    Need to find this without using union/union all and in one select statement.

  • RE: How to reduce the database size of the User DB's

    If they want to reduce the size of the database permanently, then they need to archive/delete data.

    Don't change the autogrow settings, they're fine as they are.

    Shrinking might get you...

  • RE: SQL Server 2012: Server permissions deleted overnight

    Lord Lucan (5/19/2016)


    Hi,

    Brandie Tarvin (5/19/2016)

  • RE: SQL Server 2012: Server permissions deleted overnight

    Sounds like the database is getting restored from some other backup every night. Check the SQL error log for entries noting the DB has been restored.
