  • RE: BULK INSERT first row

    I was very torn between "3" and "Not supported". Based on the following in the cited documentation, I kind of felt both were correct:

  • RE: SQL Jobs

    Let's assume that there's no output file already there in the location.

  • RE: BUFFER POOL EXTENSION EDITIONS

    Interesting question. Too bad none of the answers are correct. BI edition does not support buffer pool extension.
