I'm not a DB2 person either but we do have an ODBC connection to one.  We are using an IBM DB2 version 7 driver, and the info that works for...

Do you reindex the tables regularly on the cluster?  Are the databases the same size (the test server & cluster)?  Are there cluster errors in the NT logs?  Do you...

I really doubt that attaching / detaching a database would affect performance.  You said "we did detatch this copy of the online database during last nights EOD run, and the...

I tested the procedure using LogParser and it's exactly what I need.  Thanks again!

Well, since we have RAID 5 I may need to wait.  Our server is going off lease next year and we won't be using it (thankfully).  Also, next year we are...

We used to get out of memory errors on a linked server to Oracle until I added a startup parameter to SQL Server.  See Books on Line topic "Using Startup...

Happened to me once before.  Try looking here:  Go to the toolbar and select Tools, Replication, Configrue Publishing, Subscribers, etc.  Then go to the Subscribers Tab and hit the elipsis next...

You may want to check how your application is designed too.  We had a bad situation once where the log file was huge and the SQL Service was stopped.  The...

I don't see it under the first key and the second one doesn't exist.  I'll look around a bit.  Thanks.

I found an article similar to that one, but if you'll notice it applies to NT 4 and earlier.  When I query a 2003 machine I get the error "RegOpenKeyEx()...

Those articles are great.  Thank you.
