    What version of excel source & destination?

  • RE: Restart SQL Server to create space on disk

    Something not mentioned here, but happens in my work environment. Backup files take up space too.

    How do you know that the individual column used 100GB?

  • RE: A schema for every user.

    During the upgrade process, SQL Server 2k5 automatically creates a schema for every user. It's a "feature" that Microsoft put in for who knows what reason. Schemas are new to...
