• SQL Server SAN Replication

  I'm wondering if the technology exists to use SAN replication for sql server 2005 disaster recovery. I have a bunch of prod servers I want to add to a san, I then want to have another bunch of servers at a dr site connected to another san.

• SQL Server Default values of columns not transferred in SSIS Transfer Objects Task

  I am working on a project that is creating a new application, my area of the project being the migration of data from the old application database, transforming it, and populating the new database. The transformations to the old data are done in a staging database. At the end of the process, the staging database ends up with a lot of new applications tables, populated with the migrated legacy data. We need to move these tables from the staging database to (initially) our test databases, but ultimately what will be the live database. We have tried using the "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" in SSIS, but have ran into a problem that a lot of the database tables have default values for columns. These default values a ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Build Number Field in TFS assemblies ..

  I just noticed the following: for TFS version 1 assemblies, the file version was "8.0.50727.147". for TFS version 1 SP1 assemblies, the files that were changed have a file version of "8.0.50727.762". I thought the pattern used by Microsoft for the build number field was "ymmdd". Consequently, I am curious to know why the build number field remained unchanged in SP1 (since obviously the SP1 build took place at a later date) .. Thanks in advance. The file version is: <major version>.<minor version>.<build number>.<rebuild number> Major version generally increments for each "major" release. Minor version increments for &quo ...Show All

• SQL Server sql help please

  I am trying to split a field into segments and write each segment to a different field, the field in question has the character '|' between each segment I want written, the problem is this field may have 2,3 or 4 instances of the '|' character in it, and is never consistent on the number of characters between each '|'. so my question is do I have to search through each character of the field until I find the '|' and then write each character prior to the '|' to a variable and finally write all the characters between each '|' to new fields. Could someone please give me guidance on how to achieve this OK. So, I assume you've got maximum 5 strings in the original string separated by pipes (|). I've got ...Show All
