  • RE: Do others find x64 installation frustrating, or are we idiots?

    Well, my issues can't be entirely hardware and driver based, since MS has released some hotfixes for things like the overwriting of the All Users profile - making administration of...

  • RE: The T-SQL Quiz

    Ooo.  I sure hope you used a Perl script to write that one out.

  • RE: Not In v Not Equal

    I've not checked this on SQL Server 2005, but the NUMBER of terms in the NOT IN or the NUMBER of <> , in combination with the distribution statistics, makes...

  • RE: The T-SQL Quiz

    My reaction if asked to do this in an interview?  I'd do it, but not until I made the point that there are much more appropriate languages for this job.

  • RE: Problem with large delete (sql 2000)

    Now you've found a solution, it's worth understanding why you had the issue.

    Your way of deleting was totally correct - the right way to do it in a relational database. ...

  • RE: My Projects Have Never Failed

    Very nice - I have to remind myself that these people pay me, not vice versa - so it's my reponsibility to point out what I see as flaws and...

  • RE: From SQL Developer to become a DBA

    It wasn't my choice to change.  For years Sybase mostly "just ran", and the use was limited to a few departments.  Then as we had to accept early SQL Servers...

  • RE: Log files are getting huge

    "It depends" is the correct response.   Myself, I'd always choose FULL unless I had a really strong reason not to.

    I suspect your trans logs are huge because you are not...

  • RE: SQL Server 2005 Adoption

    PS - I notice for many, the lack of motivation is "2000 runs fine".   For me, the motivation to switch is that 2000 does NOT run fine, without building entire...

  • RE: SQL Server 2005 Adoption

    Regarding question 10 - would you adopt SQL Server 2008 within a year?   I selected 'no', but the answer is, I have no idea.  I'd need to see it first.  ...

  • RE: Do others find x64 installation frustrating, or are we idiots?

    I'm not installing 32-bit SQL 2K - the reason to use the 64 bit platform is so I can support the amount of memory I need (currently, 16 GB for...

  • RE: Do others find x64 installation frustrating, or are we idiots?
