• SQL Server Auto update statistics

  In SQL 2000 is there a way of changing the threshold that auto updating of statistics kicks in Currently I am working with a db where the stats are becoming extremely poor after a day (as no automatic stats update is taking place) and the length of time a stored proc takes to compile and run goes from about 5 mins to around 120 mins. An update stats fixes the problem. Thanks. Thanks for your reply. I would like to avoid query hints, as quite a number of procedures are affected by the stats problem. I am not using default values within the SPs in fact a lot of the data being processed is fairly similar to the existing data within the tables. I don't quite understand why the stats are becoming out of d ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Porting the engine (written in C++) from DirectX 8.1. What are my options ?

  I`ve got a 3D engine used in my previous and upcoming online/budget PC games that I wrote by myself from scratch during last several years. However, I would like to port it to XNA since that would give me another platform (XBOX360), since that`s what most of distributors would like to have (multiplatform title) these days. Plus, all games/demos that I would create would then run on both platforms, which is a fantastic feature in itself, and a great negotiating factor with distributors/publishers. Will XNA support ASM shaders natively, or will I have to rewrite those in HLSL I`ve got a pretty huge set of ASM shaders handling lighting,animation,decompression and lots of other stuff. But, from what I`ve read so far, it seems I`m goin ...Show All

• SQL Server Conditional Split Question

  I have a package which has a conditional task which directs rows to its respective OLEDB command. The records are sorted from the source system in chronological order. The problem I am experiencing is that some of the operations do not seem to be occurring in the same order. An example of this would be someone inserts a record, deletes the record and reinserts in the record in that order. When we run the package we can see the records are coming down in chronological order but the delete from the split seems to occur after the inserts. Has anyone else experienced this Is there anything I might be missing to ensure things happen in the order they should Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Thank you for your explanation. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How can I install XNA Game Studio Express over Visual Studio Std or TS?

  I understand the support for VS Express to use XNA Game Studio Express, but as a professional developer, but a hobbyist game developer I don't want to have to install VS Express. Any plans or hacks to get it to install over VS instead of VS Express I got the impression it required VS Express installed to work with comments like "Express and Standard can be installed side by side". Seems silly that you'd need freely down-loadable package to get it to work. But, that's just me. ...Show All
