What Jack said. I'm not suggesting a Trigger at all. In fact, I strongly urge you not to use a trigger. Triggers play merry heck with the database processing power.

Slam? I didn't mean to slam. Sorry if you took offense at my reply.
Roy is correct about the procs, though. What you've got will work, but it'll be heck on...

Lee,
I think they do, but don't take our word for it. Stick in a dummy proc in your GOTO that creates some fake data, then stick another dummy proc in...

Okay. DB Maintenance plans are created as SSIS packages, so that explains the error format.
More questions & some suggestions.
Do you have any third party software installed for backing up your...

Kevin,
Can you give us the details of the job step that sends out the mail and is supposed to include the attachment? Things like Step Type, the database it's running...

BOL (Books Online) is also a good resource.
I'm pretty sure that backing up a standby database is not really any different from backing up a regular database.

I can't count the number of times that a wrong phrase in Google had me chasing ghosts. @=)
Glad I could help. And thank you for posting your resolution. That should...

I'm going to reiterate what I said earlier.
Use DDL triggers to log changes to a table in an Admin database. Use a Datetime column to log the time the...

And thanks for posting your solution.

We actually have this working with attachments, but it's been a while since we set it up.
However, just got a new Dev cluster, so I'll play with it in the...

As soon as I find some data and code I can post without having to sanitize it first, I'll put up an example.

RBarry,
Depends on the situation. You can't always fix the Group By. Sometimes it screws up your result set if you do.
Believe me, I've tried that. Sometimes fixing the Group By...

Wait a minute. I just looked at your data again. You're not doing a pivot. Not even close. Pivot is where you change your columns into rows and rows into...
