  • Reply To: Supported SQL version with OS

    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.

  • Reply To: SQLServer Error: 4060, Cannot open database in Availability Group

    My opinion - check the logs.  The message "the login failed" makes me think that the account was locked out or otherwise disabled.  If it is an AD account, if...

    Is it always failing on the same file?  If so, then it is likely something with that file and the restore.  If it is sometimes failing on that file and...

  • Reply To: Options to restrict users to select nothing but views only?

    My approach is to design the database with restrictions in place to begin with.  Use roles to restrict what data a user is allowed to access.  I expect (ie hope)...

  • Reply To: Question about malformed ZIP codes

    You could use ISNUMERIC.

    Personally, if I COULD I would be changing the application that puts the data into the system to validate it and refuse to store invalid data.
