  • RE: Learn to Use Filegroups

    We put everything in default filegroup. Our clients' databases don't exceed 50GB, mostly they are 5-10GB. At least 50% of that is our logging data rather than their...

  • RE: Question re log shipping and transaction log backups

    vmit02 (10/13/2015)


    Adding the JOIN produced 0 results. That means only 1 backup is in each file? which is what it should be.

    That's good to hear! (I was worried...

  • RE: Help find that script please ? Some one knows where to locate it

    SSMS (Tasks : Generate scripts) will generate INSERT statements for data. It doesn't do the HEX thing, but it doubles up embedded single quotes. Would that do instead of...

  • RE: Ways to improve record deletion speed

    ScottPletcher (10/13/2015)


    For absolute max speed, you should also cluster the temp table on ID

    Thanks Scott. I do in fact do that, declaring the ID as a PRIMARY KEY.

    We have to establish what we want. Although we have similar wishes we have not jet inventarised what we want/need.

  • RE: How can I efficiently downsize some Unicode fields?

    dave 67553 (10/13/2015)


    As for backups, are you compressing your backups? If not, do so. It saves time and storage space and very few SQL Servers are so CPU constrained that...

  • RE: How can I efficiently downsize some Unicode fields?

    Interesting. If the column(s) are Nvarchar and do not contains, will never contain, extended characters wouldn't a one-time change of database structure to Varchar be better than long-term use of...

  • RE: Ways to improve record deletion speed

    When I do this (in batches) I wonder if the selection criteria (i.e. "like 'SIC%'" in your case) takes time on each iteration of the loop.

    I get all the clustered...

    Dave Convery (10/13/2015)


    When you flag a post it's reported to moderators and we generally ban that user. There seems to be something going wrong with the data corruption forum (sweet,...

  • RE: How can I efficiently downsize some Unicode fields?

    If you have several columns in the same table (as ALTER COLUMN doesn't support multiple columns in a single statement) and given that some NVARCHAR columns might be PKey etc??...

  • RE: Spam Spam Bacon and Spam

    P.S. Does anything happen if anyone FLAGs a post as SPAM? Looking at e.g. page 5 of "Data Corruption" forum there are lots showing (from a week or more...

    Dave Convery (10/13/2015)


    Currently there are filters based on post numbers, with automatic approval for people over a certain number of posts. This is a bit more robust than just the...

  • RE: Question re log shipping and transaction log backups

    Is it relevant that the RESTORE HEADER you did was:

    restore headeronly

    from disk = 'D:\ManualBackups\TWS_RE7_Live_20151011[highlight="#ffff11"]120000[/highlight].trn'

    restore headeronly

    from disk = 'D:\ManualBackups\TWS_RE7_Live_20151011[highlight="#ffff11"]114500[/highlight].trn'

    restore headeronly

    from disk = 'D:\ManualBackups\TWS_RE7_Live_20151011[highlight="#ffff11"]113000[/highlight].trn'

    but the query shows:

  • RE: Full Text vs Creating my own

    I don't know how much overhead full text has, but we implemented our own keyword table to facilitate predictive search on products.

  • RE: Restore a DB with minimal downtime

    Is the database readonly for query users? If so could you keep the database in NORECOVERY and restore LOG files to it? (i.e. some sort of Log Shipping)

    Can...
