I'm running some scripts on a database programmatically. The script produces 'light' errors like so: RAISERROR (N'[dbo].[TheTableName]: Inserted ACME information: 1.....Done!' , 10, 1) WITH NOWAIT; Redgate-generated scripts seem to generate a lot of these. They're actually helpful with what I'm doing, so I'd like to capture them a...
I created a trigger on a table for updates. If any update happens, I want to store the old value in separate table.

I am trying to insert thousands of rows into a table and performance is not acceptable. Rows on a particular table take 300ms per row to insert.

Hello, I am missing this DLL reference in c:\program files\SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn. I'm assuming that this is because I didn't install the 2005 client. I installed all of the services for 2005, the database instance, reporting services instance, SSAS and SSIS. I installed the 2008 client though, not the 2005 client, and 2008 databas...

In SSMS 2008, when I expand the tables folder, all i see is the "System Tables" folder. In SSMS 2005, when I connect to the exact same database with same account, I expand the tables folder and see all my tables. Has something changed with which tables are displayed by default? Does it only show tables in the default schema by defau...
I am having difficulties when trying to insert files into a SQL Server database. I'll try to break this down as best as I can: What data type should I be using to store image files (jpeg/png/gif/etc)? Right now my table is using the image data type, but I am curious if varbinary would be a better option. How would I go about inserting ...
Hello, I'm getting the error "Invalid URI: The format of the URI could not be determined" when customizing it. I've made several changes to the configuration files and UI, but I keep getting this error. It isn't logging it too in the event log nor the log files, which makes it very annoying to debug. So how do I figure out where the ...
Can I have an "identity" (unique, non-repeating) column span multiple tables? For example, let's say I have two tables: Books and Authors. Authors AuthorID AuthorName Books BookID BookTitle The BookID column and the AuthorID column are identity columns. I want the identity part to span both columns. So, if there is an AuthorI...

Hi all, I have a fulltext index which doesn't need to be immediately up-to-date, I'd like to spare myself the I/O (when I do bulk updates, I see a ton of I/O related to the index) and do the index updates during low usage times (nightly, perhaps even weekly). It seems there are two ways to go about this: Turn off change tracking (SET...
Is there a way to copy View output column headers along with the data? There is a setting in Options to include column headers with query results, but that only works with "New Query" and Stored Procedure output. Looks like SSMS 2008 has this functionality built in to the contextual menu when you right click on results, but I only have...
