Call User-defined Function on Linked Server :SQL Server

If you try to invoke a user-defined function (UDF) through a linked server in SQL Server by using a "four-part naming" convention (server.database.dbo.Function), you may receive error message.  The reason is User-defined function calls inside a four-part linked server query are not supported in SQL Server. Thats why error message indicates that the syntax of a Transact-SQL statement is incorrect.  To work around this problem, use the Openquery function instead of the four-part naming convention. For example, instead of the following query Select * from Linked_Server.database.dbo.Function(10) run a query with the Openquery function: Select * from Openquery(Linked_Server,'select database.dbo.Function(10)') If the user-defined function takes variable or scalar parameters, you can use the sp_executesql stored procedure to avoid this behavior.  For example: exec Linked_Server.database.dbo.sp_executesql N'SELECT database.dbo.Function(@input)',N'@input...

Truncate a SQL Server log file (Reduce the size of an LDF file)

I have been doing database administration and have been asked several times to reduce the size of database files. The actual mdf file is small, 3MB, but the LDF file is 10GB !! I have read about the DBCC SHRINKFILE command and tried this, but the file has stayed at 10GB even though it said the command executed fine. I've also tried using the wizard in SQL Server to reduce the LDF to a specified file size (800MB), this also failed to change the size even though it gave me the impression it had worked and was successful via the wizard. The best thing I found is to change the recovery mode of database to RECOVERY SIMPLE before executing the SHRINKFILE command. After that change back the recovery mode to FULL . ALTER DATABASE ExampleDB SET RECOVERY SIMPLE DBCC SHRINKFILE('ExampleDB_log', 0, TRUNCATEONLY) ALTER DATABASE ExampleDB SET RECOVERY FULL Happy Coding :)
