POPSMoving the tempdb database While trying to optimize the performance of some data loads on one of our QA database servers, I decided to move the tempdb to a different disk array hoping that would improve the time it takes to assemble the large set of records to be inserted into a denormalized table. This clip contains the information I used to move the database.

POPSTable Spool should alert you to a potential problem I was looking at a query plan today and saw a Table Spool icon. I had never seen one of those before. I thought that it might not be so great. I found this little bit of text on spooling data to work tables and thought it was interesting.

POPSSet-based way of determining databases' writeability I'm writing a script that will help me "port" privileges for Windows security accounts of one domain over to equivalent accounts on a different domain. You must first check to see whether any affected databases are read-only. If they are, you must take them out of read-only mode, first, before you revoke or grant any privileges to the database. I am using this procedure to figure out which databases are read-only.

POPSOracle RAC Overview Oracle RAC technology sounds pretty cool. I've worked with Microsoft SQL Server clusters before, but never with Oracle. I'm interested in learning more, especially since it's looking like I'll need to deal with Oracle a lot more in my next job. :-)
