  • RE: BACKUP STRATEGY.

    I admin two MSSQL Server 2000 database systems that are 24x7 mission critical. We have a Dell 136T tape library with 24 tapes on one and a HP Superstore DLT...

  • RE: Clustered environment for SQL 2000

    Bkelly is correct....I was working with Veritas' Backup Exec when I responded to your posting. Backup Exec requires two licenses for a 2-node cluster. SQL Server only requires one license....

  • RE: Bring Db into NoRecovery mode

    Been there, tried it, both ways even (NO RECOVERY to RECOVERY, RECOVERY to NO RECOVERY) and neither can be done. Once you set the recovery method that's what you are...

  • RE: Clustered environment for SQL 2000

    You don't need to install SQL virtual server on each node! You install it on the shared disk. We have an active/passive cluster with a shared array. We loaded SQL...

  • RE: Can SQL run as a domain user?

    Thanks everyone for the information. I just found (via BOL) that I can't set my MSSQL service to run as anything but Administrator. Per BOL, when creating or maintaining MS...

  • RE: what is xp_runwebtask ???

    Steve,

    I'm on MSSQL 2000 and my EM has xp_runwebtask, xp_makewebtask, and xp_dropwebtask. Doing a Google search on xp_runwebtask brings back several pages of vulnerability reports. This xp has an 'escalate...

  • RE: How accurate is GETDATE()?

    I just ran a script that copied 300,000+ rows into a temp database, got the getdate(), counted all the rows (count(*)), then got the getdate(). The query took several seconds,...

  • RE: Job Scheduling - interesting requirement

    Antares,

    He didn't make a mistake. However, it would have been clearer if he had explained what the jobs were....let's say he's doing backups. Once a month (the 1st Sunday) he...

  • RE: Try to find script

    Check out the stored procedure sp_spaceused in the Books OnLine. I think it will give you the information you want.

  • RE: server not known to be running error

    I get a similar error on one of my remote machines. Apparently, if you are on a separate domain your remote Enterprise Manager might not be able to see the...

  • RE: Can I schedule my db full backup to take it on tap

    SaNaz,

    No matter how you do it, it's looking for a second tape IMMEDIATELY. It's not going to wait for you to put one in. The only solutions, when you need...

  • RE: Job Scheduling - interesting requirement

    I agree with Steve, #1 is the better solution. Why make it harder than it has to be? Also, if something changes down the road, with #1 it's easier to...

  • RE: The Best of SQLServerCentral.com 2002

    What about the possibility of correcting typos and making it an ebook? It could be in .pdf format and we could purchase it and download it to our computer. Then...

  • RE: The Best of SQLServerCentral.com 2002
