There it is.

Every non-clustered index includes the key for the clustered index (or, an ID for a heap) so that from the non-clustered index, you can get to the appropriate...

[RSSQLDB].[dbo].[RSINVOICE].[DraftNum]=[@DraftNum]

DraftNum is in that index somewhere. It's a key, an include column, or as Frederico says, part of the clustered index key. Above is from the predicate of the index...

I like the idea of splitting the identity keys, artificial keys, from the natural keys. I also like the idea of hiding the artificial keys from the end users. I'm...

Absolutely ROWLOCK is going to cause blocking. In fact, using the ROWLOCK hint may even cause more blocking. Hints are not hints. Hints are commandments that the optimizer and query...

Probably not. Data modifications have to go somewhere to be persisted. That's locally. As the amount of data you modify grows, more and more data is stored locally. Now, you...

You get a time-based cleanup and a size-based cleanup....

Since you can do a backup and a restore, you can do log shipping. If you're looking for a way to do this to MI with minimal downtime, that's generally...
