How to break an existing single database file into?
As you load data you can seed some known values into the tables at different places while loading up the tables with random values. This will let you run some test queries if you are interested in them.
Direct link to Nicholas’s post “Here’s a good discussion: http://stackoverflow.co…” Basically a single table is good when data is one-to-one. When you have thousands of rows and columns of data, where the data is one-to-many, multiple tables are better to reduce duplicate data.
Can a single client restore a single database?
Restores in a single-client-database scenario are brain-dead easy: just restore the client’s database. No one else is affected. Easier data exports. Clients love getting their hands on their data.
Can a database be used by more than one client?
Many applications start their lives as internal apps for a single company’s needs. They realize the application is really valuable, so they start selling access to outsiders. It’s simple: when your second client signs on, just add another copy of the database and away we go. Easier single-client restores.
What do you do when you connect to a database?
Within the Databases node you can do the following: Connect to a database. View current database connections. Select or add a driver for your database. Enter SQL statements and see the results immediately. Run SQL scripts on a connected database. Migrate table schemas across databases from different vendors.
Can a database have more than one core?
The concept is much like setting up tempdb with 1 file (up to 8) per core. Since most people don’t think about using multiple files for databases until they have grown large enough to be a problem, I think that most don’t realize that breaking up a database can be done at any time, you just need to have enough space for new files.
What do the subnodes represent in a database?
Databases consist of tables, views and stored procedures, each of which represents a list of columns. When a connection is established, you can expand the database connection node ( ) to see the subnodes representing tables, views, and procedures. In the Services window, expand the node for a connected database.
