  • Reply To: MS SQL options to handle a large table, from the options listed below

    I ru ln CHECKDB nightly on my systems. I want to find out about works early. But it really depends on your risk tolerance.

    The above is all just my opinion on what you should do.

  • Reply To: Error in SSRS configuration when trying to select/change the Database

    Since you MUST prefix with "NP:" that means you are using named pipes to connect. I've never done that before. I ALWAYS use TCP/IP to connect to my SQL instances...

  • Reply To: Unable to begin a distributed transaction.

    Just to add, I believe you also need RPC OUT enabled on the linked server in order to execute stored procedures on a remote system as well.
