I think one of the reasons that databases and their tools have lagged behind other software development is that it still requires human expertise to make a database perform very...

The method of import won't make a difference.
What you might try is breaking it down, character by character, and comparing that.
If you have a numbers table, you can do something...

On the original point of the editorial, yeah, there's a definite line between doing something off-job-description for the team, or doing something that should be at a lower level but...

On Darren's point, I can certainly see the CEO wanting to be appraised of such situations. Were I in charge, I'd want to know about emergency travel needs, or...

You need to have a batch separator in there. In default installations of Management Studio, it's "go".

If your proc actually gets a list that looks like "ID1,ID2,ID3" as opposed to "1,2,3", then you'll need to change the "replace" part of the XML string to:
