45-second delay when you run a full-text query

Microsoft Full-Text Engine for SQL Server (MSFTESQL) tries to load the word breaker related to the query which in turn requires an Internet connection


Also, MSFTESQL unloads a word breaker that is not been in use for 300 seconds to reduce resource consumption. Hence,from the next time that the work breaker is loaded, signature verification is required again.

SQL Server : Issue with OSQL.EXE when input file is more than 12 mb

My little experience with OSQL is very annoying especially when I gave a file of more than 10 mb as a input file.

The i/p file has just set of stored procedures with drop command to drop the proc if it exists then to create the proc. But, interestingly OSQL has dropped and recreated many procedure but failed to drop one particular proc but tried to create the new one and hence the issue.

I spent several hours goggling on Google to get the data around any internal buffer limit on OSQL but ended with no luck. But able to get rid of the error by changing the order of the procedures. Frankly I don't know why it is working but hoping for it to continue to work.

Script to execute a script with OSQL:-
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\Binn>OSQL -n -S <> -U sa -P <> -d <> -i NewProcedures.sql -o Output.txt

SQL Server: Index entry for rowID was not found in index ID 4, of table 2009058193, in database

The issue looks be an issue with collation of the restored data base.

Could you please verify the same and follow the instructions given in the URL to correct the issue: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;822747

If this doesn't works then get the table name involved in the issue by running the query @ select * from sysobjects where id=@ID from error

Then run the DBCC checktable command on the table.

dbcc checktable ('@Table Name', REPAIR_FAST)

Why is a manhole cover round?

http://www.allinterview.com/showanswers/15003.html

The manhole covers which are Square or rectangle can be
easily put inside the hole by holding it diagonally.

But in case of circle, it is same in all the angles and safe
to use for man holes.

Computing Stats on GTT : Oracle

It seems there is much impact with computing the stats on global Temporary tables(GTT), especially on the production environments.

Oracle 10g has some features to stop computing stats on GTT but we need to enable the dynamic sampling to allow oracle to compute the stats as and when required.

It looks to be working better now on production, at least for me. :)

Computing the stats on temporary table - Oracle

tables{GTT}.

Especailly, Oracle 10G does gr8 job. if it is able to calculate the stats on GTT instead of we doing this?

Does any one has experience with this? Any thoughts around this would help me in achieving my goal.


Sometimes at night, when I look to the sky,
I start thinking of you and then ask myself, why?
Why do I love you? I think and smile,
because I know the list could run on for miles.


I asked God for a flower, he gave me a bouquet
I asked God for a minute, he gave me a day
I asked God for true love, he gave me that too
I asked for an angel and he gave me **********

The first satellites

The theory of satellites was simple enough - shoot something out into space at the right speed and on the correct trajectory and it will stay up there, orbiting Earth, for years - if not forever.

And if that orbit is just the right distance out in space the satellite will keep pace with the rotation of the Earth - remaining on station out there in the skies.

Theory was one thing - but achieving the vision was not so simple.
