  • RE: Dev version

    That's part of your production data pipeline. You can't use Dev Edition for that.

  • RE: Returning error on insert

    Nope. Would violate basic database ACIDity, because the transaction wouldn't be atomic.

  • RE: Convert rows to one column

    Search online for "string concatenate for xml". You'll find good solutions with that.

  • RE: Dev version

    Dev Edition can do anything Enterprise can do. You just can't use it for anything except development and testing.

    In T-SQL, you can use Left() in your Select to cut it off at 50 characters.

    In SSIS, you'd use a derived...

    Do you have a trace that will capture the commands and where they got to? That might help you start out.

  • RE: SQL Function to Split Comma Separated Values and Insert into Table

    Just to add another vote for NOT using this. There are MUCH better methods than stepping through with a string function in a loop.
