Bump.

Surely someone has a comment?

The one time I did manage a VLDB, we sure has heck ran the log backups more frequently than once a day, but then it was an OLTP system. I'm...

Please, a syntax check on the XQuery. It's my first time out of the gate with this and I'm not sure I'm avoiding stupidity successfully.

Neither full text or xml has me terribly excited. If it were my project, I'd be reexamining the assumptions and trying to find a method of defining the requirements more...

Sounds like you just need an "ORDER BY"

No. Analysis Services is for cubes. Totally different application. You just need to do the stuff in the post above to identify the appropriate SPID and then use the command:

Adding the other column will only help if it turns the index into a covering index. If you're doing SELECT *... I probably won't do anything.

Shy details, it sounds like you're talking about temporary tables.
