  • RE: What is the search order for Procedures prefixed sp_?

    Interesting

  • RE: Worst Practice - Not Having An Archive Plan For Each Table

    ..and of course simply bunging in another processor adds to your licensing costs, never mind the cost of RAM, disk and tapes.

  • RE: Worst Practice - Not Having An Archive Plan For Each Table

  • RE: tempdb recommended size?

    I use snapshots when I need to duplicate a live environment for testing purposes.
