At a guess, SQL Server doesn't have access to read the registry. What account are the services running under? Are the any policy settings explicitly restricting access to the registry? Have you used Spotlight before?

When it comes to auditing index use in SQL Server databases, I sometimes get overwhelmed. For example, how to do you go about auditing indexes in a database with over 1,500 tables? While auditing a single index is relatively straight-forward, auditing thousands of them in multiple databases is not an easy task. Whether the task is easy or not, it is an important task if you want to optimize the performance of your SQL Server databases.

I recommend that you go with pacarter's suggestion of using a solution from www.sqldts.comIf you don't want to use the DTSBackup2000 tool, you can transfer them manually using DTS via a DataPump. Check out the article... http://www.sqldts.com/default.aspx?204This is a very simple procedure if you use this approach.

NO. Not as a linked server. Just two instances running on two different machines in a domain accessing the same database. Jim

Just in case anyone still cares about this problem, it turned out to be a conflict with the SCSI cards and the scanners (believe it or not). Once a certain volume of data had passed through the SCSI card it just seemed to close itself down until the PC was reset...We had the latest SCSI […]

There is nothing spectacular about using indexes per say. However, on many occasions I have come across a variety of SQL coders that never consider validating that the index they think they are using is efficient or even being used at all. We can all put indexes on the columns that we think will be required to satisfy individual queries, but how do we know if they will ever be used. You see, if the underlying table data is constructed, contains, or is ordered in a particular way, our indexes may never be used. One of the factors around the use of an index is its clustering factor and this is what this article is about.

I also think that there may be a flaw in your @acno logic. see the belowIF ((@acno IS NOT NULL OR @acno <>'') AND (@actype IS NOT NULL OR @actype <>'')) IF ((@acno IS NULL OR @acno = '') AND (@actype IS NOT NULL OR @actype <> '')Try this IF ISNULL(@acno, '') <> '' AND […]

SQL Server depends heavily on good indexing to perform well. The optimizer requires relevant and intelligent indexing in order to do its job well. Author Andre Vigneau brings us a script that he uses to detect possible index problems in the database design as well as a number of hints to ensure that your database is performing optimally.
