Re: SQL Server 2005 + WinXP sp3 + Outlook 2007 mdf & ldf compressi

Thanks for the information Andrew. Question for you... how does one "enable
the folder that these files reside in to be a Windows compressed folder" ?.
Out of the box its not set to be compressed, but doing a Disk Cleanup
automatically compresses the .mdf and .ldf files.

I see the backup device, which I created earlier "AW_BKP_DEVICE". What I
would like to do (and unerdstand), how to backup several databases to
this device and restore a single database, and how to show contents of
the backup device. When I use RESTORE VERYFYONLY I see only two files:
D:\SQLSrv\MSSQL10.MSSQLSERVER\ MSSQL\DATA\AdventureWorks_Data .mdf

Backing up and restoring several databases to the same backup device

2009-12-21T10:26:45Z

Hi!
I am trying to backup several databases (AdventureWorks,
AdventureWorksDW, AdventureWorksDW2008) to the same backup device
(file). I would like to add all these databases to the same device. I
have the following t-sql to accomplish this:
BACKUP DATABASE [AdventureWorks] TO [AW_BKP_DEVICE]
WITH NOFORMAT, NOINIT, NAME = N'AdventureWorks-Full Database Backup',

Definitelly this timeout has to do with IIS worker process idle mode.
The wake up of IIS worker process and the following attempt connect to the
database,
takes more than 15 seconds.

Re: SQL statement - 'chop' phrase

Correction:
SET @keywords = REPLACE(@keywords, ' ', ' AND ');
SELECT col1, col2
FROM MyTable
WHERE CONTAINS(*, @keywords);

You can split the string to words but then you have to concatenate back. Here are two articles on both operations:
[link]
[link]
However, there is really no need for that. You can simply do this:
SET @user_input = REPLACE(@keywords, ' ', ' AND ');

Re: Which solution to use?

Server will be in different buildings (same network 2 blocks away).
Clustering sounds complicated... is it?
We need a solution that will not incur a second SQL license (we are
trying to consolidate) just a license for the running server. Which
solutions are available on sql 2005 standard edition.
Does anyone know of a url that lists/tables the features, pros, cons,

If the servers are located in the same room you can test clustering
