If a database is full or nearly full, and a large number of the tables in the database do not have clustered indexes, the AUTO-SHRINK database option or DBCC SHRINKDATABASE command may cause severe performance degradation for SQL Server 2000. The performance may degrade to the point where queries do not return results in a timely fashion. It takes longer for new connections to connect, resulting in connection timeouts.

Total Hits: 930  |  Today: 0       Rating:  
Read Reviews | Write Review |   Your Rating: 

When you connect to Microsoft SQL Server from the Active Server Pages (ASP) using ActiveX Data Objects via named pipes, the client computer must be validated by SQL Server to use the named pipe. If SQL Server is on a different physical computer than the ASP files, the Active Server Pages might fail. By default, Internet Information Server (IIS) attempts to connect to the SQL Server anonymously. To do this, it uses the anonymous logon information provided in Internet Service Manager (Inetmgr.exe)...

Read Reviews | Write Review |   Your Rating: 

SQL Server follows the ANSI/ISO SQL-92 specification (Section 8.2, , General rules #3) on how to compare strings with spaces. The ANSI standard requires padding for the character strings used in comparisons so that their lengths match before comparing them. The padding directly affects the semantics of WHERE and HAVING clause predicates and other Transact-SQL string comparisons. For example, Transact-SQL considers the strings ''abc'' and ''abc '' to be equivalent for most c...
