Cluster both tables by ( StartDateTime, ID ) rather than just ID. Then, since you'll be moving data in cluster key order, you can just use a standard copy-then-delete approach.
Btw,...

Another possibility is, assuming that:
(1) column avol was NULL before this UPDATE
(2) your server still has the default FILLFACTOR 0f 0 (=100)
Then this UPDATE could a lot of leaf page...

You *might* also want some background process to remove carts after a certain period of time, or maybe not. For example, I can go into Amazon, put something in my...

Creating and dropping tables is significant overhead. You'd be much better of, as others have noted, with a permanent table. You could key rows in that table by user id...

Just use a method that works under any/all DATEFIRST settings, much simpler and safer:

With 20 name columns, how do you verify that all the names are unique across all rows? And, if they're not unique, how do you know which id to assign...

The CHECKPOINT is one of the steps required before SQL can mark the existing log space as reusable. Since you're in SIMPLE recovery model, the only thing that could prevent...

Also, you should issue an explicit CHECKPOINT on the db when you want logs to clear. Part of the requirement for freeing log space, SIMPLE recovery, is that a CHECKPOINT...

I would make it truly more generic (might as well). Definitely avoid the use of INFORMATION_SCHEMA views, since they are not 100% reliable and often seem very slow. I, too,...

You're welcome! I had to make one correction to the query above, btw.

Naturally you can't use the current file names, since they're already in use for the original db. Use "WITH MOVE" to "tell" SQL the new file names
