It sounds to me like it could be a locking issue. If there are other queries running against the table you're trying to update, your stored proc will be blocked...

Were you logged in as an administrator when you tried to install? If not, uninstall the whole lot, log in as admin and try to reinstall.

Any error message either from the installation or the start service?

Case can only be used within a select statement

Bigint (Integer (whole number) data from -2^63 (-9,223,372,036,854,775,808) through 2^63-1 (9,223,372,036,854,775,807). Storage size is 8 bytes.)

This should work, although I haven't tested it

Select * FROM A LEFT OUTER JOIN B ON A.a1=B.a1 AND A.a2=B.a2 WHERE B.a1 IS NULL AND B.a2 IS NULL

Two ways, the second may prevent the use of indexes, so be warned.

DECLARE @dt DATETIME

SET @dt = '2004/07/16'

SELECT * FROM tbl

WHERE cTime BETWEEN @dt AND DATEADD(ss,-1,DATEADD(dd,1,@dt))

tblthisproductPolicyNumbers.lngPolicyNumber AS lngPolicyNumber,

tblConditions.lngConditionNumber AS lngConditionNumber,

tblConditions.numCycle AS numCycle,

...

You're missing some quotes

....WHERE p.TplanCond='thistestplan'

Without the quotes sql is looking for a column named thistestplan, which I assume from your comment doesn't exist.

Replace the where clause in the string...

And the second query has a syntax error in that there is a space between Table and 2

(Table 2 instead of Table2)

Articles on managing a data warehouse would be greatly appreciated.

Specifically any differences between managing a data warehouse as opposed to managing an OLTP system

This should work, though it's a bit ugly
