Normalization - incompletness I'm reading Itzik's T-SQL Querying and in the article about normalization it states: "The goal [of normalization] is to eliminate redundancy and incompleteness." I understand what redundancy is - it's pretty straight-forward - but can anyone explain the term incompleteness in this context. Later in the article there is an example of a relation in 1NF with the following attributes: OrderID, CustomerID, CustomerName, OrderDate, ... followed by two anomalities that are examples for incompletness: 1. It is not possible to insert a customer without an order 2. If all orders for a cus	3/10/2010 10:46:07 PM	0	=?UTF-8?Q?=C5=A0ime_Vidas?= <sime.vi...@gmail.com>

Before the contractor account expires... Hi Guys, We are still running Svr2003r2 in our environment.

question about how Windows Server 2003 handles disk IO It seems like several years ago I read an article about how Windows handles the threading of disk IO.

There is obviously the cost argument for using SATA drives and also the speed advantage for the SAS option. So is it possible to mix the two and have mirrored SAS for the operating system and key files and use RAID 5 SATA for data and the Exchange database. The reasoning is that the bottleneck for the operating system will be local architecture whereas restrictions on data will be network speed/traffic.

There is only one network printer that can't be printed to from the 2k3 sbs server, all others work. I've tried replacing the driver, it is a fairly old Panasonic Multifunction dp2500, and making a new tcp port with no success. There is no firewall activated. I then thought maybe I can just connect to the shared Panasonic printer on another computer and print from the server that way. When I do this the test page leaves the server ok but for so	2/23/2010 2:01:54 PM	0	Greg O <grego...@gmail.com>
Can't print from server Hi, I'm managing a network that has several network printers. Everyone can print to these printers with no problem except from the server.

Server 2008 - extend of system partition fails Hello, I did an extension of system partition on a server 2008 x64 SP1 which ends with a "wrong parameter" failure at end. Disk management console shows up the new size but within explorer and drive properties window still it has the old size. I did a reboot and disk check (with no errors) - no changes. Eventlog doesn't show any relevant informations. Any help would be appreciated.

W2K3 Eval key question The server setup group doesn't seem to be discussing Windows 2003 server stuff so I thought I'd try here instead. Please redirect me if I'm incorrect. Can I use the product key on the original W2K3 eval kit (no SP) I have for installing W2K3 R2 SP2 eval which I recently downloaded? I have not used the original eval kit and it appears I can only order a Windows 2008 Server eval kit from MS these days, although I did manage to locate the download for the 2K3 R2 SP2 disc images at MS but not a method for getting the key emailed to me. I'm lucky I found what I did since MS redir	2/23/2010 12:37:43 AM	4	SteveN <...@nospam.somemail.com>
Microsoft Server 2008R2 Foundation Greetings, I need to provide a new server for a small network (12-13 users). Have you got any experience with Microsoft 2008R2 Foundation server? MS SQL Server 2008 for 10 users is to be installed on it. Hardware is IBM server x3400, 8Gb RAM, 3x500Gb SATA - RAID5. What's your opinion on such combination? I appreciate your recommendations. -- Electron	2/22/2010 9:00:54 PM	9	"a" <NOSPAM_elect...@mail.htnet.hr>
