    One thing before asking for faster disks - I would check if the disks are the bottleneck. I wouldn't try to fix a problem that doesn't exist.

    Also, if the 200...

    As with all advice you find on a random internet forum - you shouldn't blindly follow it.  Always test on a test server to see if there is negative side effects before making changes to live!
    I recommend you NEVER run "random code" you found online on any system you care about UNLESS you understand and can verify the code OR you don't care if the code trashes your system.

    That could be the case Phil, but it also doesn't hurt to try it. I've seen weirder things! I wouldn't rule out the firewall until I have disabled it. The...

    As a quick check before disabling the firewall, what about if you log into the SSRS server and try uploading from the server itself? That SHOULD bypass the firewall.

    Why bother storing something that you can calculate out when you query the data?

    What I mean is your table should have only the required data and then build views to...

  • Reply To: Best way to handle incremental duplicate data in SQL Server?

    In SQL, I would avoid a loop at all costs. I would estimate that 90% (likely a lot higher) of the time you do not need a loop.
