We are anticipating building some very large cubes and would like to get a handle on how to partition our measure groups to provide flexibility in processing and administering our cubes. Can you guide us through the steps to define multiple partitions for a measure group and provide some explanations? The default behavior in SSAS is to create a single partition for a measure group.

So how do you send an alert to an operator? First setup database mail with a profile named SQLAlerts. The profile can be named anything but in these instructions, the profile name SQLAlerts is referenced. If you wish to use a different profile name just substitute accordingly. For procedures in setting up database ma...

We have two SQL 2005 64-bit clusters in our organization: a four-node production cluster and a two-node dev/test cluster. We recently migrated a database from SQL 2000 that relied on an Oracle linked server for some of it's computations. No big deal, right? Install the Oracle client software and create the linked server just like in SQL 2000 right? Be sure to repeat the process on both nodes for failover-sake, right? Wrong. In the case of 64-bit SQL instances we have a few extra steps we ...

Some tasks that are run in SQL Sever take a long time to run and it is sometimes difficult to tell whether these tasks are progressing or not. One common way of determining that status is to look at the data returned from sp_who2 or sp_lock to ensure that things are still working and the process is not hung.
