Did you try ...

ALTER SCHEMA system_function_schema TRANSFER dbo.fn_DateTime24;

- someone didn't pay attention when creating/altering the table.

- Latin_General_CI_AS is a "new" sqlserver2005 collation. This should have some advantages for NVarchar.

are you looking for e.g.

Me

.myrelationddl.SelectedValue.ToString

If you can, don't shrink the logfile !

Every extend it needs, takes an extra efford of your server.

It only extends if needed, due to transaction load.

It's a good choice...

alter database xx set RECOVERY  SIMPLE .

This way every ended transaction's logspace is immediatly set available again.

Point in time recovery is not possible. you can only restore fullbackups and differentials.

If the sum transactions...

select mycol, case when myrowcountcol > 1 then 'High' 

                          when myrowcountcol < 1 then 'Low' 

                          else 'ONE'

                          end as HL

from (select mycol, count(*) as myrowcountcol

          from ..... 

         group by mycol

        ) A

you'll need to use sp_changedbowner to change a db's owner.

sa = systemadministrator = omnipotent meaning has all authority to do anything with all db of a serverinstance. If you make...

IMO the problem is that your primary key is CLUSTERING !

This also has an impact to _all_ NCI !

Drop and recreate your Primary key but make it non-clustering.

Create a clustering...

DECLARE @Date_Time_Requested  DATETIME

DECLARE @Count_TimeOut_Records INT

DECLARE @MailMessage  VARCHAR(8000)

DECLARE @NewLine   CHAR(2)

DECLARE @Oldest_Date  DATETIME

DECLARE @EmailAddress  VARCHAR(50)

DECLARE @MailSubject                VARCHAR(150)

---Initialisation

SELECT @Oldest_Date = getdate()

SELECT @Count_TimeOut_Records = 1

  Set @EmailAddress = 'yourmailaddress@yourprovider.whatever'

  SELECT @NewLine = char(13) + char(10)

  SELECT @MailSubject = 'TEST  !  (...

@query = 'select * from AIS.dbo.vwOrdersShippedNotInvoiced'

this may "sound" redicule, but that's how it always works overhere

I suppose each node hosts 2 active instances of sqlserver.

On each node the active instanceses will compete for the ram (6Gb < 2*4Gb) and cpu (4speed cpu < 2*4slow ? ) ....

btw "...The databases migrated from four standalone servers with quad processors and 4 to 6GB of memory...."

could it be that .... 4 * 4slow + 4*(4 to...
