FEATURED TOPIC:

TIP:
Performing incremental inserts/updates to reduce lock conditions
Inserts and updates are two of the most common operations in SQL Server that cause locking. Updates usually cause row-level locking, while inserts can cause a whole table to be locked, especially if the table has an explicitly-defined primary key. If your database routinely involves mass updates or inserts, it's hard to keep the locks from stopping everything cold -- especially if the table in question is used often. This tip
explains how to avoid this situation..
TIP:
Guidelines for creating indexes
Every index you create adds overhead to your database. A well-performing database therefore minimizes index creation while emphasizing the creation of the 'right' mix of indexing. That's why you should aim to minimize index creation while emphasizing the creation of the 'right' mix of indexes.

'Harry' a hit at Hogwarts and in cyberspace
[Agence France Presse]
"Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling doesn't just have the Midas touch; she's got the Midas click, too. Her Web site, www.jkrowling.com, has been online only two months and already it's gotten more than 220 million hits. When Rowling unveiled the title of her latest book about the English wiz kid, the site got 600 hits per second and 16 million in 12 hours. If she had a dime for every hit, she'd be rich -- make that richer.
