    The only thing I can think of doing in this case would be a proc that inserts the desired data, one table at a time, into a temp table. ...

  • RE: Anyone else's Studio slow to launch lately?

  • RE: Weird SSMS Exception Error

    Nope. Never seen that one. Did it have any lasting effects, or did it just go away on its own?

  • RE: A Worthwhile Goal

    I guess it depends on how you define "quality".

  • RE: Execute a Stored Proc as a background process

    Did you look at the startup proc idea I wrote up? That doesn't require any outside process, nor SQL Server Agent.

  • RE: Jobs Fail after I change the sa password
