You can have SSIS run .NET code, which can be used to automate Excel. Have SSIS create the Excel file, then a script opens the file through automation, auto-fits...

I've had plenty of instances where removing the time was important for a warehouse or reporting solution, but otherwise, I leave it in. I'd rather have it and not...

The first thing I'd do is break the proc into smaller procs and have it all called from a master proc. Then you can tune each one.
As written, the...

UDFs have to be followed by parentheses, even if they don't have input parameters.
Is your command:
