I have an MSTVF that when run not wrapped in the function gives me a ~15 sec execution and ~11,000 rows. However when I run it inside the function I’m still executing at 4 hours and show over 12bil reads. Just executing select from function name, no joins. What up? #sqlhelp

Tie games in football are ridiculous. We need some tie breaker. I propose the following: Randomly select a drunk fan from each side and make them cage match until one yields. Boom, tie broken. Let’s get this trending #nfldrunkfantiebreaker
Just read a headline on LinkedIn “WiFi 6 has arrived”. I didn’t know WiFi 5 was what we had.
Just about all the #sqlserver s in my environment I inherited have data, logs, binaries, and bak are on their own drive but are presented as mount points of C with no drive letters assigned. C:\SQLData\, C:\SQLLogs\, C:\SQLBin...etc. Why oh why? #sqlfamily

SSRS is sending multi-select param as n’red’,n’blue’,n’green’ instead of ‘red,blue,green’ why is it doing this? It is driving me crazy. #sqlhelp #SQLFamily

Ok is this standard behavior? I recall working in SSRS years ago and having to string split everything.
Just spitballing here, has anyone set up a job to do daily tlog backups to nul on scratch dev servers? These things don’t get backed up and they can just restore from prod if needed. Thinking it should keep the tlog file size from ballooning. #sqlhelp – at Vancouver, WA

Before I get a ton of replies telling me theses shouldn’t be in full recovery I offer this. The devs can restore at will and the prod databases are full recovery so when they get restored...full recovery on dev. – at Vancouver, WA

I have a SQL 2016 3 node AG that is having some issues that make me think indirect checkpoints may help. This DB was upgraded so the value is still 0 for target recovery time. This is a large mem very active DB. Any concerns with doing the switch live? #sqlhelp #sqlfamily – at Vancouver, WA

Come on @redgate...SQL Clone looks stinking awesome! The interactive demo was fantastic. I can’t wait to talk my boss into buying this. @GFritchey @Kendra_Little – at Vancouver, WA

I inherited a maintenance plan with Check Database Integrity as the first step of many. However, when the plan runs it only does that step. It never rolls to the next step. Anyone run into this b4? #sqlhelp SQL 2016. – at Vancouver, WA

Also it is sql 2012. Sorry. This is a vendor supplied maintenance plan. I didn’t create it and I don’t want to replace it with a script. I would just like to get it to work the way it is supposed to.

#sqlhelp #sqlfamily I inherited a database where one table has over 40B rows. I am putting together an archival proposal and curious if there is a smart way to make it easy on the developers to know when to query the main table and when to query the archive and/or combine results – at Vancouver, WA

I’m gonna be honest and say I have never wrangled a table with > 40 billion rows before. New territory for me. – at Vancouver, WA

Thanks so much @GunneyK and @NedOtter for your sage advice. I am quite appreciative. – at Battle Ground, WA
