Wow. Reading everyone's post, it sounds like many have a problem with 'IT' or 'System Admins' whining about DB's taking up to much disk space. Disk space...

Thanks for the update. It's proved to be useful many times for me.

That'll teach me to read the question a little more carefully. Of course, then we couldn't have had a fascinating discussion on AWE and Lock Pages in memory. ...
