also, if Itzik says that something about SQL Server...

  • RE: Part 2: Why you should be using the Full Recovery Model

    ... other types of database that would not necessarily be suited to operation under the Full Recovery Model include ... databases that experience discrete infrequent modifications.

    I cannot agree with you...

  • RE: Part 2: Why you should be using the Full Recovery Model

    From the title of this article, I was expecting much more on why I should be using the Full Recovery Model. Instead, I got an introduction to data loss...

  • RE: Part 2: Why you should be using the Full Recovery Model

    If you would like the default recovery model to be Full, then change the recovery model on the model database.

  • RE: Using SSIS to zip files and email the zipped files

    It's nice to see zipped files being used by SSIS, and most of the article was good, but surely there's a bug in this code:

    If Len(strDay) = 1 Then

    strMonth =...

  • RE: Partition Functions

    There are two facts needed to answer this question correctly:

    1) RANGE LEFT is the default.

    2) Partitions start numbering at one, not zero.

    I was only half-way there.

  • RE: Exponent Engima

    I have to admit, I was totally distracted by the caret, and didn't even consider bitwise ops. Nice distraction.

    There are problems with the question, though.

    Why is @b-2...

  • RE: SQL Server 2008 SSMS Enhancements - Part I

    An average article. From the title I expected much more than brief mention of two new features. And no, the splash screen doesn't count.

    Pasting screenshots of cool features does...

  • RE: Microsoft DPM

    I have struggled to understand this article not because of the technical content but because of the strange punctuation, inconsistent tenses, and pathetic grammar. Either English is not your...

  • RE: Question of the Day for 10 Aug 2005

    Badly written?  I must agree.

    If one of your intended incorrect answers is "There is a error in Statement X" then you must make absolutely sure that there is no error...

  • RE: Question of the Day for 02 Jun 2005

    Answer # 3:  @var LIKE '[0-9,A-Z]%'

    This matches strings whose first character is a digit, a letter, or a comma, followed by anything.

    [Ignoring for now the discussion about collation]
