  • RE: Creating a directory in a virtual disk

    Even though you've done a subst, SQL doesn't know about your R: drive. You need to:

    EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'subst R: F:\BACKUP'

    EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'mkdir R:\FULL'

  • RE: Same query on two servers taking way long to execu

    My reading of the second lot of statistics is that you're sending nothing to the server and therefore getting nothing back. Everything's zero, including network stats. Am I...

  • RE: xp_smtp_sendmail

    Grant,

    I installed version 1.1.0.8 under SQL 7 SP4 (SQL log shows "Using 'xpsmtp70.dll' version '2002.08.12'") and was unable to replicate the problem for any combination of normal and unicode data...

  • RE: Cumulative wait time on server

    Apart from the 1 line BOL and MSDN dedicate to it, I can find very little. I can only assume that if it's high and the server is processing...

  • RE: Status: Performing completion actions.....

    Does the job contain any e-mail notification? If so, maybe try it without such notification and see if it runs to completion.

  • RE: job schedule doesn't work well

    If your original (FTP) job is still executing, can it be stopped with a simple "stop job" through EM?

  • RE: Scheduling DTS Packages...

    Carl,

    When you do a test run (non-scheduled) of the package, do you do so logged on to the SQL box itself, or using client utilities from your workstation?

  • RE: Performance of a Database Restore

    Jon,

    6 hours is an extraordinarily long time for a 45gb database. Normally I'd say your tape drive needs looking at, except for the fact that it's about half the...

  • RE: Accessing all rows in an Update Trigger

    I'm confused, or more likely misreading the problem. Won't "IF Update(column_name)" be either true for all rows affected in a set-based update, or false for all rows?

  • RE: How to corrupt a db

    ...further to that, the database had to be called "victimdb" but no longer works on SQL2k anyway. You can stop mssqlserver and then play around with a hex editor...

  • RE: How to corrupt a db

    In SQL 6.5 (and sybase) I recall a "DBCC CORRUPT" command, for training purposes. But I also think the database had to be called "corrupt". I'll investigate further...

  • RE: Transaction log backup failing

    Frank,

    If it's a maintenance plan job, look at the report specified on the plan's reporting tab. If you haven't requested a report then do so.

    Or, run a transaction log...

  • RE: Running an EXE from T-SQL

    master..xp_cmdshell will let you run host commands from QA/ISQL/OSQL. Be careful not to run things that will pop up a dialog box or prompt for input because it'll just...

  • RE: insert to Oracle db takes time from SQL2k

    Sorry but you've caught me out... when I said "We switched to an Oracle-supplied driver" I meant that someone else in the team did the work while I shared the...

  • RE: Decimal versus Money and division

    Can only suspect it's by design. Operations on MONEY fields return a MONEY field. Operations on DECIMAL return DECIMAL. The difference is that DECIMAL operations will adjust...
