Can one use Truncate Table on a linked server table? When I try it, I get a
message that only two prefixes are allowed. Here's what I'm using:
Truncate Table svrname.dbname. dbo.tablename

I guess the error message answers your question.
There is also a good reason for this not being permitted. Truncate Table
is a special operation, that may not make sense on some other data source.
Remember that a linked server does not have to be SQL Server.
If you are on SQL 2005, you can say:
EXEC('TRUNCATE TABLE dbname.dbo.tabl ename') AT svrname
On earlier versions of SQL Server you are probably better off using DELETE
instead, although it could possible to do it with OPENQUERY.

I am trying to get some information to compare and contrast the
Truncate Table function and the Drop Table function. I know that
using Truncate Table is faster and saves the structure of the table
while the Drop Table will delete the table totally (data and
structure). My question is whether using one function over the other
will use up more capacity on the server?

Hi,
We have a heavily used production server and a table which logs every
hit on a web site. This table has grown large over time and we want to
clear it down as efficiently as possible. We would like to issue a
truncate table statement, but with millions of rows we are a bit wary
of how this will affect server performance. The alternative is to
delete is stages using rowcount but of course this will generate a
large amount of logging....

Hi group,
In one of the books 'Gurus Guide to Transact SQL' i found this info:
------------------------------------------------------------
TRUNCATE TABLE empties a table without logging row deletions in the
transaction log. It can't be used with
tables referenced by FOREIGN KEY constraints, and it invalidates the
transaction log for the entire database.
Once the transaction log has been invalidated, it can't be backed up
until the...

I am getting time-out errors when I try to perform a simple delete on a

Delete From MyTable Where PKID=12345
I have tried executing this command directly from Query Analyzer, but it

(rather than from my local server against a linked server), it executes
immediately. Similarly, if I run the same SQL command through an ODBC linked...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
