  • RE: Standard to Enterprise Edition upgrade or reinstall

    I've done edition upgrades with the DB engine, but not with Analysis Services or Reporting Services. I don't know how SSAS handles it.
    Uninstall and reinstall is safer.

  • RE: Transaction log full error

    Before you disable CDC, find out why it's enabled. It may have a legit and important business use.
    Check that the jobs related to CDC are running correctly.

  • RE: Slow backup issue

    I'd guess that time is to create the backup file (can't recall if it has to be zeroed out). It shouldn't be that slow though.

  • RE: Login only has access to master and tempdb databases

    No, you shouldn't make them sysadmin.

    Can you script out the login, the user and all their permissions? There's probably a deny somewhere, or a missing permission.

  • RE: Receving a Primary Key Violation in my Target Table that has the exact same layout as the Source Table and the same primary key

    Try without the nolock, see if you can reproduce it.

  • RE: Are these both same? Begin Tran & Begin Try
