    One thing I find amusing right now:

  • RE: How would you get rid of this cursor?!

    Where it has the "print @sql" in it, what output does it give you? The string should be built with the various database names already in it.

    I think the whole idea is that there will be a set of people/systems that will monitor hardware for you and you won't have to worry about it.

    It sure sounds interesting. And a lot of it is definitely either already here or on the horizon and visible.

    Maybe you should learn to use what is available in SQL Server, like REVERSE, instead of spending time duplicating what is already available.
