  • RE: How we can implement load balancing in SQL Server?

    With an immense amount of difficulty.

    SQL scales up, not out. If you do decide to go that route, you need some form of replication (probably peer-to-peer) and then implement your...

  • RE: Temp Table and column defination.

    Just remember the scoping rules. If a temp table is created in dynamic SQL, it's only visible within that dynamic SQL and will be automatically dropped once that piece of...
