Could be blocking. Could be resource contention. Could be differences in the amount of data returned. Could be changes in the execution plan caused by changes in parameter values and...

It means pretty much what it says. The query you're attempting to run needs more memory than is available. I did a bunch of reading on this. It's largely a...

Short of building dynamic T-SQL to make it happen, I'm pretty sure you can't. To individually grant permissions on objects, you need to grant them individually. One thing you can...

Thanks for posting the solution. It's helpful to the next person who looks at the question.

Yes, the query looks exactly like you mentioned, Michael. I like the idea of splitting by usage scenarios, especially where there seem to be a couple of the more...

Jeff has nailed the answer. I just want to add that, yes, in Azure you can use Plan Forcing to ensure that a given plan gets used. It's part of...

Changing the database changes the default behavior. Changing the specifics of the connection changes that connection only.

I have a few blog posts that show how Causality Tracking works. The concept is really simple. Things like a login and a DML statement are connected. So, group...

Always remember, open source is free of licensing costs. That doesn't mean it's free. You're going to pay somewhere. You may pay in reduced functionality as many of the open...

So what you're doing here is creating a whole series of result sets with that dynamic query. There's not a way to put stuff together, of course. Instead, you should...

It all depends on how the dacpac is applied. If people are just right clicking in SSMS, your level of control is zero. If there's a script that is used,...

Hmmm... No. You'd have to mark the system in some manner. You can avoid tables by using Extended Properties. That's an easy one.

Fundamentals are still the same from 2012, but if you want a better book recommendation, I'd look up Itzik Ben-Gan and get his book on T-SQL. Not only does it...

Strong recommendation, don't take anyone's advice on licensing. Go to Microsoft. They know. Everyone else just has opinions.

For what it's worth, I agree with @Ant-Green assessment, but I'd still go...
