That is weird.
I tried a few things like having the ON condition include both tables, and it still worked.
Always updated from the header table, not the detail table, so I...

Reading of individual files is again done using xp_cmdShell.

There is no way to block SA from seeing the code.
Even if you keep it outside the database, a trace (extended events) or certain queries (DMVs) will show what is...

You could always set up another VM, install from the same ISO onto it, and see if the same thing happens again. That would be time-consuming, but it would...

NVARCHAR won't hold RTF files, just the text. I would expect VARBINARY instead of IMAGE, for RTF files.
This is wrong, NVARCHAR and VARCHAR will hold RTF...

The example I run into most often is search engine results. What matters most is speed and relevancy, in most cases, not consistency and "completeness" (whatever that would mean...
