One-third of people 'would upgrade' to a Facebook phone - is Zuckerberg's latest project a serious rival to iPhone?


One-third of phone users would definitely upgrade to a Facebook phone  - and 73% think the phone is a ‘good idea’.
News of the phone emerged, with sources claiming that Facebook had hired ex-Apple engineers to work on an ‘official’ Facebook phone.


 


 It’s not the first Facebook phone to hit the market – the social network giant has previously partnered with INQ and HTC to produce Facebook-oriented handsets, including phones with a  built-in ‘Like’ button.

It could be a major hit – a flash poll of 968 people conducted by MyVoucherCodes found that 32% of phone users would upgrade as soon as it became available.
The key to its success could be porting apps to mobile – something Facebook is already doing. Separate camera and chat apps already separate off some site functions, and third-party apps will shortly be available via  a Facebook app store.
Of those polled, 57% hoped that it would be cheaper than an iPhone – presumably supported by Facebook’s advertising.

Smart Re-index

Smart Re-index Def: Smart re-index keeps the database available unlike normal re-index and the type of re-index(rebuild or re-organization) will be decided based on the fragmentation percentage.  To set up smart reindex, we need to check the fragmentation level of the database and decide whether it should be index rebuild or reorganizing. If fragmentation percentage <30 then reorganize else rebuild After the reindex is performed, we update statistics for that database.  Here's the git link for smart re-index Smar reindex code Above mentioned is one of the ways to configure smart re-index. A job can be scheduled to run the above code and reports can also be configured to check the fragmentation percentage.

Tail Log Backups

Tail log backups capture the tail of the log even if the database is offline, damaged, or missing data files. This might cause incomplete metadata from the restore information commands and msdb. However, only the metadata is incomplete; the captured log is complete and usable. If a tail-log backup has incomplete metadata, in the backupset table, has_incomplete_metadata is set to 1. Also, in the output of RESTORE HEADERONLY, HasIncompleteMetadata is set to 1. To create a tail log backup, use below script BACKUP LOG [DB Name]    TO [TLog_Device_Location]      WITH NO_TRUNCATE;   GO Scenarios That Require a Tail-Log Backup If the database is online and you plan to perform a restore operation on the database, begin by backing up the tail of the log. To avoid an error for an online database, you must use the ... WITH NORECOVERY option of the BACKUP Transact-SQL statement. If a database is offline and fails to start and you need to res...
