Documentation is like insurance. You hope it'll never be needed, but if it is needed, you hope you have enough. And you hope the guy whose fault the...

If it's an identity column, you can use the ident_current() function. Be careful with that though, since if it's run while an insert is being done, it will give...

It can be done, through Kerberos (or however that's spelled). I don't know the details, since I had a domain admin do the work for me.
The other option is...

The first thing I'd do is do some testing with more rows of test data. If you're expecting hundreds of thousands of rows, and you test with 5-10, you...

I have to go with "it depends", too. What is the table used for? How normalized is it? (If not sure what that means, ask. A...

YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM isn't an implicit conversion that's localization dependent, so far as I know. The problem is almost certainly a typo in the first year. I think the...

You can't move live database files to a different drive. You can move data to a different drive, by moving the clustered indexes, but even that creates locks on...

Run the backup jobs under a domain login that has the rights to both locations (the rights to run the backup and the rights to create files).
If it's actually a...

The only other solution I can think of is paginate the query, and limit it to the max number of rows per sheet, and include the "page number" as an...
