I seriously doubt this is your problem, but we ran into the same error message due to two problems on our system, so these might help you. First was the...

I'm not sure how to help you on the automatic kill of any long running procs (never forget that, depending on what a procedure is doing, it can take as...

I believe I got this script somewhere on this site, but it cycles through the indexes and checks fragmentation. Depending on the fragmentation it does nothing, runs a rebuild or...

TSQL all by itself can't write out to a file. From TSQL, to get to a file you'd need to call sp_OA procedures. Otherwise, I'd look at DTS as a...

It is fast. It's not necessarily safe though. Once you've detached the files, in theory, just about anything could happen to them. What's wrong with backup & restore. I've never...

I've never actually found a situation that both required an indexed view yet was simple enough in it's design to be able to implement one, so I understand what you're...

Honestly sounds like you might benefit from an indexed view. Did you look into that instead of loading a table? Ony reason I ask is because the indexed view is...

Swing over to SourceForge.net and search for SqlUnit. It uses the nUnit test driven development approach for TSQL. It would allow for a set up step, an execution step, verification...

Sure. It's not hard. You create the database without the NDF files or the file group, just the basic MDF & LDF file. Then you add the filegroup and files...

All true.

However, the problems we ran into weren't related to I/O or memory, but rather when using the table variables (@ tables) in joins with each other and regular tables,...

Ah, well, you've just gone past my knowledge of the topic.

Good luck.

Sounds like a permissions issue. Backups don't run under your security context, but under that of SQL Server. Make sure that SQL Server is running as a network login instead...

We restore across the network all the time.

RESTORE DATABASE x

FROM DISK = '\\server\sharename'

WITH REPLACE

Works great. Well, assuming the network is working correctly, hops across domains cause it to run very...

After wrestling with all the work-arounds (and losing) we finally settled on forwarding all events from our clustered servers to a non-clustered server where we have mail nicely, safely, reliably...

Everything the last post said and...

Statistics aren't generated for table variables so their use in queries can, depending on their size, cause performance problems.
