Grant,

What do I need Active solution configuration and Active solution platform for?

This is a database project, not a C# one, so why am I exposed to and maybe...

In addition to Gert's blog, Barclay Hill is posting on best practices with VSTS:DBE. It's worth a read. http://blogs.msdn.com/bahill/default.aspx

Requests & Transactions are different.

A request has a SessionId. This can be used to get to the sys.dm_tran_session_transactions dmv. This then links to sys.dm_tran_active_transactions through the transactionid.

So, yeah, a request...

Hey, Buck Woody just posted a "Help Me, Help You" post that some of our more infamous posters, and quite a few others, could use. Thought you all might be...

Oh, lordy. That's too much like work. After about the third SELECT DISTINCT, I lost interest. Sorry.

There are always exceptions, but in general, you're better off using the LEFT JOIN. When in doubt, write the query both ways and look at the execution plans.
