• SQL Server when is the appropriate time to fire t-logs backup

  Hi, Is it alright to run t-logs backup while complete or differential backup is still running in the background Objective is zero data loss and faster recovery time, which of the schedule is appropriate 1. full backup (weekly), then t-logs afterwards (round the clock, every 15 minutes), diff (daily) 2. full backup then differential then t-logs (round the clock,every 15 minutes) 3. full backup at the same time running the t-logs continuously, also while running diff backup (is this possible ) Jeff Irish wrote: maranbe, If zero dataloss is your goal perhaps you should be running a SQL 2005 Mirror. However, scenario 2 as presented should work. Full backup weekly, Differential Daily, Transaction Logs every 15 mins. The m ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Is it just me or are others finding CTP5 dog slow?

  I routinely get delays and a pop-up reporting "Visual Studio is busy ...." with CTP5. Even the roll-out of the schema view is slow. I did not see this in the previous CTP version. My workstation has dual processors, 2G RAM, no disk constraints. VSS is engaged. My database project has less than 100 objects - similar in size to the project I was using in the previous CTP. #1 Is this a problem others are having #2 Is there are way to turn off the automatic error checking when each script is saved Can this be invoked by request - perhaps during the build event only for example (To try to speed things up). Thanks. We did a perf update with CTP5; are you running with that install It's lo ...Show All

• Windows Forms Context Menus for webbrowser sub elements

  Hi All I'm working on a custom control for my Web Editor. The control currently just contains a webbrowser control. What I want to do is have different context menus for various web elements. For example, a Form Button would have an individual context menu when right clicked, and some Text would have a separate context menu. I'm assuming somewhere I'm going to have to use System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser or something similar, but how do I define the individual elements within a webpage Hope this makes sense! Doesn't that create security issues with the eventual User of the application I'm sure I read somewhere that using HTML/JS DOM requires the user to have certain privelages. I could be wrong though ...Show All
