Not to be weird, but...YAY! I HAVE MY FIRST SUSPECT DATABASE!
It's a non-prod reporting database that doesn't get backed up, so now I can really some practice in. @=)
Of course, I could cheat and just restore it from the OLTP database that it usually gets restored from, but that's too easy of a solution.
(rubs hands together gleefully). Is it twisted that I'm about to enjoy myself this morning?
I don't think it's completely twisted that you enjoy it, but it's pretty nice that you have an ace up your sleeve to rebuild it if nothing else works. So, I guess congratulations are in order on your suspect database and a chance to play. 😉
And now I am heart broken. It's only a space issue. Some nimrod (probably me) restored the DB to the wrong drive.
Bleargh. And here I thought I was going to be able to do SCHTUFF. Still, I might as well follow the insufficient drive space issue along to see what else I can find before I fix it.
Sorry for your loss. I know what you mean about wanting to try stuff out.
Doesn't Paul Randall have some suspect databases and ones that have integrity check errors available for download? It's been a while, but I think I remember downloading some a while back for testing. You might be able to play after all.
Well, I put it in emergency mode and am running DBCC CheckDB (no params) against it to see what comes up. We'll see what I get to learn (although, I already know to avoid the repair with data loss option).
Paul has corrupt databases available at http://www.sqlskills.com/blogs/paul/corruption-demo-databases-and-scripts/.
Enjoy and have fun with it.

Thanks for the link!
My db, predictably, has "CHECKDB found 0 allocation errors and 0 consistency errors in database". Heartbroken, I tell you. I'm just heartbroken.
And now I'm trying to take it offline. And apparently failing miserably.

If you want to corrupt your own database, you can always use DBCC WRITEPAGE[/url].
I'm not sure I would do it on my databases: it would feel like poisoning my own children...

Brandie, if you want, I can send you a script to create and then corrupt a database. I use this in the hand's on portion of an interview where I judge someone's ability to handle this situation.

Welcome home Lynn. Enjoy!a few hours to kill in London then off to the Excel centre to help with setting up and bag packing, etc.
Safe trips for those of you are making it over to London over the next few days. Hopefully I'll get to catch up with most, if not all of you, in Person.
I'll be the one if the green shirt... Oh there are a few of us! And a camera!!
Cheers,
Rodders...
I really, really, really wish I could afford to go to London.
Brandie lets aim for next years event? Although it might not be in London...

Always been UK based. The Committee likes to go around the country. Haven't done Scotland or Northern Island yet. Once in Wales. This is the third in London out of 14 events.
Hope that helps,

I've always wanted to visit the UK. I have heritage from Wales and Ireland (plus there's an entire village named after me! Well, okay, maybe my surname comes from the village, but I prefer thinking of it the other way around @=).

Nice 🙂
Well both Gail and Brent Ozar have used previous visits to include holiday sight seeing.
Gail went to Stonehenge.
Brent did a tour of castles in the West last year. Missed Warwick for some silly reason - probably the most famous one in the West Midlands;-)
Quite funny when I pointed it out to him

Is it just that it's been so long that I haven't posted one, or does the Article Contribution Center (article editor) not play well with IE11?
My thought question: Have you ever been told that your query runs too fast?
My advice:
INDEXing a poor-performing query is like putting sugar on cat food. Yeah, it probably tastes better but are you sure you want to eat it?
The path of least resistance can be a slippery slope. Take care that fixing your fixes of fixes doesn't snowball and end up costing you more than fixing the root cause would have in the first place.

I would say it doesn't play well with IE11. Lot's of things don't play well with IE11. Have you tried compat mode? Or another browser?

There are more and more sites that just don't work with IE. I have been seeing more sites with messages about being optimized for Chrome or FF and no guarantee that it will work with IE.
As somebody who has been working as web developer for 15+ years I can tell you the process currently is to write your site to work with all the "other" browsers, then go back and rewrite large portions of it so it will work with the abomination know as IE. 😉

Amen. Do you remember the browser wars between IE and Netscape? Netscape was superior up until about 4.5, then it started to go downhill fast. IE just worked. Now the tide has turned the other way.
I guess MS hasn't learned yet that it can't redesign its end user products every few years and break backward compatibility and just expect that the rest of the world will follow due to their market dominance. Their own COM specification in the days of yesteryear dictated that backward compatibility was to be maintained when writing COM components. I guess the spirit of it died along with COM.
Chrome was quite buggy when it first came out, but at least Google fixed things. MS doesn't bother with IE. As for me, I'll continue to use FF.
