I agree with Joe on this one and would disagree with aaron.reese.  Parsing a string like that in SQL is going to be painful and adding more logic into the...

If you are getting the results you need, is there a reason to go with DISTINCT instead of GROUP BY?

If you absolutely need to remove the DISTINCT and replace it...

I can think of a few approaches, but my recommendation is to scrap that process and instead use stored procedures and have your code call the stored procedure instead.  This...

What I am expecting is happening is that the datatype of BillingRateB is going to be something like VARCHAR and the value is something along the lines of '' or...

Might be a silly question, so feel free to ignore this, but do you really need the DATE and TIME in 2 different columns?  I have seen systems do this...

As a guess - I would say that the report is rendering and/or calculating out the number of pages it needs which is why you need to wait.  When the...

From looking at what you have, I think I see what is wrong.  You are inserting into AllData the columns, but since you are not specifying a column to insert...

That is a painful problem to solve.  The other problem that can arise is how many columns do you need to make to handle current state and future state?

My opinion...

To me that sounds like when the disk had bad sectors which resulted in data getting corrupted in the system databases and possibly user databases.

First, I would put it into...

I would start by reaching out to Microsoft for support.

They may suggest that you rebuild master, but you will lose all of your logins and roles and other objects stored...

I am thinking you mean DLL not DDL.  Wireshark would probably help determine if it is network related, and I am still leaning towards something on the network stack between...

With the view, if the indexes on the table are "good enough" for it, then you could still use the view without the index on it.  This would allow you...

Pretty sure in SQL Server, that would be a view or a table.

You cannot name a query.  So whatever the contents of the query "QRY_DATES" are, you would need to...

If I am understanding your post correctly, switching to Windows Server 2019 is causing the slowness getting data from the SQL instance, correct?

If so, I would guess the problem is...
