You could write your own aggregate function to concatenate the values, and then it becomes a simple GROUP BY query. Other than that, I can't think of any way...

Or, if your table looks like your second example, and not your first, then just create the table with T_VEHICLES as a computed column. Again, no triggers, but everything...

I think I see what's going on. You need to make sure that NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM has permissions on the remote server. Either that or make a different login...

Try using brackets ([]) instead of inverted commas ("") to enclose your server name.

I would advise you not to shrink your logs regularly. Let them grow to whatever size they need to be and then leave them. You can reduce the...

Why is this a problem? If you want to select everything from a table, then you need a lock on the whole table. It doesn't matter whether that's...

Something like this:

INSERT INTO LOGLOG (destination, [content])

SELECT phonenumber, 'hello world'

FROM USERLIST

where OWNERNAME LIKE @name

Are you sure you need the join at all? From the data you've provided (which looks as if you've simplified it quite a lot), it appears that this will...

This is a little bit confusing. Please will you provide table DLL in the form of CREATE TABLE statements, some sample data in the form of INSERT statements and,...

Yes, I think you can use an XML file, although I've never done it that way myself. I think you'll need to study this area quite carefully since it...

Are you sure about that? Can you not create a different configuration filter for each package, and store them in a SQL Server table? Then, when your file...

The SSIS equivalent of dynamic properties in DTS is Package Configurations. You'll probably need to do a bit of reading about it, since I don't think it works in...
