RE: Version Control - Migrating Objects to Production

  • Reply

Having rollback scripts for text-based objects like stored procedures, triggers, views is one thing (relatively easy) However, having rollback scripts for scripts that change structure, rearrange data, etc is entirely another. In my career, we never do this ahead of time, but only if there is a problem in rolling out the original structure change, […]

RE: Lookup Table Madness

Yes and no.  I am not a physicist and can't speak on the realative merits of Newton's and Lobachevsky's theories, so I won't attempt to.  But you are correct when you say that the OODBMS design is trash.  Why?  Precisely because it isn't based on a defined, cogent theory at all.  At least the hierarchical […]

RE: Log Shipping Hell

  • Reply

Gary,For log shipping, the secondary server should be in read-only mode. There is nothing wrong with it. With you having mentioned that all the copy and restore jobs are successfully, i can't think of anything else. Can you verify that the loginhistory table is in the log shipped database ?
