  • RE: TOP vs Max/Min: Is there a difference?

    A useful test might be to sort by a different column than you're selecting. Sort by date, name, etc., and retrieve a numeric value, for instance.

  • RE: AOAG w/o Cluster Forced Failover Issue

  • RE: Free Encryption

    Looks like it was removed. The toolkit was actually an implementation specifically for SQL 2000, which is why it was probably removed. The primary encryption functionality is built into SQL...

    Taking a risk for a big payoff is one thing, but many people (without any other kind of safety net - e.g. a wealthy family) will not want...
