  • Reply To: Table with 2950 columns ???

    No can do in SQL Server according to the docs: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/sql-server/maximum-capacity-specifications-for-sql-server?view=sql-server-ver16

  • Reply To: 2019 SSRS installation as developer edition problem

    As a random thought, are you fully patched on both SSRS and SQL Server?

    Also, when you uninstalled Standard, did you reboot after the uninstalls? And did you reboot after the...

    One nice thing is that with email notifications, things show up how you would expect. The other fun thing is it happens outside of the code block too:

  • Reply To: How to write to a file from SQL Server running on Docker Container on Linux
