HowTo: Grow a very large MS-SQL Log File
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 has a nasty habit of creating thousands or hundreds of thousands of logical log files even though you set Autogrowth to a large size, say 8GB. The following SQL code automates manually growing your log file by 8GB increments. When using the ALTER DATABASE command to modify log file size manually like this, SQL Server seems to properly create logical log files of around 1GB each resulting in far less logical log files overall. This should increase log file performance. Read more

- Canadian Dollar Loses Steam on Weaker U.S. Outlook January 31, 2012After recently touching a 90-day high against its U.S. counterpart, the Canadian dollar’s advance appears to have stalled. The pause coincided with news that for the first time since last May, Canada’s economy shrank as Statistics Canada reported that the economy contracted by 0.1 percent for the month of November. While manufacturing and several other secto […]
- Record Eurozone Unemployment Pits North Against South January 31, 2012The December unemployment rate for the 17-member countries comprising the Eurozone rose to the highest level since the Euro was introduced in 1999. For the month of December, the rate for the entire region rose to 10.4 percent after the November result was similarly revised upwards one tenth of a percent from the originally-reported 10.3 percent. A total of […]
- Euro Unemployment Hits Record 10.4% January 31, 2012Unemployment in the Eurozone region rose to a record 10.4 percent in December of last year. Spain was the hardest hit of the 17 countries at 22.9 percent unemployment while Austria has the lowest unemployment rate of 4.1 percent.

- EUR Short Covering Just Started? January 31, 2012The EUR 1.32 handle was to be in the distant past. One Euro summit later, in tandem with month-end requirements, and we have a trading environment wishing to finally throw some volume about and a ‘lost’ currency finding some of its mojo again. The dollar seems to have suffered the opposite fate over the last trading session, under-performing against its peer […]
- And Now, Portugal January 30, 2012By Sam Mattera Benzinga Guest Writer On Monday, the yield on the 5-year Portuguese note spiked. The yield hit a record for the post-euro era of 22.69%. The trade may have been fueled by the turn of events in Greece, as the general perception of the market may be to accept Greece’s default as a given. Last year, markets appeared frightened by the prospect of […]
- Spain Appears Headed for “Double-Dip” Recession January 30, 2012Spain’s economy contracted by 0.3 per cent during the fourth quarter, according to official figures released Wednesday, edging the country closer to a new recession as it deals with huge levels of unemployment and painful austerity cuts. The figure announced by the National Statistics Institute broke a run of seven quarters without economic contraction. The […]
- More EUR Concessions Required January 30, 2012The 1.32 EUR handle is in danger of becoming a distant past. Today’s Euro summit could fail to appease investors concerns about the fiscal outlook of Greece. If that is the case, then the single currency price action is on the verge of repeating itself; a pattern of pre-summit gains and post-summit losses. The Greek economy is only “one” of the Euro peripher […]
- Week in FX Europe Jan 22-27 January 27, 2012Plans for the Greek Private Sector Involvement remain a source of considerable uncertainty for peripheral markets, and the inconclusive result of negotiations over the past few days will leave the EUR and risk complex vulnerable to a large correction.

- US GDP Hidden Surprise Supports QE January 27, 2012“Key” surprises have ended up being the theme of this week. The Fed has extended the term of free money by 18-months and the door is now ajar for further QE. It’s the “when” that many appear to disagree with. It seems unlikely to be applied until after operation twist ends in June. QE2 and the ‘twist’ arrived after extensive debates and many months of weak d […]
- A Yen to Lead January 27, 2012Other regional data and policy innovation has mostly been positive for the Asian region this week. The Fed’s surprise extension of its commitment not to raise US rates for another 18-month’s, until late 2014, “should be the key to medium-term development”. Yen is expected to be the natural beneficiary of the latest dovish rhetoric by Bernanke and company and […]
