  • RE: SQL Agent Problem

    Andy,

    Thank you for sharing that, most useful. Had a very similar problem with an RLL, but with Enterprise Manager/MMC on a test machine. This was very easy to pinpoint, as...

  • RE: SQL and IIS on the same Box?

    Completely agree with the points made about security David, it's usually what you don't know about that the latest hack will take advantage of. Recognising that, whilst at the same...

  • RE: In the Real World - Lost Data Chains

    Great piece of detective work Steve 😀

    We've a similar problem on a prod. server which occurs once every 4-6 weeks and is proving very elusive to nail down, so may...

  • RE: DB2 A Worthy Competitor?

    Strangely enough, I've had the same experience with Java based tools. We have a very, very expensive risk management product from a major UK based consultancy which is appallingly slow,...

  • RE: Dependency Walker

    Thanks for bringing this to everyone's attention Andy. I've been using Dependency Walker on and off for the last six months to help developers spot problems in a tricky install...

  • RE: Getting Certified

    Good advice Brian, lots of things I'd not picked up on before about exam technique which will certainly help me to focus when I come to do my MCPs. Thank...

    As a project manager you work with the tools that you have. If you have someone on your team who claims extensive...

  • RE: DBA's vs Developers

    Yep, seen a lot of this sort of thing. Comes down to a single issue: Managers who are ignorant of the development process let developers who know nothing about databases...

  • RE: Dynamic SQL or Stored Procedure

    It's much easier to just write the code in the development IDE (where you are in the first place). The other complaint...

  • RE: What's In A Review?

    Crikey, you've cut some work out for yourself Steve. However, I think you have covered all bases with regard to what I'd personally like to know about a product before...

  • RE: 10 Steps to Securing your SQL Server

    Excellent advice Brian. Particularly liked the point about removing BuiltIn\Administrators - we find that the vast majority of our problems over the last six months have been caused by knowledgeable...

  • RE: Worst Practives - Blank Passwords

    Lockouts would be good. Seems mad to me that a developer can't get directly into an NT server on the network without asking for trouble, but can set up a...

  • RE: Worst Practives - Blank Passwords

    Definitely better to use a password, even a simple one, rather than no password. My employer does not have a strong password policy, but before I arrived, a high...

  • RE: How Do You Review a Product?

    Steve,

    I think David's idea for getting us out here in the DBA community to review products is a good idea too. It would have the advantage of taking some of...

  • RE: DBCC SHOWCONTIG

    Carl,

    Overall, that's as good as you can possibly get. You have a very healthy table without any problems, based on that DBCC output.

    You've got 7973 extents in your table, which...
