  • RE: Not consuming memory

    Bump.

    Is this in the wrong category?

  • RE: Not consuming memory

    Sorry. Forgot some basics.

    64 Bit SQL 2008 R2, 64 bit Windows 2008 R2 Standard.

    Virtualized on VMWare.

    Memory observations during the load test was a perfmon capture.

    Memory test this morning was with...

    2) Yes, you are naive and old school. Virtualization is hear to stay, for many good reasons. I have seen 50+TB SQL Server environments completely virtualized. ...

  • RE: Synonyms and performance

    Thanks! That clears it up for me.

  • RE: Just accepted a Sr. DBA job. Time for a gut check?

    Paranoia is a good thing. It heightens awareness.

    I think it's time for a beer, not a gut check.

    Congratulations.

    “If you are using virtualization, and if the hypervisor supports it, use physical disks (through some sort of pass-through feature) instead of virtual disks (such as the...

  • RE: Virtualization - yet again ...

    Bueler?

    Already fell to page three, so forgive the bump.

    Redesign the table?

    My experience has been that a table with...

    So in error handling part for SQL 2000, set @@error...

  • RE: Good or bad idea?

    Well! No equivocation in your assesment (though I tend to agree).

    Perhaps I should be more clear. Our customers access our application via Citrix. The application itself uses SQL Server on the back-end....

  • RE: Good or bad idea?

    The purpose is to extract, consolidate and analyse data and present it through an interactive web interface. This would likely include sales, inventory, and other operational data.

  • RE: The Last Poll

    Hee, hee.

    Call me picky, but technically "it's" is not an abbreviation, but rather a contraction. Isn't English wonderful

  • RE: The Last Poll

    I think the Sony/Rootkit fiasco was huge. It touched (or ran rough shod over) core issues in I.T. It effected everybody from consumers all the way up the to the board...
