• SQL Server Partition Scheme

  Hello everybody, how can I verify a partition scheme in SQL Server 2005 (June edition) SELECT p .* FROM sys.partitions p , sys.objects o WHERE o . name = 'mytable' AND o . object_id = p . object_id GO this always returns only one partition thank you Eckard BTW, there is some confusion about terminology.   A partition != a partition scheme.  The query above looks at a table's partitions.  It does not "verify a partition scheme."  Every table has at least 1 partition that ultimately refernces a filegroup.  A partitioned table has >=1 partition that ...Show All

  If I have a System.URI that points to some XAML in another assembly, how can I load that into the Content property of a TabItem I know this is easy in a Frame but I don't need navigation functionality.

• Windows Search Technologies WDS and ASP.NET -- success

  I finally got WDS working via an ASP.NET front end. Here's how I did it: - web page front end has form to collect search terms - it posts the terms back to itself, and which time the ASP.NET page creates a XML file in a predetermined folder on the server. - meantime, I wrote and started a service that runs as a local user and watches that folder for new XML files. When it finds one, it calls an executable. That executable fetches the search term from the XML file, calls the WDSQUERY.DLL, then drop the results into a new XML results file in the predetermined folder. The WDS recordset object has a save as XML method. - the ASP.NET ...Show All

• SQL Server Moving a SQL2K publisher to a SQL 2005 instance.

  Hi, I have to move a SQL2K instance (publisher) to a SQL 2005 instance and i prefer not to re-snapshot all the databases being replicated due to the large size of the databases. As i understand all i need to do is    1. Ensure all published databases are in readonly mode. 2. Stop the replication (by either dropping subscriptions, publication or stopping replication agents). 3. Move the databases to the SQL 2005 instance. 4. Configure a SQL 2005 instance for the distributor (for a SQL 2005 publisher, the distribution database must be a SQL 2005 instance). 5. Setup replication to the SQL2K  ...Show All
