    You're welcome. Sounds like a classic trees vs forest issue. Happens to everyone now and again.

  • RE: XML Returning &amp instead of &

    If you simply query the XML, that's exactly what you will get. That's how XML stores that type of data.

    What end result are you trying to get?

  • RE: Should transaction log backups' file extension be .TRN or .BAK

    The file extensions are just there for your convenience, since you probably won't be double-clicking a backup file to try to "open" it. Use whatever you're comfortable with.
