The reason you're getting 0 on small databases is because this, "sum(page_count)*8/1024" is integer math, and any number smaller than 128 for sum(page_count) will give 0.
Cast the page count as...

Is there a reason to not use the import wizard in Management Studio? Is this a one-time import, or something you'll do regularly?

The format doesn't matter. Dates and times are stored in SQL as numbers. The missing milliseconds will cause it to not be equal.
In datetime, dates are stored as...

Okay, I'm kicking myself now. Should have thought to test with nchar, instead of char.

You're telling me I fixed it by accident? I just put the semi-colon on because I've gotten in the habit of closing commands with it.
Yeah, SQL Server isn't...

Thanks. I'm concerned about performance. Do you know if this solution would out-perform the convert function?
Which solution are you asking about? Steve's use of datepart in the Select...

I'm getting "£". Didn't check for that.
Tested:
create table #Test (
ID int identity primary key,
Val char(1) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1250_CS_AS )
insert into #test (val)
select char(0xA3) union all
select 'L'
select *
from #test
where val like...

Actually, when I was first learning SQL, Books Online took too much for granted in many cases. Too many circular definitions, too much left out in too many cases.

Apprenticeship is a good way to train someone. Give them simple tasks to do, and some help on those, and work your way up from there.

My favorite way to do this on tables where you query this kind of thing regularly, is to use indexed, computed columns.
Alter table dbo.MyTable
add DateYear as datepart(year, MyDateColumn),
DateMonth as datepart(month,...
