  • RE: intellisense not working

    Weird. I guess I'd be poking around in settings if it were me. But sounds like you've already done that.

    Call Microsoft? Should have some free support tickets...

  • RE: Exporting a TEXT (or long varchar) column to an Excel file with the OPENROWSET command.

    Not sure what you mean about SSIS not being able to do a "dynamic command string". It can do dynamic connections, and dynamic queries.

    But the main thing you're running...

  • RE: intellisense not working

    What version of SQL Server is your database on, and what compatibility level is the database? Native SSMS intellisense is affected by that, if I remember correctly. (I...

  • RE: Select only mismatching column NEED HELP !

    Whatever works for you. As mentioned, they've all got pros and cons.

    Edit: So far as I know, CDC doesn't use any triggers. It's basically just an automated log-parser....

    Sch-M locks are schema locks. Means you can't change the definition of the table during the bulk insert.

    Sch-M is a schema modification lock. Taken by...

    Not clear on one thing: Intellisense in Visual Studio, or Intellisense in SQL Server Management Studio?

  • RE: Icons and what it means ...

    Another thing I find useful in SSMS, is use the Tools->Options->Environment, to change from "Tabbed documents", to "MDI environment".

    Then you get individual "windows" for each connection, and you can see...

    The green icons mean SSMS can tell that the SQL Server service is running. White means it doesn't have access to that data, so it's not sure.

  • RE: When AutoShrink will occur in SQL server 2008?

    Autoshrink will shrink the database when there's 25% space available, per http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb522682.aspx.

    But it's almost always a really, really, really bad idea to turn on autoshrink.

    You can also schedule a database/file...
