Another way is to use Extended Events to capture wait metrics for the query. Alternatively, use sys.dm_os_wait_stats (for on-premises, sys.dm_db_wait_stats for Azure SQL Database) to capture the wait statistics....

Whoa!

You are literally begging for a SQL Injection attack with this code. I'd strongly suggest you read up on what that is and how to prevent it.

Next, you're trying...

Wouldn't you just add o.status to the SELECT list? I'm confused by what the question is.

SQL Server, by default after an install, will attempt to use every bit of CPU and RAM that the system will let it have. Assuming you've changed none of the...

It's not one I've run into, but doing a few internet searches, it looks like 8695 is related to malformed XML for the execution plan. So, the question is then,...

You'll get a lot better response posting that question to the main forums. The only people who will see are those who responded to this six year old thread.

You simply have to supply the schema name when referencing the object:

myschema.TheTable
yourschema.TheTable

Instead of just reference the table name alone.

Test it all as best you can. No, I wouldn't plan on undoing the install. Plus, backing up master won't cut it. You're changing the underlying executables, so restoring an...

Sadly, there isn't a magic formula that nails this. Some individual statistics may need to be updated multiple times a day. Others may never need to be updated manually. It...

Oh, don't do NOLOCK. Yeah, it will enhance performance because it changes how locking and blocking occurs within SQL Server. However, especially if you're getting lots of large scans, as...

Moving the target of your build process to Windows could help solve issues. You could then install whatever tools you needed to that Windows instance. Control could still be through...

There is a way to do this using T-SQL. However, I much prefer using SQL Compare from Redgate (even though I do work for them now, I used the...

Let's start with the importance of SQL Injection attacks, because you are absolutely open to them with this code. Especially the IN statements. That alone, you should rearchitect this.

Next,...

Yikes.

Nope. I'm not going to be much help here with DynamicsAX.

There's nothing magical about snapshot isolation. It helps with reads and blocking. It doesn't help with writes and blocking. If more than one person is attempting to update a given...
