• SQL Server Help! Why is Showplan different: 2000 vs. 2005?

  I have a hugh response time difference between 2000 and 2005 for the same query on the same database. 2005 is much slower (hours as opposed to minutes). Can any explain why And, better yet, how can I adjust 2005 SQL: SELECT c . customer_id , s . sic_id FROM dbo . o_t_customer c INNER JOIN dbo . o_t_d_sic s ON c . sic2 = s . sic ( Note: c.sic2 is defined as a UDF based on c.sic. This seems to be the cause.) 2000: |--Hash Match(Inner Join, HASH:( .[sic])=( .[sic2]), RESIDUAL:( .[sic]= .[sic2])) |--Index Scan(OBJECT:([omeda-successories].[dbo].[o_t_d_sic].[IX_o_t_d_sic_sic] AS )) |--Compute Scalar(DEFINE:( .[sic2]=[dbo].[fn_normalize_sic](dbo.o_t_customer.[sic]))) |--Clustered Index Scan(OBJECT:([omeda-successories]. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Build a project referencing only other projects

  Hello All, I have a solution with something like 40 projects inside. Some of these projects are just referencing other projects without adding any code or classes and I have two cases: 1/ I want to compile without producing any .exe or .dll 2/ I want to compile and produce a .dll like mySolution.dll For the first case, I managed to solve the problem removing the CSC task from the CoreCompile target and modifying Microsoft.Common.Targets not to copy output file. But for the second case i don't know if it is possible to produce a MySolution.dll without any code in my project. In fact, in Visual Studio 2005, when I build my project it does the CoreCompile target, calls the CSC Task and succeeds to create the output f ...Show All

• Visual Basic VS.Net 2005 Standard - missing Database Project

  Hi. I just installed the above (along w/ SQL 2005 (all bits))... In VS '03 I used the Database Project type.... I don't see this project type when I click on Add, New Project...

• Visual C++ How can a C++/CLI library catch unmanaged C++ exceptions from an unmanaged library without breaking the C++ stack unwinding?

  I have a static C++ library, built with VS2005, that is used by multiple projects. The library throws C++ exceptions (derived from std::exception) from its public interface. One project that uses the static C++ library is a .NET class library that is written using C++/CLI. What I have found is that when the .NET class library calls into the unmanaged C++ library and an exception is thrown from within this library, then the application immediately jumps to the .NET class library catch clause without calling unmanaged C++ destructors during stack unwinding. This of course breaks the RAII idiom and is creating a large problem for me. My questions are: Is this expected What is the best solution to work around the problem Many thanks f ...Show All

• SQL Server Incremental updates into a new partition

  My requirement is to enable full reporting on the current days data and allow ad hoc analysis on all historical data, with the most recent being in smaller partitions because this is the data most likely to be queried. I get a daily feed of the data which I want to import. To do this I am thinking of various partitioning strategies. I am thinking along the lines of the following 1 partition for the current day 1 partition for the current year to date. 1 partition for archived data for 10 years All these partitions would be rolling partitions so that at the beginning of the day, the previous days partition would be merged into the current year partition and at the end of the year, the current year partition would be merged ...Show All

I have tryed using STSADM.EXE which is giving a error because of difference in version. thanks karthik You need to upgrade it in site (if you want to keep the content) *twice* First upgrade it to Beta2 TR. Then upgrade it to RTM.

You'll find both instructions / links to instructions by searching the WSS FAQ site ( www.wssfaq.com ) and you'l ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Why does Emulator seem to drop the network connection after 1-2 minutes

  I had spoken too soon to regards to the ability to ping my emulator instance. It works great in the first 1-2 minutes and then seems to drop out.
