The SQL Server service is what manages the databases, so yes, if that is appropriately in place, you should be able to connect to the database.

I do radio as a hobby (yeah, I know, I'm worse than a cross-fitter, I won't shut up about it). The fun thing about the hobby is that you can...

Oh, that stinks. So sorry.

Times... meh. Especially a single run can be affected by so many things.

If you're getting different execution plans for the same query, it really is either parameter values, implying you...

Compile time values are also stored with the plan in the same place. When you look at plans with runtime values (aka, Actual Plans), you can also see the runtime...

Ha!

And we can keep going. Don't let Jeff get started on fragmentation. Don't let me get started on...

Since those are estimated calculations, it's probably just some rounding errors that they didn't bother eliminating. But, I don't know the internals, so maybe I'm wrong.

And then test them through a restore process.

More, bigger, faster hardware. That's the deal. No other magic run faster switches for a restore operation... although in 2022 the recovery aspect of a restore is radically improved, so,...

No, it's a real error. However, the good/bad news is, you're dealing with tempdb. You can just drop and recreate it (with a reboot). Here's documentation on dealing with...

Failover will always include recovery. It has to. It's likely that the one that is going really slow simply has a lot more transactions to deal with.

I've got nothing, but I figured you should at least know that someone was looking. Sorry.

Funny enough, the ChatGPT answer is pretty good, if not at all helpful. It's correct, the ANSI settings do affect plan generation. What it didn't bother to tell you was...

I've been in pain recently because of a niche topic and old information. I'm trying to migrate data into PostgreSQL through Azure IoT Hub. Troubleshooting stinks. Error messages are crap....

Yep. Pull first, then add stuff. You can't sync the two independently. One has to drive the other, especially initially.
