recovery mode
Published (2009-11-20 23:12:00)
Wrong question. The right question is: if the database goes belly-up how much can you afford to lose? Is it OK to restore the most recent backups (you are taking backups, aren't you?), or are you content with losing recent updates? And this is not meant to be a rhethoric question, but a real one that you need to ask yourself. Full recovery will help you reduce data-loss in case of a disaster. But it comes with a cost, as it incurs more...

Hi Phil, In my view you should write a script that will connect to each remote server and execute your change script. Since you already have added all the remote server(s) as linked servers in your SQL Server this should not be tough task.

INSERT INTO behaviour???
Published (2009-11-20 16:53:00)
The ID column is included in the INSERT/SELECT list so if IDENTITY in the target table then it is forcing existing values and ORDER BY has no effect. It will have effect if there is another column in the target table that is IDENTITY. And sort is by customer id... Signature Plamen Ratchev http://www.SQLStudio.com

partition switching is supported in SQL Server 2005, however there is no GUI for it in SQL Server 2005 Management Studio. What I am confused about is - is the partitioned table in a subscription or a publication? If it is in the publication you should be able to drop the article from the subscription, drop it from the publication, make the change, add it back to the publication, add it back to the subscription doing a no sync, then do a...

table design
Published (2009-11-20 13:37:00)
One method is to add another column (e.g. site_id) and use the composite of site_id and work_order_number_id as the primary key. Another approach is to use a uniqueidentifier data type for work_order_number_id so that you can use GUID values as the surrogate primary key. Signature Hope this helps.

Yes, there is no upgrade path between x86 and x64. One way is to install SQL 2008 as a named instance on the machine. You can then keep the SQL 2000 instance, and copy the databases with backup/restore to the SQL 2008. The advantage with this is that you can keep SQL 2000 as a reference, in case you have query that starts to perform badly on SQL 2008. (By the way, make sure that you update ...

Different plans often results in different performance. Even though the second query is expressed in a more complex way, the optimizer can refactor the query and avoid redundant data access. SQL Server often yields identical (and optimal) plans for semantically identical queries but there are some cases where it misses the mark. This is especially true when useful indexes don't exist....

If you're deleting one row from one table and you're getting those kinds of errors, I'm guessing there is more at play here than just a lot of data. Is the insertdate indexed? If it is not, then to delete even just one row, the millions of rows need to be filtered by that date. Try adding an index to that field first, and see where that takes you. If it's indexed, then I would be wondering if...
