What a great topic for this month’s T-SQL Tuesday hosted by Kendra Little https://littlekendra.com/2017/08/01/tsql-tuesday-93-interviewing-patterns-anti-patterns/
The topic being: Interviewing Patterns and Anti-Patterns. I have had MANY (50 +) interviews over time with a lot of failures, so what have I learnt?
A quick elementary post which is my entry to this months’ T-SQL Tuesday entry hosted by a good friend SQLDoubleG http://www.sqldoubleg.com/2017/07/03/tsql2sday-92-lessons-learned-the-hard-way/.
We are here to talk about mistakes we used to make. There is one mistake that I am going to discuss and is something that I used to do 10 years ago, obviously I do not do this anymore.
I have a SQL Server that is constantly producing “dump” files (with a MDMP File type), these are named SQLDumpxxxx (xxx = numerical value). They are located in the following directory: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL12.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Log\ – sound familiar?
Have a look at this screen shot – it’s messy!
