Best practice is to explicitly specify the table name/alias for every column in a query. Otherwise, if one of the tables adds a column with the same name, the same...

Other issues:
1) if there's an error in a db file (such as would show up in a DBCC CHECKDB), it won't reattach
2) during a reattach, the file gets...

It's no longer needed for moving files around on the same instance. Instead you can update the master catalog with the file locations, take the db offline, move the files,...

You don't need an ID in this table at all (at least on what's known so far); in fact, as so often is the case, it corrupts what would be...

It may depend on specifically what you're trying to do.

Yeah, your "DBAs" are dead wrong, and don't seem to understand indexing at even a basic level, which is a tough situation for you (and all the dbs they control!).
