  Hi ALL,

  We are planning to migrate our database from sql server 2012 (On-Prem) to RDS - MSQ server 2017/2019.

  As i went through the AWS documents , i found that extended stored procedures are not supported . I know that  xp_cmdshell is not supported in RDS-MS sql server .

  So there are two other extended stored procedures sp_execute and sp_executesql . I want your help to understand if they will work in RDS - MSQ server 2017/2019.

  Please also let me know the workaround for it ,if they will not work in RDS.

  Thanks & Regards

  Arvind Patil

  I don't know about those stored procedures and can't help there.

  Of a much larger concern, suppose you want to restore just one database?  Go check the documentation on that.  IIRC (meaning that I could be wrong and you need to go look that u) my understanding is that you can only restore the entire instance in RDS and not separate databases.

  First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
  ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

  Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
