    It's not actually a cartesian product, so an Inner Join and a Cross Join with the same criteria will produce the same plan and same results.

    Is the login in use still associated with that database role?

  • RE: Avoiding NULLS when inserting data from Excel to SQL Tables using an SSIS Package (or truncation errors when using .CSV)

    You're welcome.
