@Lisa

SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.CHECK_CONSTRAINTS

Is that what you want?

How do you list or show all constraints on a SQL Server 2005 database?

Thanks.

Hello Dave,

I wonder if there is a way to retrieve which sql commands were executed within the database during the last day?
I guess it has something to do with the LSN, which I can get through dbcc log.

I really appreciate your blog. Thank you very much.

Hi,

1. DBCC stands for DataBase Consistency Checker.
2. DBCC stands for DataBase Console Commands.

Which is the correct full form of DBCC. In SQL Server Books online it is stated that, the Transact-SQL programming language provides DBCC statements that act as Database Console Commands for SQL Server 2000.

Is this trace flag valid for SQL Server 2005 also

DBCC TRACEON(2520)
DBCC HELP (‘?’)
GO

Using this on my 2005 instance (build 3152), I dont see all the undocumented commands you have above. Is there another trace flag along with this?

Hi,

I am Sudeepta from Bangalore. While I was going through the database used in our Support environment, I found that the size of the .ldf file is above 10GB. I manage to remove such a big log file to save my disk space.

My question is: “How to read the database .ldf file?” Currently I am using a SQL 2000 Database on Windows 2000 server.

I have tried to search the same in Google, however, didn’t find a satisfied answer.

I believe, that you will reply me with a solution…

Thanks a lot for all those valuable articles……

Thanks & Regards,
Sudeepta.

No reference to which version of SQL these commands are for: SQL 7 (I doubt it ), 2000 or 2005?

I’m guessing 2005, given the date of the post, and the things like DBCC useplan, but confirmation would be useful.

Also, I don’t see reference to what should (imho) be a standard disclaimer around undocumented code – i.e. “Use at your own risk, since MS undocumented code and features are also, typically, unsupported, and liable to change in hotfixes (less likely), service packs, and new versions (more likely). do not build systems based on these – use them, when needed, for information and analysis”. again, thats imho
