  • RE: What happens if SSMS is force-closed by an RDP logoff while adding a column?

    If you want to check, you can run

    KILL <session_id> WITH STATUSONLY

    Run that on a session that's not rolling back and you get an error. Run it on one that is...

  • RE: What happens if SSMS is force-closed by an RDP logoff while adding a column?

    If the connection was closed before the operation completed, it will have rolled back (or be in the process of rolling back)

  • RE: 2005 to 2012 certification upgrade?

    No multi-version upgrades.

    You can either upgrade your 2005 cert to 2008 (if the upgrade exams haven't expired) and then upgrade 2008 to 2012, or you can start over with 2012.

    This works
