Brandie is 100% correct. You'll need to reinstall SQL Server.

Simply moving them to a seperate file will get you some, very moderate, performance gains, but moving them to their own disk will help a ton. But, it's still best...

One of these must be returning zero:

SUM(TotalMaterialValue) / SUM(TotalQuantityMade) AS AverageMaterialCost,

SUM(TotalLabourValue) / SUM(TotalQuantityMade) AS AverageLabourCost,

SUM(TotalOverheadValue) / SUM(TotalQuantityMade) AS AverageOverheadCost,

SUM(TotalTotalValue) / SUM(TotalQuantityMade) AS AverageTotalCost,

SUM(TotalTimeBookedMinutes) / SUM(TotalQuantityMade) AS AverageTimeInMinutes,

SUM(TotalTimeBookedHours) / SUM(TotalQuantityMade) AS...

You can use a variable on an insert, but there has to be a column to insert it into. You can't just throw it in as a placeholder.

And yes, it's...

I doubt there's an article out there comparing the two because they aren't really something you compare. Here's the BOL entry for max degree of parallelism and degree of parallelism....

The max degree of parallelism and having multiple files for your tempdb are not directly related. One has to do with file storage, the other has...

If they need live access you just have to set up a connection either direct through ADO (or whatever) or using another tool such as the Oracle Gateway (it used...

DealerID is being supplied from the original file, right? That's where you get it. Presumably you can join back to the original file with the address information to get the...
