Microsoft

Hello,

Does anyone know how to get the GUID from a PDB file?

I'm using Microsoft's Debug Interface Access SDK

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/f0756hat.aspx

and getting E_PDB_INVALID_SIG when passing in the GUID i expect when trying to load the PDB.

I'd just like to know the GUID of the PDB so I can be certain that it's mismatching and not just a PDB that's perhaps corrupted somehow.

Is there a tool that can do this? I've tried dia2dump and dumpbin, but with no joy...

Many thanks,

thoughton.

MS SQL Database with clustered GUID PKs - switch clustered index or switch to sequential (comb) GUID

We have a database in which all the PKs are GUIDs, and most of the PKs are also the clustered index for the table. We know that this is bad (due to the random nature of GUIDs).
