    While I normally avoid them, I think this may be a case where a cursor is your best bet.

  • RE: faster index rebuild from prod server verse local computer.

    I'm not clear on what you're asking.

    Do you mean you have a local copy of the database and it runs index rebuilds slower than the server copy?

  • RE: Windows Standard vs. Enterprise?

    Windows Server 2012 Standard has full features, but only allows 2 virtual instances on a license. The number of virtual instances is the only difference, per https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/server-cloud/products/windows-server-2012-r2/Purchasing.aspx.

  • RE: Beginning a CTE

    The correct answer is "none of the above".

    First, semicolons don't terminate batches, they terminate statements.

    It says the error log location can't be found. Take a look at the settings, see if it's able to map that.
