  • Reply To: SQL Service "services" recovery option

    It really depends.  Yours looks to be customized as the "Subsequent failures" option is set to run a program (powershell) which I am fairly confident is non-standard.

    My approach for systems...

    The above is all just my opinion on what you should do. 
    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.

    Step 1 - FULL BACKUP.  Take a full backup so you can get back to your current state.

  • Reply To: Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition license expired error

    Pretty sure it needs access to the internet to do what is needed for license validation.

    That being said, why do you need this installed on a server?  I don't think...

    First question is easy.  SELECT <columns> FROM <table> WHERE <date column> = CAST('09.01.2021' AS DATE)

    Possible? yes.  Would I do it? no.

    The reason I wouldn't do it is you are going to have a whole bunch of tables that are named by the date.  Each...
