SQL Server Backup and Restore

A DBA's tasks, from day-to-day, are rarely constant; with one exception: the need to ensure each and every day that any database in their charge can be restored and recovered, in the event of error of disaster. In this book, you'll discover how to perform each of these backup and restore operations using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), basic T-SQL scripts and Red Gate's SQL Backup tool.

Question of the Day

Multiple Sequences

In SQL Server 2022, I run this code:

CREATE SEQUENCE myseqtest START WITH 1 INCREMENT BY 1;
GO
CREATE TABLE NewMonthSales
  (SaleID    INT
  , SecondID int
 , saleyear  INT
 , salemonth TINYINT
 , currSales NUMERIC(10, 2));
GO
INSERT dbo.NewMonthSales
  (SaleID, SecondID, saleyear, salemonth, currSales)
SELECT
  NEXT VALUE FOR myseqtest
, NEXT VALUE FOR myseqtest
, ms.saleyear
, ms.salemonth
, ms.currMonthSales
FROM dbo.MonthSales AS ms;
GO
SELECT * FROM dbo.NewMonthSales AS nms

Assume the dbo.MonthSales table exists. If I run this, what happens?
