  • Reply To: SQL server 2019 reporting need help

    Alternately to Ant-Green's suggestion, if you go to the SSRS webpage, there is a download button in the top right corner (if you didn't disable it) where you can download...

    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.

    To add to what Grant said, it could also be that there isn't much "new" to add.  I forget the version, but I think it was 2014 where a lot...

    I think probably what will help you the most is something like this:

    It depends.  The favorite DBA answer.

    From BOL - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/data/adonet/sql/snapshot-isolation-in-sql-server

    With debugging SQL Server code, I do not use the debugger.  I've never found it to be that useful with respect to TSQL.  Maybe my code is not interesting enough...
