This is one of the question asked by my friend and it seems very simple. I had a discussion with him and said that whatever the transaction it has started it will succeeded, however what I told him is not correct. I told him I’ll test it out and the answer which I gave it to him is partially correct. If the transaction g... (more)

I faced an issue during restoration of very large db in our development database \ server. Issue is restoration takes very long time even though we had latest hardware and recent version of SQL Server (it's SQL 2008 Ent. Ed).

Can you run a checkdb command on Read-only databases? If yes, does this get logged into boot page of the database? If checkdb finds an error can it fix on a read-only database?

You folks might have already know that a new version of SQL Server is on the way to market. Right now beta version of SQL Denali (aka SQL Server 2011) is released. In this version addition of startup parameter is made easy and effort less. In previous version we will be adding it in a text box separating each entry with semi colon(;) .  There is a chance that we might miss that semi colon and it will result in SQL server startup failure.

Another long-waited feature “SEQUENCE” is included in the latest version of SQL server code named DENALI. Sequence is now an object in each database and is similar to IDENTITY in functionality.

CDC is acronym for Change Data Capture. This is one of the new feature added from SQL Server 2008. CDC helps us to provide information about DML changes on a table and a database. It provides these information's in relational format. In previous versions of SQL Server we use triggers, timestamp columns etc., to capture the DML changes to the table which is resource expensive techniques, so to overcome this MS added this new feature.

We have 3 types of file extensions in SQL Server. MDF, NDF and LDF each one representing Primary, Secondary and Log file respectively. Do you think these extensions are need to be given to the respective files? If your answer is yes then you are wrong.
