Nice point of view, luckily not all announcements are written is this way.

Really stupid things in my junior dba-years:

Dropping the wrong table in a 40gb database. Sure I'm on the testserver.

Update without where clause (where's my history table)

Merry Christmas!

You could recreate the view on the serverbackend and relink the view afterwards in Access.

This should be done whenever underlying datastructure changes, since views in sqlserver keep the definition of...

You can union both results together

select EmpID

,LName

,FName

,Role

,FileID

,FileNo

,SectID

,AttyID

,FileName

,DateOpened

,Dept

,Status

,Desc

from employees

inner join files

on empid=sectid

union all

select EmpID

,LName

,FName

,Role

,FileID

,FileNo

,SectID

,AttyID

,FileName

,DateOpened

,Dept

,Status

,Desc

from employees

inner join files

on empid=attyid

order by empid

This can be removed as sorting...

Could you post some sample data and the query to recreate the problem?

Odd that adding an index would cause duplicate records to appear.

Sure that the query is built correctly?

About the non-clustered index on device.simid.

By default, when you create a foreign key, sql server doesn't automatically add an index on both columns involved in the master-parent relationship (at least...

Autogrowth is recommended be a fixed size instead of a percentage.

A monitoring script for database-size should be in the scripts-sections.

Hello,

Thanks for the sample data. It was great for testing.

Columnnames can vary.

I would implement it via a foreign key (validation) +trigger (preventing duplicates)
