I recently received the following comments on my earlier blog about Making database to read only.
“Today i was trying to attach the (MDF,NDF,LDF ) sql server 2008 database which i have received from my client. After attachment the database status is showing (Read-Only) (Eg.database name (Read-Only). How do i make to normal mode for the data updation. is there any query available to resolve this problem. Your help will be highly helpful.”
Let’s learn Making Database to Read Only and Changing Database to Read/Write.
Recently I formatted my computer and installed fresh SQL Server in it. I installed the AdventureWorks database in my database. Once done, I wanted to run few test scripts on my database. Just like every DBA, I decided to take backup of my database – this way I can restore it back to attain an original database state. As soon as I ran the backup command I ended up with the following error. This error is due to a permissions issue on the local disk and user account which is running SQL Server. In this blog post we will talk about the operating system error.
Performance Tuning is always the most interesting subject when we talk about software application. While I was recently discussing performance tuning with my friend, we started to talk about the best practices for TempDb. I also pointed my friend to the excellent blog post written by Cindy Gross on the subject: Compilation of SQL Server TempDB IO Best Practices. One of the discussion points was that we should put TempDB on the drive which is always giving better performance.
