    SQLkiwi (8/1/2011)

    That explains it nicely - and Peter Larsson (SwePeso) added pretty much the exact same example as this QotD in the comments.

    It's still realistically a bug, though--even if...

    I agree that the correct answer should be 'No' as the explanation confirms this but the correct answer doesn't.

  • RE: SQL Server 2008 BLOB data

    This MSDN article gives the same information as the one in the explanation, but also has a word on security--for those who're interested in this topic.

    Thanks Steve for another nice...

  • RE: Logshipping

    Very interesting :w00t:; especially since BOL describes this feature in a way that one may assume it is not possible.

    The clue is--and I would say hidden--in this article, where it...

  • RE: Enabling TDE

    forsqlserver (5/31/2011)


    Please clarify why tempdb is encrypted...Because tempdb is used by all the databases.

    I guess this has to do with the following:

    You may want to do some more reading on TDE from this MSDN Technical Article.

  • RE: Bad Passwords

    Carlo Romagnano (5/26/2011)


    Do you mean that for SA you get e.g. 2011-05-26 14:15:37 and for CARLO you get 1900-01-01 02:00:00?

    Yes, exactly!

    Then I'd assume that CHECK_POLICY has not been enabled for...

  • RE: Bad Passwords

    Carlo Romagnano (5/26/2011)


    Thank you, that's true.

    But the strange thing is that for sa the query returns effectively the right date and time, for the user Carlo, despite the settings, no....

  • RE: Bad Passwords

    Carlo Romagnano (5/26/2011)


    In sql2005, I tried with other logins than sa and I get always the following:

    1900-01-01 02:00:00.000

    Step 1: bad password attempt

    Step 2: correct login

    I run the query: SELECT loginproperty('carlo',...

    It doesn't use that term, and I'm talking terminology here, not anything else.

    Ah, got your point--and understood.

  • RE: Lock Escalation

    Tom.Thomson (5/25/2011)


    Nice question.

    But "partition" locks? Surely Heap locks, B-Tree locks (HoBT locks for short)? I don't think the term "partition lock" occurs anywhere in BoL for...

  • RE: Lock Escalation

    mohammed moinudheen (5/25/2011)


    I thought row level locks would be escalated to table locks only.
