  • RE: Error in using SQLXMLBulkLoad

  • RE: OPENROWSET Trusted_Connection Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'

    It's a "too many steps for Windows authentication" problem. (There's a more formal name, but this one's more expressive.)

    Natively, Windows can only pass authentication one step, e.g.: client to...

  • RE: Total of records per set of seconds

    Alternately, if you don't have a Tally table in place, try this:

    DECLARE

    @SDateTime DATETIME,

    @EDateTime DATETIME ;
