  • Reply To: There are no SQL Server instances or shared features that can be updated -2017

    You missed putting a checkmark in the error.jpg.  Select "MSSQLSERVER" and it should install the update for you.

    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.

    My advice - contact your license vendor.  They will be able to provide you the best bang for your buck and the best advice about what licenses you actually need.

    This looks like an easy one to me - Z:\ is mapped for you, not mapped for all users on the server.  So the SQL Agent service account doesn't have...

  • Reply To: Costing per database

    I think that is a very per-use case question.

    For example, the cost to host a data warehouse is going to be different than a highly OLTP workload.

    And there are a...

  • Reply To: How to know which index is invalid index on a table?

    From my understanding both IDX1 and IDX2 would use the exact same space.  They are holding the exact same data, just in potentially a different order.

  • Reply To: How to know which index is invalid index on a table?

    I think I can help with that one.

  • Reply To: Event Notifications - Can these be set up to monitor for changes to table data?

    Just to confirm - you don't have any triggers on the table, right?  Those can cause all sorts of surprises like that.
