  • RE: Trans Log backup much larger than Original Trans log

    I think 4 pages must be some kind of record.  I think it should qualify you (us???) for special consideration in the new contest!  If I hadn't seen that article...

  • RE: EM Settings

    Don't know if this will take care of your problem, but if you'll right click on EM (in the start menu or desktop shortcut), select properties, then on the Shortcut...

  • RE: Trans Log backup much larger than Original Trans log

    No problem!  I'm glad you got it resolved!  It was quite a challenge, huh?

  • RE: Veritas Backup Exec 10 - Agent for MS SQL 2k

    I don't know about that version, but several years ago, we were using Veritas to back up a large database.  When we attempted to restore the database during a disaster...

  • RE: Trans Log backup much larger than Original Trans log

    TJP8,

    If you answered this in a previous post, please forgive me for not going back and reading the whole thing!  Is your recovery model full or bulk logged?  In the...

  • RE: Way to get full @@rowcount even when using "top"?

    As Remi said, this is still running 2 queries, just one inside another....

    use pubs

    go

    select top 10 au_lname, au_fname,

  • RE: index defragmentation

    subban,

    The only information that you posted was for the heap (index id = 0).  If you have nonclustered indexes on the table, the dbcc showcontig should have similar...

  • RE: Making database smaller

    Occasionally, Taskpad will throw an error, and ask if you wish to "continue running scripts on this page".  It seems some installations of Enterprise Manager are more prone to this...

  • RE: index defragmentation

    The index ID in the showcontig results are for index ID = 0 , which is not an index, but is the heap (the data itself).  If this is the...

  • RE: Can''''t Kill SQL Server

    How long did you let the delete run before stopping it?  When you stop an action like that, SQL has to roll back the changes, and that will take about...

  • RE: Making database smaller

    In most cases, your full backup file will be close to the size of the utilized part of the data file plus the utilized part of the transaction log.  So,...

  • RE: Shrinking Databases

    From a different angle... I'm not sure I agree that shrinking the database in the scheduled backup job is standard stuff.  Are you backing up weekly? daily? more often?  If...

  • RE: Is this a duplicate index?

    If you only consider acct_dt, in your current scenario, a query that searched based on acct_dt would use index PO_LINE_SHIP2.  In your suggested scenario, a...

  • RE: Start & monitor a job to completion using T-SQL?

    Same here, Dave.

    Couldn't get the output I needed from Microsoft Documented procedures, so I hacked my own.  Works great!  I just hope Microsoft doesn't change or eliminate it.  But if...

  • RE: Intermittent error from SQL Job

    sp_change_users_login doesn't work for NT logins because it shouldn't have to.  NT logins get their SIDS from NT, so they should not be orphaned. 

    Also, you can pretty easily fix...
