Are you designing a table in the GUI? If so, set the column to an Identity. You do that in the Column Properties at the bottom of the...

join CalendarPeriod cp on (cp.CalendarDate = OrderDate and CalendarPeriod = @Period) or (@Period = ‘All’)
That works fine if @Period != 'All', but as...

Aha! That makes more sense.
Use the "Set Language" option in the script to force US English in that case. Unless you can change the server setting without breaking...

Don't bother with date/time formatting in the query, unless you absolutely have to. The presentation layer is where that should happen. Allows for localization, personal preferences, et al.

It's one of those things where it looks really good on paper, but usually fails miserably in actual use.
Company I used to work for used virtual deletes and virtual updates....

You're welcome.
In that case (size of DB), either log shipping or snapshot replication will be best. Probably log shipping, using the Standby options so the database can be queried...
