This article is an additional article to my precedent about “SQL Server 2017: What’s happens with an interruption during a Resumable Online Index Rebuild?” The goal is to see after I suspend the rebuild, if I can run a traditional rebuild without the option RESUME. I start an index rebuild with the option Resumable: ALTER INDEX [NCI_dbo_Transaction] ON [dbo].[Transaction] REBUILD WITH (RESUMABLE = ON, ONLINE = ON) GO In a new query window,…

My colleague David Barbarin asked me this question, what’s append if an interruption occurs (reboot, SQL Server service stopped,…) during a Resumable Online Index Rebuild? I was not able to answer because I forgot to do this test. The new enhancement for an index rebuild provides the capability to suspend, resume or abort an online index operation (msdn reference). I always use…

This function is a replacement of RTRIM and LTRIM to delete all space character…

Few weeks ago, David Barbarin and I went to the Tugar IT in Lisbon to follow the workshop from Slava Oks: Bringing SQL Server to Linux: Experience It was a deep dive into the code of SQL Server and Slava shows us how they achieve a universal platform regardless the operating system.
